Towards a Bleak Sun

raulmori No light at all. Absolute darkness. Loneliness tomb. Poisoned misty. Awesome work. Favorite track: Burial of the Sun.

Lost Tribe Sound There is barely anything to hang on to on the way down, just a continuous flow of deep low-end drones carving trenches in back of your skull. Seriously healing stuff.

about

Ancient Egypt inspired, monolithic drone/dark ambient. Mesektet creates rumbling earth drones that echo through caverns and temples. Vast swathes of ominous drones, primordial vibrations, and ceremonial ambience take you on an immersive journey to the Netherworld.

The name ‘Mesektet’ comes from one of the two boats which the Egyptian solar deity Ra travelled in: Mandjet was his ‘morning boat’, and Mesektet the ‘evening boat’. Ra used Mesektet as a boat to travel back to the Netherworld from a long day of shining.
The deity’s travels were an inspiration for the essence and rich sound of “Towards a Bleak Sun”. Six lengthy tracks (46 minutes) composed as a soundtrack for the deep pyramids and long travels to the Netherworld.

Sanctum

I adore Cryo Chamber and out of all the collaborators under the label, my most admired group is Metatron Omega. Every single album carries their unique mystic and thought evoking, monastic soundscape that elevates me to a higher realm. The "Sanctum" album, in particular, is the one I find the most astounding. theeverwanderer
