THOLEN
"Sternklang" CD (20th Cycle)
Sternklang
is the expression of the intimate encounter with the whole, the direct
connection with the stars and the vast universe, the sense of complete
union with all the overdimensional attributes of what sourrounds us.
With THOLEN, Eisen, the man behind this project has given us an aurally
materialized glimpse of his numerous stargazing evenings...where the
soundscapes are revealed while the stars seemed to gather and sing
out of their primordial and powerful environment. The darkest hour
is always the one before sunrise...In fold out gatefold cardboard
sleeve.

SINKE
DUS "Akrasia" CD (19th Cycle)
Akrasia
is an old question dealing with the weakness of the will. To behave
"akratically" is when one acts against his better judgement,
committing acts that are known to be wrong but yet still going through
with the motion. Markus Lonebrink wanted to explore not so much the
philosophical issues at hand, but rather the subjective experience
of akrasia itself. To learn of the underlying motives of when one
acts akratically. Certain events in the akratic process felt natural
to him and it was those he tried to integrate into these soundscapes.
There are no conclusions described in the music, but there might be
a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps the shadow
of a hint of why we humans sometimes act as irrationally as we do.
A shared quest to gain better knowledge of oneself through this self-revisionistic
ambient journey filled with ethereally lush passages that give way
to a truly visionary and immersive experience.
The album also features a special collaboration with Pär Bostrom
of KAMMARHEIT.

NEW
RISEN THRONE "Whispers of the approaching wastefulness"
Enhanced CD (18th Cycle)
The
latest offering and first for Cyclic Law of one of Italy's finest
Black Ambient master.
The main concept and transpiring feeling of this album and the title
"Whispers of the approaching wastefulness" can best be described
as the "steps" or "journey" leading to the acknowledgment
of the approaching end of all things. "Whispers" represent
doubts and thoughts about the prevalent decadence that is around
and deep within us and "wastefulness" translates to
the imminent, definitive end of all things, to oblivion...The album
is divided into 3 chapters:
I - Oblivious to unknown threat (first signs) Tracks 1 & 2,
II - Acquisition of knowledge (signs) Tracks 3, 4 & 5,
III - Advent of a definitive wastefulness (final signs) Track 6.
NEW RISEN THRONE's latest opus offers a bleak and sorrow filled soundtrack
celebrating death with little hope for rebirth...
This Enhanced CD features an exclusive bonus video clip of the unreleased
track "Unknown (II)".

outdoor field recordings which makes this Northaunt's most haunting
release so far.

GUSTAF
HILDEBRAND "Primordial Resonance" CD (15th Cycle)
Gustaf's
second full lenght is a unique, evolved experience offering you to
embark upon an odyssey through ancient and lifeless surroundings.
Sweeping ambient soundscapes and delicate textures mingle with the
distant shrieks of surreal machinery - conjuring up images of abandoned
and forgotten places, clouded skies and dead cities where time has
been standing still. A captured moment from a strange no man's land
lit by a perpetual gloom, Primordial Resonance is a voyage only limited
by the imagination of the listener.
First 1000 copies come in an oversized fold out cover (A5).
14.00$

VISIONS
"Lapse" CD (14th Cycle)
New
solo work from Frédéric Arbour (Instincts/Longing For
Dawn/Cyclic Law).
This sonic venture takes us on an intense, solemn ambient journey
through the minds eye and beyond. A transcendantal voyage through
thick, droning layers immersed in richly obscure, ever evolving abstract
sonorities fused with mysticaly charged passages, this is a relentless
visionary experience through time and space, to realms beyond our
imagination.
First 1000 copies in Gatefold sleeve.

SVARTSINN
"Traces Of Nothingness" CD (13th Cycle)
The
3rd offering from Norway's Svartsinn could be acknowledged as the
end of a trilogy, the first opus "Devouring Consciousness"
was an album containing stories made during what the artist explains
as being some difficult and rough times. The second offering, "Of
Darkness And Re-Creation", was the process of trying to deal
with these struggles and reflect on them. "Traces Of Nothingness"
is simply the reaction, result and the path ahead in this ongoing,
seemingly endless darkness. A slightly more melodic, sad and obscure
side of Svartsinn that still keeps the cold and dark atmosphere that
defines his sound.
First 1000 copies in special Digipack.

SOPHIA
"Deconstruction
of the world" CD (9th Cycle)
After
the limited edition LP, we can announce the enhanced CD version of
Sophia's 7th opus. This CD features an additional, previously unreleased,
track "Depravity" along with a video clip to accompany this
track. For this album Peter Bjärgö has this time joined
forces with long time friend and Arcana collaborateur Stefan Eriksson
to deliver an outstanding piece of sonic grandeur. Keeping with the
latest elements of the Sophia sound and bringing back some of the
early martial elements with predominant drumming and the addition
of commanding vocal parts, this album is definitely one step above
it's predecessors and reconfirms Sophia's uniqueness. Be prepared
for an intense journey!
First edition of 2000 copies come in an oversized fold out cover (A5).
