"Another brilliant release from the Sombre Soniks label...A mystical and mystifying release from a very talented duo, definitely recommended..."
- Merchants Of Air

"Through the warm sound and the flowing movement, the album is reminiscent of a dream sequence, but to be lulled by it would be a path that leads to emptiness - only by a certain concentration can one advance into the deeper layers of the music and the words..."
- African Paper

February sees thee first in a two part series from Temple Music for Sombre Soniks featuring recent studio rekreations of past performances using thee notes kreated for each specifik event.

From thee Artist: 
“The plan for each performance, as given to the performers, has a dynamic/modal road map (certainly nothing as sophisticated as a score). Because the pieces are so specific to both time and place, I decided that choosing four from four seasons should flow together to make one long, connected piece. These are the first two parts.”

From thee Artist: “For this album, I wanted to do things differently, something other than once again producing something called the 'Misantronics sound’. These tracks were written, programmed, mixed and recorded when friends came over. I rarely asked them to cooperate but I allowed them to interfere one way or another."

[ówt krì] & Fecal Fetal - Misanthropy VI
Sombre Soniks is happy to present a strong kollaboration between two Finnish Artists, [ówt krì] and Fecal Fetal.

From thee Artists: “The collaboration between [ówt krì] and Fecal Fetal started over half a decade ago, but work on Misantropy VI did not start until late 2012. This collaboration brings forth a noisier side to Fecal Fetal and more raw darkness from [ówt krì]. The music is a combination of the darkness, mysticism and insanity in the form of sounds and invocations."

From thee Artists: 
"Sound artists Yumi Hara Cawkwell and Guy Harries work as a duo, creating ‘sonic rituals’. Using voices, found objects, electronic processing, field recordings, and nonlinear synthesizers, the duo’s performances unfold through a process of improvisation. The structure of the performances, which is never premeditated, is inspired by the concept of ritual, imbued with intent and a sense of inevitability, yet allowing for risk and unpredictability to lead the scenario in new directions."

Druhá Smrt - Into Further Intensity


Sombre Soniks is very excited to announce thee release of thee debut film work from Druhá Smrt via our YouTube channel! This was kreated as part of an 'Autumnal Rite' that they recently performed...
From thee artist:
"There are places in the mundane space where still dwells the lost soul of the world, forgotten places where abandoned things penetrated and coalesced with devastated nature. These sources of our under/standing must be opened by accordingly ritualistic approach. It is necessary to shift the perception to deeper perspective, to try to achieve greater intensity of acceptance also hidden and forbidden empathy with this 'fallen' reality. Such a process can also open further paths leading through Eschaton."
'Hands From Shadows' Charity Kompilation

My good friend Timur (of Tamerlan) kontakted me this morning to ask if Sombre Soniks would host a charity kompilation he wishes to put together to aid those that have suffered during thee recent floods in Serbia...We have, of kourse, agreed to help with this kause that is very klose to his heart...

From Timur:
"My friends, some of you might be well aware of the situation in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia, with the tragedies caused by the severe floods. Dozens of lives have been lost while tens of thousands of people were forced to be evacuated from their homes. Serbia is the country which I called home for the biggest part of my life, and I can not feel at peace when I see what is going on there... 

For this reason, I have decided to start a charity compilation, which will hopefully provide some relief to those in need. The compilation called "Hands From Shadows" will be released in cooperation with Sombre Soniks Studios on 23rd of June. I therefore call for all musicians, bands and projects within dark ambient, neofolk, neoclassical, industrial, gothic, experimental and similar genres, who would like to participate and support this compilation to get in touch through this email:
hfs@sombresoniks.com

The song doesn't need to be exclusive (can be anything from the previous material), but please make sure to submit everything until the 11th of June. Please share the news and get in touch.
Thank you."

