dark ambient
We cannot deny that dark ambient has a connection and roots with black metal. A good example is the Portuguese dark ambient project Sílení. Valter Abreu was the artist behind the one-man progressive black metal band Necromanther. Nowadays he releases under the name Sílení an interesting combination between ambient and pure cinematographic passages from the darker side of the musical spectrum.
Sílení continues further to create eerie worlds of murky and mystical sound structures. He already drew attention with his previous album Long Forgotten Bowers (on Eight Tower Records) and with contributions on the mind blowing compilations of Zero K and Eight Tower Records. Once you step into the world of Sílení the sonic landscapes will take you beyond dark ambient standards. Every track contains stunning haunting sounds that evoke thoughts of desolation and decay. The nine tracks are fine tuned with all kinds of effects and background sounds (wind, piano, industrial shards) which enhance the enigmatic atmosphere of this album.
All Heavens Rejoice is a digital and physical (CD) release on the Noctivagant Records label from Albuquerque New Mexico (United States Of America). The label is also aimed at the more obscure and darker genres of music. Sílení presents a splendid dark ambient piece featuring guests like Uzbazur, Moloch Conspiracy and Xerxes The Dark. All Heavens Rejoice was released at the end of May 2020. We couldn’t let this supreme dark ambient recording be floating around in oblivion forever. Dark ambient fans will dig this release.
