ARCHON SATANI - In Shelter

file: Ritual dark Ambient ; label: Dark Vinyl ; repressing April 2005

As member of the Cold Meat Industry family, Archon Satani is a familiar name to those following dark electronics. 5 dark ambient structured tracks, with sometimes bleak and evil monotonous sounds. If you are fascinated by ritual sacrifice, ethereal atmospheres and excursions through darker ambience, this trip should be yours. IN SHELTER works through the power of hypnotism and this release is very minimalistic in function. Repressing of the long-time deleted album from 1996


-----------------some general infos / reviews about ARCHON SATANI-------------------

After the split with Thomas Petersson, who is now doing his own project ORDO EQUILIBRIO, Mikael Stavöstrand decided to keep ARCHON SATANI alive and the result can be seen in the new release "In Shelter".

Forget all cheap noise collages from the so called "Death Industrial" bands of this genre, ARCHON SATANI brings you 5 dark ambient structured tracks, with sometimes bleak and evil monotonous sounds. If you are fascinated by ritual sacrifice, ethereal atmospheres and excursions through darker ambience, this trip should be yours.

IN SHELTER works through the power of hypnotism and encompasses all spheres of the current dark ambient and ritual industrial boom.

" Archon Satani is a familiar name to those following dark electronics. As member of the Cold Meat Industry family, Archon Satani should appeal to those with a taste towards the prevalence of electronics in black metal. A word of warning thoug -- this release is very minimalistic in function.Although there is an ambience to the tracks on this CD, it is obviously about something much darker. Start with the cover and inner artwork: the primordial forest and themes of bondage -- this is no fetish game here. Some more ancient is being exposed. The cold, droning electronics are like some kind of resonating frequency being sent through the tree trunks of this aged forest.... Recommendation -- total darkness, late at night, high volume , lay naked -- alone. " ( THE RAPE OF ANGELS Magazine, USA )

" this is the kind of music you cannot review ! because it`s not exactly music ! It`s a gathering of sounds put on CD. Haunting, demonic-almost alien-sounds used for the creation of certain feelings to the listener. Feelings of depression, sadism and awakening. Awakening of the shadow self. The beast self. It`s like an opener of the gates. A taste of things that lie beyond. A world waiting for thy soul..It`s like a ritual monotonous music that`s good for meditation, ritual or making love ( making love is a ritual, a black one for me...). Don`t imagine new age bullshit, but harsh sounds that can raise the devil in you. ( SUBTERRA, Issue 0 , 1996 )
