Morvranh - Black Dynasty
Released June 22, 2016

From Bandcamp:

""Black Dynasty" is a vocal and instrumental based dark ambient music. Slowly evolving using spiritual and meditative background with vocals from my friend Lucia Pospíšilová, who is involved in sacral singing. This dark ambient album combines dark atmospheres with sacral feelings and also instruments like piano, strings, flute, singing bowls or percussive elements.

Vocals - Lucia Pospíšilová, Michal Polgár

Morvranh is a dark ambient project from Handlová, Slovakia founded by Michal Polgár. Morvranh, from original Morfran is brittonic mythical warrior associated with ravens and crows. Project is focused on deep music, which create ominious, foreboding, disturbing, isolated or ritual atmospheres. The first time Morvranh was published was in 2014 with album „Mysterium“. Since then many ideas, feelings and atmospheres are waiting to be put to the right form under the wings of Morvranh."

[NEW IN ROTATION] Selected tracks from Charlie Ulyatt - Dead Birds

Charlie Ulyatt - Dead Birds
Released February 27, 2016

From Bandcamp:

"Dead Birds is, perhaps, the culmination of many years spent living in the wild and sparse flatlands of Lincolnshire. The bleak endless landscapes taking form in the sound of sustained minimal electric guitar. Despite this empty landscape, a warmth runs through the shimmering notes, slowly repeating and changing like a haunting yet unsettling nursery rhyme sonically told over wide open spaces.

Although an instrumental guitar album, the title track 'Dead Birds' contains the words of a Greek poet based on the story of Icarus, told as a political allegory through a short distorted ebow blast."

[NEW IN ROTATION] Atrium Carceri - Metropolis

Selected tracks from
Atrium Carceri - Metropolis
Released June 9, 2015


From Bandcamp:

"Locked out from the Illusion, this album takes place entirely in our former home. The darkened sky and gargantuan citadels line the horizon as the endless city, we once ruled as gods, stretches as far as the eye can see. Crossing the sea of the dead in search for a Beacon of Light that can lead the expedition to uncover the truth about the factions in control, what happened to the long lost architect and how to open a portal back into the colorful illusion the ignorant call home."

"This 11 track Atrium Carceri album is closely connected to The Untold and sheds more light unto what goes on in the Atrium Carceri universe and the Metropois in particular. An industrial, dark, distorted and cinematic experience unlike any other with amazing attention to detail and subtle layering, this album begs for repeated listening to take it all in."

[NEW IN ROTATION] VVAA - The Mother Stone

Selected tracks from:
VVAA - The Mother Stone
Released February 14, 2016

 

(Credits from Archive.org)

"The Mother Stone" is of these oneiric albums that realizes its pure poetic lavishness due to the purposeful intersection of significances, metaphors, instruments, interpretations and wavering ecletic moods. String instruments, mallet instruments, guitars, piano, vocoder, synthesizers, field recordings, and voices which harmonize the acting in 4 distinct languages (english, french, spanish and italian) are the vital ingredients that form this intimate concoction of poetry, music, noise, theater and silence thus creating a pulsating flow of darkness and a driving force that seems capable to generate surrealistic parallel universes. The glitch side of the album is mostly reduced, and if crackles, squeakings or streams of static noise occur, they are by their very nature present yet distant, a voiceover that amalgamates and combines but definitely embraced by the caress of a dis-harmonious improvisational squared structures.

From Bandcamp:
 

"From Santa Cruz, California, Michelle Eris began R'lyeh in 2011 to synthesize the sounds and sonic chaos described in the works of Cosmic Horror author HP Lovecraft and others. R'lyeh creates compositions from a variety of perspectives in a spectrum from ambient to harsh, minimal to chaotic. Her musical history spans two decades rooted in death metal, grindcore, electronic, noise, punk and EDM; filtered through hallucinogenic journeys, sonic entropy and introspective discovery."

ƘɸƴԼ - Modular Glitchtar Soundscapes Vol. 1

 Released November 27, 2014


From Bandcamp: 

 "This album is a collection of soundscapes made on lap-style slide guitars (dobro / electric lapsteel) with effects pedals, preparations and a lapstop used for live-looping purpose.
Blending post-rock, americana, eastern music, ambient and drone in a cinematic way, the music bridges the gap between traditional & experimental, acoustic & electronic and aims for a balance between textural and melodic.

All the tracks were improvised, recorded and mixed live.
The resulting stereo master tracks were then edited to make it shorter and more suitable to non-live listening but still show every step that occured during the live recording."

About Doxa: 
"trying to make sense of the half-awake hypnagogic state of consciousness between sleeping and dreaming; the same kind of semi-consciousness that follows hospital-induced anesthesia. this album also attempts to examine whispering and physical reactions to it, such as the controversial autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR)"
