Second demo from this one man band - lengthy tracks as in the first one ( "Sanity Collapsing" ), a little more complex but with the same dark vibes and occasional industrial touches. Another good release in the Depressive/Ambient Black Metal genre!

Third release of this one man band from Spain - mostly mid tempo arrangements dominated by bizarre synth drones & plenty of acoustic instruments. Highly experimental and based on the music of civilizations that most of them are long lost but never the less a very interesting album!

Way more primitive and raw than their other releases, only a few ambient elements present here... Mostly mid tempo arrangements,the standard growling voices and a really lo-fi production add to the package... Kult!

A release that keeps haunting us for a while now - not the every day type of listen but for these dark and gloomy moments of ours... As the artists describe it "a journey from the surface of the sea to the very depths of the ocean, and then back towards the surface again" or as we describe it "a trip into the abyss and back"!

A real masterpiece from this one man band - Nimosh who is behind Nordlicht also runs Kunsthall Produktionen label along with Wintherr from Paysage d'Hiver. Heavy distorted guitars,extremely low vocals and some keyboards buried in the background blend altogether to make a great album! You can also hear a preview ("Winterweg", best song of the album) in the Box widget.

A compilation containing 2003's "Music for Falling Buildings" and 2004's "Red Steeples" demos - roughly described as hypnotic Black Metal but yet so much more... Mysterious dark textures,weird yet melodic passages & muddy vocals altogether blend to make probably the best "trip" soundtrack! Along with "Genevieve" their best works.

First demo of this one man project from New York - really sick and twisted atmosphere here... weird saw keyboard arpeggios,harsh/brutal/howling vocals,ambient textures and a hyper blasting drum machine altogether kinda reminding Anaal Nathrakh's "The Codex Necro" era especially at the third track "Black Flowers Bloom" which is by far the best track of the demo. The whole production could be better though but overall it's a descent first release,gets a 7 out of 10 from us!
