The Nacrasti

by R|A|A|N

KlickKid 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.

Onyx
by Apocryphos, Kammarheit, Atrium Carceri

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Nacrasti”

Everything I love about dark ambient can be found in this album. So soft and resonant at times, with touches of prominent instrumentation to call you back in, Onyx is just...relaxing and beautiful and dark. The titular track, Onyx, even has echoes of Alan Parson's Project's Edgar Alan Poe album. Not sure if this was intentional, but it was still surprising yet wonderfully executed. I'd actually enjoy more ambient with this throwback feel. CyhAnide
