Into The Noise Dungeon

The flickering lantern, the last remaining glimmer of light to illuminate these peculiar, impossible, failing, unreasonable, deranged landscapes.... The world is a dead and fractured canvas. An eternal night, festering, gnawing away at the putrescent corpse of a reality that faltered long, long ago.... The hooded figure wanders through this Mephisto-psychedelic-electric night, lantern in hand.... Or is it the lantern itself that commands its bearer, steering him along this eternal path-deroute? It casts its glow upon the colours of a failing fauna and flora.... Remnants of deathly undergrowth in surreaaaaal hues.... Caves encrusted with fuchsia-gold-blackened lichen, poisonous fungi, gnawed bones, spiralling hieroglyphs in a state of abject disarray, oozing unease.... Nobody knows whether this being is the last vestige of a bygone humanity, or whether it is even human at all. It hardly matters. The night delights in parading its luminescent, vertiginous splendours, flaunting its glittering, adulterated horrors, its bloodless disintegration, its tangled mass of roots reshaping an anti-world from the suppurating remains of an age long since extinguished.... A journey to the end of everything, towards the highest peaks of the nonsensical, all the way to celestial rot, that which coos in a tongueless language, folded in upon itself, black and glistening, buried somewhere between the wood shavings of a disembowelled tree and the damp earth, teeming, teeming, grinning. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Ghashbûrz

Ghaashombûrz

Ghaashombûrz is the sonic chronicle of that forgotten empire beneath the stone. Conceived in the very heart of the earth's deepest cavities, this album intertwines field recordings extracted from ancestral crypts with analog soundscapes and sepulchral synthesizers. Each note is a monolith; each silence, a condemnation. You will find no melodies of hope beneath these ceilings of ancient rock. This is the lament of the eternal stone, the roar of the wind trapped within the pits of shadow, and the consecration of an everlasting confinement. Listen to the echo of the underworld and accept your destiny in the darkness. [Subterranean Reward]: Those who support this chronicle and descend into the abyss will permanently unlock an exclusive 6th bonus track: "Bûrzgothal" (The Throne of Everlasting Darkness). [Attention Game Masters / RPG Campaign Use]: Are your players brave enough to face the utter dark? Ghaashombûrz is sonically optimized to serve as the ultimate soundtrack for your tabletop role-playing sessions. These cavernous soundscapes, cold synthesizer drones, and real subterranean echoes will instantly transform any map into a perilous, claustrophobic death trap. Perfect for dark fantasy, horror, and retro systems (Mörk Borg, Old-School Essentials, D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Torchbearer). The age of light has ended. The abyss claims its crown... CREDITS Released October 28, 2026 All soundscapes, atmospheric textures, and sepulchral hymns conjured, performed, and recorded by Ghashbûrz. Subterranean documentaries and authentic cave field recordings captured in the deepest abysses and forgotten crypts. Analog synthesizers, digital synthesizers & keyboards, hardware drones, and iron percussions executed in isolation. Visual artwork, sigils, and photography unearthed by Ghashbûrz. Released under the sign of everlasting darkness. Paris, France. MMXXVI.

demo VI

After the Fall? But what if the decline simply never ceased... You tumble eternally through the strata of anti-worlds, through the soft, sodden flooring of dead leaves, the half-frozen marshlands, the luminous white larvae, the blood-clay-bark-earth, beneath everything, beneath Time itself... And your descent carries on into the infra-worlds, ever colder, ever more illogical, ever more deranged... The tentacular roots, fashioning their own loathsome cosmogonies of pure putrescence, alongside those serrated toads with their acerbic, idiotic stares; drooling potent acids that melt the flesh of anti-mammals, their pelts stripped raw, their yellow eyes gleaming, their external organs tinged a sickly reddish hue... But we have not yet descended deep enough. We must venture further, until we reach another frontier: the stairways of liquefied lichen, interlocked and nested within one another, forming a deranged labyrinth of humus... Where all dead flesh eventually entwines itself into an architecture of moss and toxic vapours...

