Release Notes:
--------------
"With a firm rattling sound an ice plateau is splitting with its resonance
resounding in the ice cold ocean. The cold sound moves through the deep
dark waters. K100 starts its arctic journey through glacial fields of
desolate darkness. Impenetrable soundscapes of deep rumbling drones and
shattering metal plates. This distant music of ghost frequencies is an
intense experience taking you to abandoned places where time stood still,
where a lonely factory ruin stands in the middle of bare landscape with
the wind scourging the walls and whistling through its broken windows.
Titles such as ôno Lightö, ôWinters in the Makingö and ôAssembled from
Shadowö just say it all. The Vault of Apparition is a sonic journey
through deep cold nights with a threatening atmosphere.
K100 is a project by designer Kim Solve from Trine and Kim design studio
who did design sleeves for Darkthrone, Ulver, Arcturus and many more.
Being inspired by the Nordic seasons, personal experiences and abandoned
places he created these dark ambient tracks crawling underneath the skin
with unhealthy pleasure. The sounds are cold and bare making you shiver.
Glacial sound plateaus are moving slowly piercing the night. Deep rumbling
of strings and squeaking metallic sounds bound by drones create an uncanny
atmosphere. Some others are more industrial in approach with a machine like
cadence and scraping metal like in ôFevered and Childlikeö. Most tracks are
quite short, something you wonÆt notice while they go into each other to
continue the atmosphere. Sometimes it feels like you are at the middle of
this icy world, sometimes it is like deep down beneath its icy surface.
The Vault of Apparitions is a fine ambient album to satisfy ambient lovers
who like it deep and dark.
