Later on, we get slurred & forlorn marching synth meets dramatic ritual clanging and creepy crashing water field recordings of “Pacts Of Stone and The Sun”. Onto the epic & glorious creepy crypt like atmops of “He Who Drinks The Light From The Stars”- which starts with a blend slow & circling pipe organ melody, rushing wind field records, strangely muffled voices & bleak hit percussive tolls- in the second half this wonderful unsettling addition of wavering electro pitches are added along with more creepy flotsam & jetsam- all to create such a chilling atmosphere it almost induces a shudder & a quick look over the shoulder. The album moves from the darkly lulling & eerier “Facing the Exarchs of Desolation”- which brings together slurred warbling synth harmonics, simmering & desolate drone drifts, and subtle tolling ritual tones. The nine-track album runs for spot on forty-eight minutes- with each of the tracks running between one & a half, and nearing nine minutes a piece. Last year saw the project releasing Catacomb Resonator, their first output in five years up to that point- the album featured a single slice of building-then-receding ritual ambience- it was just ok, but ultimately a bit of a letdown…so when I saw a new Arktau Eos album was appearing, I was both pleased & a little apprehensive. Since these initial releases, the project has put out four full-lengths, with each really pushing forward their darkly tinged & occultic ambient sound. And Scorpion Milk- a single forty eight minute release, that saw the project at their most pared-back- bringing together sparse ritual ambience with moments of eerier reverb & dread filled silence. The Arktau Eos project began in 2005- putting out their first two releases in 2006- Mirrorion- a classic & at times otherworldly 70-minute journey into pitch black ritual ambience.

Here’s Eremos- a new full length nine track releases from dark ambient & occult music two piece Arktau Eos- it finds the mysterious Finish duo back on good form offering up a mostly consistent release that moves between & melds sinister retro electronic texturing, gloomy & dread filled ritual music, with brooding ceremonial organ simmers, and fleeting/ eerier field recordings.

Azoetia is comprised of three main parts: an exposition of preliminary magico-aesthetic formulae with detailed descriptions of working tools the full text of the Sabbatic Rituals of Ingress, Congress, and Egress and an eleven-chaptered Grimoirium detailing the arcana and composite practices of the Sacred Alphabet - the twenty-two lettered code of sorcerous principles underlying the practical spectrum of the Arte Magical. Originally published by Xoanon in 1992, Azoetia or 'The Book of the Magical Quintessence' has become one of the most sought-after new magical works of our time and may be regarded as the foundation text of the Sabbatic Craft Tradition in its present phase of work.
This copy being the Sethos standard edition limited to 484 copies all hand numbered. It is a record in which to immerse one’s self over time, containing more than two years' worth of strange experiences and sensations distilled into a curious, potent elixir, the use of which may in its truest sense be determined only by the individual listener. Created primarily on acoustic instruments, organs and harmonium, carefully mastered on vintage tape, the sound is equally earthy as it is otherworldly – a contradiction in terms maybe, but then Ai Ma Ra is not classified easily in any other respect either. More than music, it is 'ethnography of the unknown' in action, providing vistas into rarely glimpsed corners of reality. Ai Ma Ra is a monumental album containing over 105 minutes of experimental elemental and ambient music, original in the literal sense of the word.