More details will be added soon...

raxil4
Vintage electronic dronescapes from one of Leicester's forgotten sons...
raxil4's dark brooding dronescapes combine analog and digital sound sources, including field recordings, detuned radios, analogue televisions, computers, turntables, CD & mp3 players, tape recorders, 8-bit gameboys, handmade electronic devices, broken vintage equipment and handmade sculptural instruments (made from mainly found materials such as hospital crutches, driftwood and bones reclaimed from the River Thames).
His works have been broadcast on terrestrial and internet radio, been featured on film soundtracks and have been exhibited in art galleries, in the United Kingdom, Europe, America and Canada.
He has collaborated with musicians, poets, performance artists, sound artists and visual artists. He has performed many improvised concerts solo, duo, trio or as part of a large scale ensemble. Occassionally he sings with a Blues band.

https://www.facebook.com/raxil4

Seesar 
The Seesar project constructs dark ambient soundscapes using unnamable timbres and demented, uncanny rhythms and melodies to evoke the fear and dread expressed within the works of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors of Mythos fiction. In part, Seesar accomplishes this realization of darkness by performing on scrap metal, turning household items into musical instruments, and building new noise-making devices to generate unique sonic additions. Employing textures provided by the inclusion of traditional musical instruments from various cultures from around the World are also part of Seesar’s music, further removing the listeners’ familiarity and expectations and thus deepening the connection to the unknown. 

For this event Seesar will be performing a piece dedikated to thee great Cthulhu once more!

http://willconnor.co.uk/

Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule
Orryelle will be performing a number of songs relating to his new book ‘Time, Fate and Spider Magic’ (Avalonia Press June 2014), including a live audio adaptation of the semi-channeled ‘Book of the Spider’, using violin, voice and FX pedals to craft a web of wyrd words and sounds, with Tegan Gigante dancing the Spider-Goddess and Priapus23 (of Akoustik Timbre Frequency) accompanying on singing bowls and percussion.
There will also be an invocation of Kali-Ma as Hindu arachnean archetype and Her consort MahaKala, the black God of Time. 
Layers of looped mantras and harmonic chanting will be interwoven with eastern and western violin melodies and semi-sung poetry to evoke deities of time, of fate, of music (Ancient Egyptian Ihy) and of memory; culminating with an invocation of Baphomet presiding over this PanDaemonAeon.
There will be accompanying projections of related video from the Metamorphic Ritual Theatre archives and images of Orryelle’s paintings and sculpture. The performance will be partially pre-determined and partially improvisational in nature.

Orryelle is an esoteric artist in many media including painting, writing, sculpture, sound and performance.
He is the director of Australian-based Metamorphic Ritual Theatre Company, author of the Tela Quardrivium book-web (publ. Fulgur Limited)and often exhibits and performs internationally. 
His work engages with connecting the subconscious and conscious through employment of magical 
and mythical symbols and archetypes.
He is part of the vanguard of the current resurgence in esoteric arts balanced between the conceptual and the aesthetic.

Akoustik Timbre Frekuency utilises a variety of Ritual Instruments inkluding singing bowls, rain sticks, Tibetan horns, aura chimes, shamanik rattles as well as synthesised sounds to kreate trance-augmenting bakground atmospheriks for Ritual usage. Kompositions have been kreated using field rekordings from lokations ranging from treetops to sewers, from nature parks to pubs on a Friday night... 

ATF will be performing a Blood Rite for this event, which will fokus on thee Intent to "bring some Strukture to my Perceived Reality...To regain a Balance of Force and Form."

Out NOW on Sombre Soniks:
Druhá Smrt - Ukhulth!


From thee DBL interview with Druhá Smrt:
"This ritual is not an attempt of evokation, but really is invokation. What is in ourselves, our deepest buried Id-Entity, which is not as simple as superficial Ego. What is different - otherness, and what we fear most... is our hidden self. Dark One, who dwells forgotten in the kingdom of the dead, in the realm of dreams and visions. If we want to achieve wholeness and walk to the path on permanent transformation (which is individuation), we must wake up what is dead in us. Only then we can achieve it all, together with what we have forgotten and lost. It is again an eschatonickal ritual (like Druhá Smrt muzik is) because it is about our Dark Self, risen from the alleged grave, which will lead us in the paths of the future - through the time of the end - and maybe out of time..."

This is a Pro CDr release in a high quality gatefold kard sleeve format with a silk, matte printed kover and an 8pp full kolour gloss printed and stapled booklet, limited to 150 kopies.

FINAL DAY of thee pre-order for thee first CD release from Sombre Soniks and to be able to download thee extra bonus komposition 'Foreshadow'!

This is to be konsidered a prequel to Ukhulth although it was kreated after thee main Work.

