Lamp Of Darkness

Imagine this set to a Tim Burton direction or Roman Dirge animation. From the quirky grooves of 'Maw', through to the wonderous weaving patterns of 'Tomb', finishing with the sparce melancholic 'Black'; Lamp Of Darkness is a theatrical, poetic, intriguing and melodious musical grimoire. Lo-fi keyboard post-punk, dark jazz cafe noir nuances unfold, with an experimental cabaret outline and eldritch delivery. Those who deep listen will be treated, as more layers and depth appear on further mind opening, listening, hearing and understanding. 'V' and its creating project does not ask for, but rewards attention. Let the Lamp Of Darkness illuminate you with its unique glow. 🕯𑣿✧₊⁺🕯 'My name is Eris (greetings!). Lamp of Darkness is my ongoing solo project. I started LoD in my late teens when I wasn’t able to form a band who would play my songs. The starting sound, heard in the first album, was gothic rock / post-punk? Over the years, my sound began to evolve, inspired by specific periods of classical music, electronic ambient, sword and sorcery, ethnic / folk music, and blues / jazz. The choice of a lo-fi, shoe-string production was deliberate. In a sea of laptop-polished metronomic 0’s, 1’s, and breakdowns, this record has strived to be something different. Sonically, this is a phantom hand, steering metallic and dark music to seldom charted waters. Primitive on the surface, perhaps it is; but it is honest and human in its grime and grit. Lyrically, “V” is a narrative poetry record, especially in the second half. Since the third album, a conceptual world began to form, inhabited by characters whose stories became songs.' 🕯𑣿✧₊⁺🕯 Dive deeper into the precursive stories; pick up one of the limited edition DIY CDs... A conjuration of ruinous riffs, macabre marches, and the occasional cursed canvas. lampofdarkness.bandcamp.com 🕯𑣿✧₊⁺🕯 No videos for Lamp Of Darkness - Coconut Massacre album video below as a recommendation for those who enjoy 'V'.

"You know those dreams where you're falling, and you suddenly wake up? Well, 'Inaspettati momenti di rabbia euforica' ('Unexpected moments of euphoric anger') is kind of like that, except you wake up and it's all real. And while you're falling, you relive your whole life in just over 20 minutes, and you think that, upside down like that, you really can't make sense of anything, but it's got its own weird charm, you know? Especially that part where you're getting ready for bed, brushing your teeth, but the hands aren't yours. And neither are the teeth. It's probably someone else, but you've already reached the end without even realizing it." FFO: nice people making horrible music, not vice versa. Destroy music or die trying Recorded (in three hours) in November 2023 Released November 14, 2025 ---------- Elastic Riot are back (for another Owlripper release), yet further away from this planet than ever!

The Owl

Sounds dedicated to the season, its colours and patterns, and the way it all helps, supports and promotes deep thought, wonder, reflection, magic and calm. My appreciation and love for Winter has grown in the last few years, but it goes hand-in-hand with my life situations and surroundings these days also. I am immensely lucky, being where I am, on all levels and dimensions. Continuing to try, to understand, to justify my place in this vast infinite universe. Thank you for being here, in spirit and in time. 1. Open the gate / Wind in the trees 2. The lucky man finds his angel 3. Wrapped in a blanket in front of an open fire when it is -15 outside 4. Icicles 5. Song for the deers in the snow 6. Stare into the forest and breathe deep Made with synth and voice & cabin and forest recordings between December 5th 2024 and February 22nd 2025 released March 5, 2025 mfcd013 Cover (and additional) photos taken in Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem in December 2023 The Owl (Orlová, Czech) Learning about everything in the cosmos through sound and visual experiments; as The Owl since 2018. theowl.bandcamp.com (160+ release discography)

fragile as glass

fragile as glass returns to the cabin, with a huge piece of music, an accompanying roleplay game and story, a remix and extra imagery to help immerse, deep listen and play along. ❅ ❆ ❃ ❊ ❉ "A deeper chill settled in the wake of that impossible light. Not just on my skin, but in my thoughts. The memory of real warmth - a summer breeze, a shared touch, the sun’s true embrace - feels like a dream now. Fragile. Distant. And the silence. Always the silence. Not just quiet, no. It’s a vast, watchful presence, pressing in from every direction. A massive, invisible predator in the desolate air. Even here, in this profound emptiness, a delicate purpose stirs. A fragile thread of hope, woven through every step. I carry a fragment of what was, a vital understanding. It must not perish. It is for those who might one day build anew, a testament whispered across the ice." ❅ ❆ ❃ ❊ ❉ About the game in the download: "Echoes from the Frost" is a solo journaling roleplaying game played over 12 turns, representing a year in the frozen wastes, using your imagination, three six-sided die, and a journal. This immersive journey is designed to be played with the evocative soundtrack created by fragile as glass, an integral part of shaping the game's desolate beauty, quiet hope, and chilling mystery.

The Owl

Growing up in a late 70s, early 80s Leeds town, in a small brutalism-inspired concrete maisonette, the style was bound to have an influence on my life, my thoughts, my understanding of society and perception of myself within the larger whole. This was an incredibly interesting concept for me to focus close to, and helped vastly expand my intrigue and enjoyment of brutalism. All tracks are named after buildings in the brutalism style, except for 'Brutalismus' itself. 1. Palace Of Rituals 2. Madonna delle Lacrime 3. Cosenza 4. Brutalismus 5. Kosmaj Spomenik 6. Илинден 7. Centro de Exposições 8. Nakagin Capsule 9. Ryugyong 10. Habitat 67 11. Les Arènes de Picasso at Noisy-le-Grand 12. Two days in the Pilgrimage Church 13. Casa Sperimentale The term "brutalism" comes from the French phrase "béton brut" meaning "raw concrete". I hope that the sounds reflect well and do the subject matter justice. Made between April 3rd and November 17th 2025 Released December 8, 2025 In the download is all the imagery related to the release, including pictures for every track, and the video for 'Brutalismus'.

The Owl

It's really interesting to initially observe and then to hear back the journey your mind can take you on, when you let it control your body, to then set free sounds, created as the collective whole. 1. Hear ye, the beautiful storms approach 2. Pulled forwards through time 3. To a safe land when nothing makes sense (and it is glorious) 4. At the entrance of Garuda 5. Discovering levels of wisdom that didn't exist before... 6. Picture storms - Being, onwards and upwards Blanka is my muse. She constantly unlocks parts of my brain I didn't know I could aim for. She 'inspired zen noise grooves', this rehearsal space recording. Putting my brain into gear, about improvisace in music, to put self into motion, to help better survive life; skills to learn, to endlessly inspect and progress, as a person, aiming to understand every other person. All tunes and loops are improvised in between times at two Picture Storms rehearsals on Klub Futra stage, Orlová, Cz October 5 & 6, 2025. Photos, cover image, titles, notes and words, made between 7.10.2025 and release date 29.11.25 A few modifications and expansions to sounds happened afterwards, to align with what was also going on in the mind at the same time. I hope the additional twists aid some otherplanetarydimensionaltravel times for you. -made+with- bass+pedals+cab+amp+ doom+drone+riffs+loops+voice+ zoom+laptop+wavepad+reaper+ drum moments from Blanka. ❤︎ Thank you for being here.
