about

A conceptual album by Holmur on Omnicore Records. This is Boreal Ambient at its best! Dark, brooding drones, pads, sounds, at times beatless, emitting a sense of horror, dread, mental terror.
You feel as if you were actually standing in an arctic region, in dark but star filled night, with the northern light glowing far above at the boundary between earth and the space beyond, feeling the freezing, cold taste of the air around you.

Being a conceptual album, this release follows a story, which is told (or rather, hinted at) in various "Logbog" entries that are interlaced with the regular tracks.
But it's not just "dark ambient drones" on this album; there are elements of Jazz, Techno, Dub, Downbeat, and other Electronica, too, submerged within the sonic architecture.

Dare we say that inspiration by such classic releases as Biosphere's Patashnik, Alec Empire's Low On Ice, or Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works can be found here?
So get into the cold and grim northern night, follow a disturbing and twisted story, and have a listen to this release.
