Cody Drasser No lengthy or descriptive comment here, but what I'll say is that this is simply one of the most amazing dark ambient records. Ever. Not only just for Malignant, but for all of humanity. This is some of the most beautiful, haunted, deep and ancient sounding music I've ever had the pleasure to experience. A masterpiece since I first heard it upon release.

Juraku I brought this over 10 year's ago. And yes, I love it that much have brought it again for those long ,boring journey's to work.
A timeless masterpiece of Dark Ambience Favorite track: Lilin.

Peregrinatur Dark, but only because of the alienation you feel to the world that is laid out before you. Images of what could be collide with what should be. Familiar sounds creating an unfamiliar landscape - brilliant.

christian szabo Another classic that I've found on Bandcamp, so I happily bought it here as well. RAAN set the bar high with this a long time ago. It still represents the best of the genre. The tracks "The Arrival of the Sek" and "Lilin", for example, are just glorious.

about

The remarkable debut from R|A|A|N (Stig Berg) and the second release on our sister-label Malignant Antibody. R|A|A|N delivers dark-ambient in it's classic pure-form, at times, conjuring the spirit of Heresy-era Lustmord or vintage Raison D'Etre. Heavy ritualistic drones, sporadic rhythmic accents, and deep sub-sonics that will vibrate your very core. An ideal blend of thick warm analog and sharp digital sound that bridges the gap between old and new technology. Thematically, The Nacrasti explores an ancient desert culture that was advanced beyond its time and yet long forgotten by history. Your dark evolving journey into this lost "Nacrastan" landscape is streaked with the warm hue of sun-bleached rock, sand, gold, and fire. A serenely brooding work with a myriad of nocturnal sub-textures. At times a subtle, almost alien combination of sounds. Proof-positive that dark-drones can intone an element of beauty and power. A very promising debut from an equally promising new talent. An album that will leave you excited for what comes next and a critical new addition to every dark-ambient collection.
