Release Notes:
--------------
Davide Del Col has been working in the specific and uncompromising ritual dark
ambient genre since the end of the 90s, this firstly under the moniker of
Ornament for a couple of very rare limited editions then as Antikatechon which
now represents the highlight of his artistic and stylistic creativity. A first
full length album has been published on Silentes Minimal Editions back in 2011,
this one provides a very accomplished effort in the realms of hauntingly dark
ambient music with a touch of melancholic-spiritual inflected nihilism. Signed
on Rage in Eden, "Chrisma Crucifixorum" is an other eloquent and complex
release which oscillates between stately gazing drone sequences and original
audio treatments, the whole thing surrounded by a sacral aura. 2013 saw the
rise of a collaborative effort with the pioneering ethno-noise ambient act Nimh,
also from Italy. This musical meeting gave birth to a passionate and typical
dark ambient offering. The conceptual-visual background is connected to the
visions and powerful painting works of Goya. Davide Del Col presents here his
new catchy electronic dark ambient release entitled "Woe is the Reward",
welcomed by Rage in Eden Records. A tremendous, entrancing and blasting dark
ambient odyssey full of majestic sound sculptures, huge resonances, bleak noises,
metallic reverbs and many more. This sonic, soundtracky and "acoustically
haunted" ambient symphony will totally enthrall and ravish the listener.
Be prepared to this intense sonorous adventure. -- Philippe Blache
