Два Пустых Скафандра (Two Empty Suits?)

Anyone know about them?  They're a little crude and could use some refinement and editing, but they have solid similarities with Bad Sector.  Early-Warning System has some deep ebbs and quality sci-fi space sounds.

Martin Stürtzer/Phelios has been putting up some very good quality material in his "Stay at Home" series.  "Phelios Dark Ambient stay at home concert #2" has some smart percussion that I'm always gratetful to hear as part of ambient work.

Any other artists in our realm here doing this?

This sort of reminds me of the grimy ambient tracks from Book of Wisdom - Catacombs, which I rarely hear from anyone in this field.  A real treat and great feel.

Cold Spring released recently a new work of Sonologyst , with a heavy ritual / esoteric acoustic component which I like a lot in the dark ambient.

I can´t stand that much the utra-layered ambient like Atrium Carceri or the most recent Lustmord´s things, but I admit that sometimes can be a good atmospheric background sounds to read, etc. Back in time I used to listen to a lot of ambient tunes created by black metal artists. The most common names are for sure the Burzum works (which I find extremely good), Mortiis (which is basically the only dungeon synth stuff I still listen to nowadays) and the more "depressive-oriented" Ellefen´s project Vond, Wongraven, and few others. I wonder if there are other people on this board who enjoy this kind of stuff.

To come back to pure Dark Ambient field, I also like few Cyclic Law´s releases as well, like Treha Sektori for example. The recently released Clavicvla´s album is also pretty good.

Here is one darkly ambient album I always come back to. Very deep and realistic sounding, as I like.

Terra Sancta - Aeon

FallOfNature

Really enjoyed Terra Sancta's material when he releasing it. Thanks for the reminder.

Going to hock my own wares here for an interested audience: ATROX PESTIS debut full length pro CD "Hewn by the Hands of the Damned", side project of Grant Richardson of GNAWED, leans heavily on on the dank and dreadful atmospherics of that project, with Grant's characteristic ear for production keeping it really compelling beyond just being "quiet Gnawed"

Also, T.O.M.B. "Richmond Curse" pro CD, more abrasive, school of abruptum-style mind pacifying occult chaos. from the band:

"It consists of field recordings conducted at the abandoned Richmond Power Plant in Philadelphia Pa. During these recordings sessions, T.O.M.B. collected material by using human bone with a contact mic in a specific area of the location and creating certain ritual sigils on the floor. As the session ended, it was discovered that some recordings had vanished from the recorder..."

Amon - s/t 1996 on Murder Release https://www.discogs.com/release/404204-Amon-Amon

This was sort of re-released as Foundation 2005, but remastered and reworked, and also minus the first track, which was released on El Khela 1997 2CD version.  I don't understand.  I believe Malignant said this was their best selling mailorder item pre-internet.  It was either this or Megaptera - Disease, but I think it was this Amon CD.  Egyptology as a theme for their first releases.  Solid, really well done, notable dark ambient.  Deserves a reissue, or at least on bandcamp in original form.

First post here, so hello.

This is a good chunk of dark ambient from NUMINOUS KOMBATTANT on the Clan Destine tape/digital label.

Indeed, Clavicvla are excellent.
Both Sermons and Degeneracy Of The Fifth Density are also great releases https://clavicvla.bandcamp.com/album/sermons and https://clavicvla.bandcamp.com/album/degeneracy-of-the-fifth-density

I realize I'm replying to an old post so you probably know about these already, but just in case.

I've been enjoying this slab of gloom on the Polish label GATES of HYPNOS quite a lot.

Minimal dark ambient and drones with distant processed field recordings.

Anyone know of the Russian label(?) Distant Mines? Listed on bandcamp as Дальние прииски.

I'm unsure if this is all just one person or not, but I've found the sounds to be very satisfying.

Dark ambient, gloom, field recordings.
