A true masterpiece of dark ambient finally resurfaces in stunning new vinyl and CD editions!

Originally crafted by Cold Meat Industry in 1995, Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations is a defining work of sonic mysticism, now reborn through Rune Serpent Europa in a breathtakingly limited pressing.

This album is a cornerstone of the genre, an unparalleled journey through shadowy cathedrals, industrial ruins, and the vast chasms of the subconscious. From the opening moments, Peter Andersson conjures an atmosphere thick with sacred reverence and existential dread. Distant choirs echo like ghostly remnants of forgotten rituals, deep drones stretch into eternity, and mechanical whispers lurk in the periphery, weaving an intricate soundscape that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Each track is a carefully crafted meditation on silence and decay, where melancholic beauty and desolate ambiance merge into an experience that is as haunting as it is transcendental.

The album’s structure is impeccable, moving fluidly between solemn passages of minimalist sound design and dense, immersive sonic walls that envelop the listener. Tracks like Sephiroth and Euphrosyne feel like gateways to another dimension, drawing you deeper into Andersson’s unique vision of spiritual isolation and transformation.

Few albums capture the very essence of dark ambient as completely as Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations. It’s a work that demands full immersion, headphones, darkness, and an open mind. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of the genre or a newcomer seeking the perfect entry point, this is an essential, timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and mesmerize nearly three decades after its creation.

From the moment the needle drops, listeners are drawn into the abyss of Peter Andersson’s haunting world, a realm of ethereal choirs, distant industrial echoes, and cavernous drones that feel as if they were pulled from the depths of forgotten cathedrals. This isn’t just music; it’s an immersive experience, a ritual, a descent into meditative oblivion.

For the first time ever on vinyl, Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations (original 1995 recording) comes in two stunning editions: 300 numbered copies on classic black vinyl and 300 on a mesmerizing gold/black vinyl (THIS), each housed in a lavish gatefold cover that perfectly complements the album’s somber elegance. The warmth and depth of organic sound elevate the already immersive compositions, making this a must-have for any dark ambient connoisseur.
