I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I knew that one day, Sombre Soniks would release an album that would be indistinguishable from some of those dark ambient classics, released by labels like Cold Meat Industry, Cyclic Law or Cold Spring. See, even the world of dark ambient has its underground and its mainstream. Acts like Inade, Svartsinn and Lustmord are well known among all dark ambient fans, but the scene goes deeper than that, a lot deeper. Druhá Smrt might not be known to most of them, but put this album in a playlist with all their favorites and they would not be able to pick it out. Why? Because it's a perfect dark ambient album.
'The Way And The Virtue' consists of two tracks, 'The Way' and 'The Virtue'. Each track is fifteen minutes and thirty seconds long, thus providing you with a total of 31 minutes of sheer dark ambient bliss. The previously mentioned acts regularly come to mind, along with acts like Predominance, Raison d'être and Desiderii Marginis, to name a few. Yes, that means soundscapes, haunting drones and minimal percussion. That also means a hypnotic sonic journey into the darkest regions of your own inner being, which can never be a bad thing.
So yes, this album comes extremely recommended to all dark ambient fans. Druhá Smrt have been perfecting their trade for years and now it results in their most epic work so far. My advice: purchase the album, close the curtains, light a candle, play this at high volume and start meditating. You will envision things you have never imagined, see worlds you never dreamed of, or just gently float on these breathtaking soundscapes. Whatever happens, it will be worth it...
