Rites Of Darkness And Dismal Visions

by Umbrarum Tenebrae

supported by

Vilmund 2020 was the beginning of a new era of my life, after losing my father at the end of 2019 to covid, I also began creating "experimental music" and not until recently when I released my material I found this unholy grail of an album, I quickly purchased it before the first track was even halfway done. To all the dark nights and turbulent futures, Hail the Void, Trauma Curates Creativity -Vilmund Favorite track: The Chaos Principle.

Lost Tribe Sound Been diving in to some of these darker ritual soundscapes lately. Umbrarum Tenebrae stands out with its rich full-bodied production, while still focusing on a minimal sound palette. Sparing use of heavy martial rhythms, macabre atmospherics that don't come off as overly theatrical. Subdued gloom with solid percussion... quality!

about

2020, the world stalled to a halt as a new plague spread it's black infectious veil across the globe. The great majority of souls caved in, hearts heavy with despair and frightened uncertainty. It is in the midst of these somber times that UMBRARUM TENEBRARAE emerged from the shadows. Born of solitude and oppressive gloom to bring forth a new sonic pestilence, Umbrarum Tenebrae seeks not to enlighten the heavily burdened spirits, nor comfort afflicted souls, but to haunt them into further desperation.
Umbrarum Tenebrae does not follow the traditional process of creation but willingly ventures upon new unexplored pathways of musical manifestation; through the use of Chaos Magick. Each song begins with an intent, given meaning as a word, this word is then encrypted to its most basic form and disposed unto a magic square. This initial intent is then transmuted into a Sigil which serves as focal point for every musical creation thereafter. These same worded intentions are also given a placement upon the musical staff to give a musical note. Thus, every song is born of pure chaos. Far from man's instinctive desire to control his creations. Breaking the laws of musical composition and normality.
The result is an eerie soundtrack which builds up discomfort and evokes dreadful visions of invisible horrors and unknown doom. Somber drone wavelength are sowed as chaos seeds awaiting to spawn forth new unnatural life and then covered with layers upon layers of cryptic, ghostly sounds and irrational percussion. The whole possesses a nightmarish aura which will take the listener deep into himself, in those dark and cold recesses of the mind.
The experience is not a pleasant one. It is an exploration of the darker chambers of the unconscious, and Umbrarum Tenebrae is the guide through these haunted halls.