In thee words of Druhá Smrt: "This became a part of 'Ukhulth' after we realised that it brought us back to the same state as the aforementioned Ritual. It filled me with emotion to return to this with a feeling of a premonition: a Time Paradox".

It will be streamed live on uStream and will be rekorded for a future release with thee label. This is to mark thee new signing of Melankolia to thee label.

Dark Ambient vol. 6:
Some of thee Sombre Soniks artists have already started work on this, but I will be announcing thee theme and opening submissions on thee 23rd July!

Thee 23 Sessions:
You may have already heard some of these when they were featured on Ghost Box Radio. I have been awaiting for a suitable idea to hit me for these and it has...I will be releasing thee whole series (some of which have not been heard yet!) as a tape set, one Session at a time. This is being kreated in partnership with Cursed Tapes and thee first Session has already been sent off (from Babalith).

CD Releases:
I will be adding pre-orders for thee first two CDs on Sombre Soniks in thee near future:- thee new unreleased Ritual Work from Druhá Smrt entitled 'Ukhulth' and a remastered version of Hoyland's 'Dreams Within A Dream' with some bonus unreleased kompositions (both are to be mastered by Sombre Soniks). Thee pre-orders will also kome with some bonus material, which I reveal kloser to thee time...

Thee Permutations Series:
Inspired by Brion Gysin and his 'Permutation Poems', this will be a new series of releases from Sombre Soniks, featuring two artists from thee label working together to kreate something that neither would usually kreate on their own. Thee Permutation of styles and genres to kreate something New. Thee first round of Permutations will feature: Backyard Ghost & dead.circuit, Fecal Fetal & Hoyland, Babalith & IA, Grist + Plaguewielder, Alchemist + ...the spirit dies and a rather interesting and exciting Ritual kollaboration between Akoustik Timbre Frekuency, Druhá Smrt & Viginti Tres Saecula!

Rostered artist Akoustik Timbre Frekuency (that would be me) has two upkoming shows! Thee first will be at Mother Live (333 Old Street, Shoreditch, UK) on thee 23rd August where there will be a solo performance and I will also support Orryelle as part of a bakking band for thee evening (a third artist to be konfirmed). I have also been asked to perform at an all day festival iat thee Brixton Windmill, UK on thee 2nd September. I kan't reveal anything for this yet as it is still being sorted out, but thee line up is very exciting indeed!

Rostered artist Colossloth will be performing at thee Paradox festival this year!

Thee organisers say of Colossloth:
"I can say nothing better about Colossloth than every time I listen to them, they transport me to another place, and for that duration time is suspended and I am totally subsumed in their sonic world. That doesn’t happen often, I can assure you. Treading a musical line somewhere between Coil, Black Sabbath, and Future Sound of London, atmosphere is high and darkness is intense. Check their current album ‘Butterflies are witches’, currently receiving rave reviews by all who hear it…"

Rostered artists Akoustik Timbre Frekuency has kollaborated with James BL Hollands to kreate a soundtrak for James' latest visual work entitled 'Into The Silence'.


From thee visual artist:
"Using footage from J.B.L. Noel's "Epic of Everest", J.B.L. Hollands finds correlations between not only the initials of the filmmaker, but with his work. Re-editing Noel's footage of George Mallory's fatal Everest expedition of 1924, Hollands resamples his own past audio work, to create a vision of artistic work as doomed failure,
while Akoustik Timbre Frekuency add :Tibetan horns, tikgsha, singing bowls, bells, gong and shamanik rattle to echo the first performances of this film, which were have a "total" cinematic experience, as Noel had arranged for 7 Tibetan monks from Gyantse to perform with it.The Tibetan government subsequently lodged an official diplomatic protest, an affair which became known as the "Affair of the Dancing Lamas". It had profound and lasting political consequences, undercutting the reforms of the 13th Dalai Lama, which politically weakened Tibet against the invasion of the Chinese, and led to the problems Tibet has suffered ever since.
For this screening, Akoustik Timbre Frekuency will be providing a recorded track not a live performance."

Thee first skreening will be at thee Retina in the Mind's Eye event at thee Modern Jago venue in Shoreditch on 30th January, also featuring Bioni Samp & Stephen Thrower, Letraruido & Tom Webster, Andrea Ruffino & Rebecca Salvadori and many more!
