by insectarium

supported by

PadraigC "Even now in Heaven, there were Angels carrying savage weapons' (The Prophecy) and the painting Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel come to mind when listening to Refugee. It's a very cinematic & evocative release, conjuring extremely powerful imagery for me. A brilliant release throughout, near impossible to pick a favourite track. I'll be listening to this a lot!
Favorite track: the light-bringer.

about

THIS ALBUM WAS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED ON SLITHERING BLACK RECORDS, AND THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES HERE.

The track "from spirit to serpentine form (revenge)" was included on the Hearts of Space program #1358 Darktime Atmospheres:
hos.com/programs/details/1358

Lucifer did not want to be in an angelic herd. An eternity of worshipping God was a form of slavery. It was a dictatorship and Lucifer craved independence.
Lucifer wanted to be treated as an equal. There was a bond between the two which is beyond human understanding. Yet they could not accept each other’s opposing views. God saw Lucifer as a wonderful and powerful being and grew concerned about Lucifer’s influence on the angelic beings.
God attempted to corral Lucifer back into the fold but he failed.
The two met on the edge of existence. As Lucifer approached the edge and looked upon the vast emptiness, God pushed him from the cliff. God told the angels that Lucifer was cast out and to turn away from Lucifer’s ideals.
Lucifer was betrayed and was forced from his domain. He fell into the pit of nothingness, left alone in despair.
God thought he had ridden himself of his adversary. Yet deep in the darkness, Lucifer’s passion began to burn brighter and brighter. Over the eons, Lucifer’s power grew. A third of God’s angelic host took notice, and turned to Lucifer with the desire for their own independence.
As humankind began to take form, Lucifer emerged with a plan to start his revenge.

The Light-bringer lyrics
I am the morning star!
I am the son of the dawn!
I bring light from the darkest reaches of the pit!
I bring enlightenment to the earth!
I bring enlightenment to the hosts of heaven!
Raise my throne above the stars of God!
I will be the Most High!

Vol.1 Dark Ambient
by This Is Darkness

supported by 10 fans who also own “refugee”

❤️My original plan was to go through and buy individual tracks like I do with most compilation albums, but honestly there are just so many good ones that I wound up buying the whole thing. More than simple drones (though there are plenty of those, too), this album collects many of the best and most innovative dark ambient artists in one place, including many who are new to me. A must-have for any dark ambient fan's collection. Plushie Fanatic

Much Unseen Is Also Here
by Lustmord

supported by 10 fans who also own “refugee”

Much Unseen Is Also Here is more than an album; it is a portal to unexplored worlds, a sensory experience that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Divided into three distinctive parts, this album demands total commitment from the listener. It is a deep immersion in a dark and apocalyptic atmosphere, where silence itself seems to teem with latent energy. https://www.versacrum.com/vs/2024/04/lustmord-much-unseen-is-also-here.html Caesar

Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2023
