Xalm Retribution – «Ruins Of Love»

Xalm Retribution - «Ruins Of Love»Cat.# … DNA 123
Release Date … 26.01.2012
Genre … Industrial, Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC Lossless

Human life is like a big construction process. Born one day, a man grows up and starts his own building using human relations as bricks. Sooner or later a man falls in love and it helps him make his building strong and lasting. Sooner or later this building will collapse as a love will go to ruin.

«Ruins Of Love» is a story about such building. Mechanic noises and industrial beats are in the first part of the work where the construction is going on. Feelings of loneliness and desolation reign in the second part. After collapse, everything stagnates and waits for the first signs of new construction cycle starting. So now here only abstract field recordings rarely break static and minimal ambient soundscapes.

Genre … Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC Lossless

Xalm Retribution presents his new work called «The Last Scar On Urbanization Body» created in true dark ambient way – sombre, hollow, cold.

These six tracks carry a despair of wind caught in a cage of dead city. Six songs of fear and anguish emanated by millions people perished. Six laments of voiceless concrete walls and crying broken windows. Six hymns for emptiness, a heiress of self-destructed civilization.

Release Date … 30.07.2010
Genre … Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC Lossless

«Dark Soil» is a brief story for someone who lay between life and death. That short way for a man who is about to leave this world for a long time.

«Dark Soil», a number of dark and cold tracks in which looped short fragments of ambient canvases combine in weird atmosphere of anxiuos waiting somewhere on the edge of consciousness. Somewhere in dark closed world, out of time, out of human perception. In a place where everyone is waiting and can’t hope for anything.
