SVARTSINN

” Traces of Nothingness”
Label: CYCLIC LAW
Official Website
(3.5/5)

This is the third release from the dark ambient artist “Svartsinn” and according to the their label, Cyclic Law, the end of a trilogy. I haven’t had the opportunity to hear Svartsinn’s two previous releases but even when coming in on the end of a three part act, this CD is still very effective. Dark sustained tones, minimalistic melodies and an abundance of atmospheric sounds sum of the general ambiance of this release. As a disturbingly calm yet gloomy soundtrack to a dark and stormy evening in the home this really hits the spot. Production-wise the disc is spot on. The packaging (I received the digipak), while minimalistic like the music, looks fantastic and fits well with the themes heard on the CD. Stand out tracks: “Traces of Nothingness” and “Lost in Reveries”.
