[Eg0_071] Gutterhulk – Path of Ascension (EP)

Posted by eg0cide on

Path of Ascension is a follow-up to the acclaimed Great Stewardship, an imaginary soundtrack by Gutterhulk.
“Path of Ascension” picks up where “Great Stewardship” left off, this time focusing on soundscapes rather than story-telling. This album is a small collection of enchanting ritual ambient pieces that continue the story told in “Great Stewardship” and which should please all dark ambient and video game enthusiasts, especially those of the Thief franchise.

We don’t know who Gutterhulk is, we have just been told he is a member of the Nakrikal Records team.

Artwork was created by Eddi van W.

[Eg0_066] Eurovision über Alles : The Soundtrack

Posted by eg0cide on

The use of samples from movies is quite common in industrial / dark ambient – it even become a cliché. Eurovision über Alles (a side project of french one-man project Sobria Ebrietas ) also use samples , many samples, in this soundtrack without a movie – but in a very different way, radical, orginal. A kind of IDN (Intelligent Dramatic Noise) for sick minds?

[Eg0_065] Norss : Alleen

Posted by eg0cide on

Norss was a dark ambient / drone / noise project active in 2008-2009, who released limited CD-R on various labels, most of them being now out of print. Eg0cide always thought that many of them deserve a second “digital” life.  We agreed with Norss that the album “Alleen” was one of his best works – so we are glad to re-release these utterly dark minimal drones.

re-release notes by Norss :  “Alleen was originally released on CDR in a run of 20 copies. All tracks were recorded in 2008 and represent a powerful moment in the life of Norss.”

Norss later became Ulv (2010-2011) and released the Hypnoottinen  CDR on eg0cide (a few copies are still available from us)

You can hear other old works from Norss & Ulv (as well as new projects) on his recently created netlabel Hypnagogik 

[Eg0_064] Ayato & Kecap Tuyul : waiting for the shaman

Posted by eg0cide on

Waiting for the shaman is the latest collaborative album of Ayato & Kecap Tuyul, once more based on guitars sounds, but featurng also bass, flute, synth, tr606, voice, vinyl, and also  some strings sounds provided by Kecap Tilil (Kecap Tuyul’s partner in band Pura Sombar) on 2 tracks.

This new work is as hard to describe as their previous album when we talk about love and happiness , but Waiting for the Shaman one has longer tracks, is more droney – although somewhat rough & gritty sometimes, between dark psychedelia and weird ritual invocations.

[Eg0_063] EugeneKha : Maracoon

Posted by eg0cide on

With Maracoon, Russian multimedia artist EugenKha delivers us  colourful and rich soundscapes that mixes synthetic sounds and field recording, a very interesting crossing between ambient and electroacoustic music. We have been impressed by this album, and we are even more when we consider that it was recorded live.