demo V

Humus. Tumulus. Fauna DISEMBOWELLED. There are dusty spiders breeding in the distance between seconds. There are teeth in the constellations. There is something after eternity. we were wrong about eternity eternity is only the corridor only the corridor only the corridor only the corri— I am the stars but the stars have imploded and I am still here inside their implosion I am still falling inward with them and there is no bottom because the bottom has a mouth because the mouth has another night inside it because night is not night anymore it is an organ it is hungry it is old old old old OLDER THAN GOD'S FIRST ERROR and I can hear the black grass-snakes praying inside my throat and they are using my voice now they are using my teeth now they are saying AFTER ETERNITY THERE IS STILL TIME and IT IS NOT OUR TIME.

The return of this mysterious entity with the third solo offering: a rite of disintegration - seductively frail yet utterly devastating available on UA's bandcamp at: unknownartistbm.bandcamp.com/album/untitled-3 --- "Is it possible that existence is our exile and nothingness our home?" — Emil Cioran I caught a glimpse of the final dream-death. It waited within a forgotten forest whose barren crowns pierced the highest reaches of despair. An amorphous mist drifted between the trees, no longer reflecting anything that had ever possessed a name. Only disappearance. Only the slow privilege of fading alongside the dying elements. The confusion of ash-days. Verdigris mornings. The same exhausted sky unfolding above the same exhausted earth. Loss becoming the last remaining landmark. Those endless solitary walks whose only destination is the absence from which they secretly began. The skeletal trees welcome our already-moribund remains with perfect indifference. For a brief moment... To unexist. To inhabit, with unbearable clarity, the magnificent futility of being. This is the landscape Unknown Artist unveils through another untitled manifestation: a world where dark ambient, black ambient, lo-fi neoclassical elegies, raw black metal, and crushing silence dissolve into one another until they become indistinguishable. Repetitive piano figures seep like infected memories. Distorted textures gather at the edge of perception. Beneath the black earth, buried cries continue their patient liturgy while roots tighten around the wandering soul, drawing it gently downward toward whatever preceded birth. Nothing here seeks consolation. Nothing asks to be understood. Only to accompany you through that strange hour when the world begins forgetting your name... and you quietly begin forgetting that it was ever yours. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Arahant

Demo

Some things were never truly asleep. Arahant emerges without warning, a mysterious new entity inhabiting the obscure frontier where black metal dissolves into noise and noise devours black metal whole. What remains is not merely music, but an infestation. An infamous gaze pierces the fabric of night, laying its countless obscenities across the landscape. Sickly worms of diseased light. Rotten insects swarming the real, their extraterrestrial crackle spreading through the air like a language that has forgotten the purpose of mouths. Somewhere, suffocated amphibian cries struggle beneath a deluge of vomiting feedback while the stars quietly cease being stars. Everything falters. Everything slips. The swamp begins to boil. Alive. Dead. Something in between. Reality itself becomes strangely... approximate.

I write with the dead tree's black sap. I write the tree with its own black blood. The heart is no longer mine. Its sap beats through my branch-veins until the forest flowers inside my skull. -Sir Kuliktavikt

demo IV

Every layer breeds another, each distortion feeding the next until the recording becomes less an arrangement of sound than a living bog of acoustic organisms, blind and patient, digesting everything unfortunate enough to listen. This is not death. Death ended several demos ago. This is what remains after decomposition discovers that it can continue indefinitely. A drowned ecosystem of diseased resonance. An audio marsh where memory, language, and flesh decompose at different speeds. This is the good stuff. -Sir Kuliktavikt

a statement by an undisclosed entity - circlum pravitatis putrida --- The psycho-sensory fog-forest of the Great Old Ones, gravid with reinvented horrors. It calls me. Not loudly. Through the walls. Through the teeth. I made a hole in the canvas. I remember that. Or it made me. The hole breathes now. A thin milk-white mist slips in, cold as surgical glass, licking the corners of my apartment-cell. The walls soften. Damp. Sweet. Rot begins politely, then all at once. Roots arrive like blind fingers, testing, entering, insisting. They know the geometry of my fear better than I do. The hole is in my head. No. The head is in the hole. I am the forest of flayed things. I am bark stretched over absence. I am the hole. I am my head, fallen, gently decomposing on the wet silt floor of a forest that misgrew itself, botanical errors repeating like a stutter in God’s hand. The trees low like cattle with broken throats. The wind does not pass. It roots. It digs in and refuses to leave. Gravestones crack open under the slow hunger of roots, names swallowed, dates chewed into pulp. I was the painter. I think. No. The canvas. No. Inside the canvas, breathing badly, a moribund smear lost in the forest of my dead dreams. The painter is the mist. Of course. It always was. My apartment is a frozen knife. It descends. It plants itself into the floor of me. I feel the blade settle, patient, humming softly as the forest continues to enter. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Death's invitation, a call for eternal bliss

Nothing is known Nothing will ever be known. It ends in a room where the mirror does not reflect, where the bed is made of bone and static, and someone (something) has been waiting under the floorboards of your dreams for so long you now call it you. Death's invitation, a call for eternal bliss

Death's invitation, a call for eternal bliss - Somnambulist echoes by I,Eternal

Like sleepwalking through a mausoleum built from someone else’s memories, Éric Jovet (I,Eternal) drags the recent split of UgUrGkuliktavikt and [unknown artist] through a fevered dream. The original skeletons are dissolved, their bones poured into new molds. UgUrGkuliktavikt’s offering mutates into a demented, prog-psych lullaby — flutes whispering across a mist that never lifts, a cradle swaying in the void. [unknown artist]'s track is torn apart and reassembled as a funereal-ambient-dungeon-doom leviathan: slow, cavernous, suffocating, all hope extinguished. This is not a reinterpretation; it is an exhumation, a transmutation, a phantom graft — and the ghosts are still singing.

visions of atrophy (split)

It descends, and you are carried into worlds older than memory, where rot welcomes you by name, where decay blooms inside your bones, and where nature has been mutilated beyond recognition. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Circle Ov Ghosts

(anti)Music For Mass Extinction

A requiem for everything that once dared to breathe. A choir of rusted sirens, whispering into the vacuum left by vanished suns. Here, melody is a fossil—memory decaying beneath the static of uncreation. The machines hum like dying gods; the winds remember names no one can speak. Beauty still flickers, trembling and emaciated, beneath the ash. It is the final call of an extinct songbird echoing through the circuitry of the end. A lamentation without audience, without hope— and yet, impossibly, still radiant in its despair. (anti)Music For Mass Extinction: not music, but its aftermath. Not life, but the ghost of its resonance. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Basilikum / von jeglichem wort

S/T

I saw mouths opening in the eye of stillborn worlds and they would not close, never, never, they chewed the sky into soot and I swallowed the black soil while it writhed back, whispering names that had no throats left to carry them. I walked too long across the cold embers of YGGdrAKFUllZoBRIMORT, where the trees bend inward like broken ribs and the wind stinks of something that remembers being human but refuses the shape. This split is not music it is a wet incision, Basilikum gnawing at the marrow of silence, von jeglichem wort coughing up hymns that rot before they are born, each note a blister that bursts into smaller blisters that scream in unison, no rhythm, no mercy, just the grinding birth of anti-sound. Carcasses of the real lie split open, seeded with mephistophelic filth, birthing and birthing again, death birthing death birthing death until life crawls out with its teeth already blackened, mouths full of frozen eyes, jaws like machines snapping inside my hollowed cortex. The swamp speaks in white worms, prophecy thick as bile, everything decomposing into something worse, something that laughs with open wounds and reassembles itself only to be unmade again, less human each time, less anything. The Sun howls and melts us into leaking silhouettes. The Moon descends like a fever and drills nightmare-factories into the skull, churning, churning, always churning. I am the decomposition. I am the scalpel stroking the grey pulp of the anti-real. I am born-dead-dead-born-between. -Sir Kuliktavikt
