I'm a huge fan of Norwegian dark ambient artist, Northaunt, with his lush, atmospheric soundscapes. But his best work by far is his side project, Therradaemon, in which he explores a darker, more sinister side of the genre.
The thick, dark, tense sounds produced on this release, particularly the track Ildspor, are a seasonal favorite around the Cemetery and would work unbelievably well in a haunt setup. Enjoy 11 minutes of pure dread!
I'm a big fan of Hærleif Langas' dark, atmospheric ambient work in Northaunt, but I became very excited when I stumbled upon his 2011 side project, Therradaemon. Much darker and more sinister, and right up my alley during the run up to Halloween. Another great selection that would set a wonderfully creepy and dark tone in a haunt display!
From the Therradaemon Bandcamp page: "Den mørke munnens språk", translating to "Language of the dark mouth" is a new aural venture from Hærleif Langas (Northaunt), and definitely his most massive and ominous dark ambient project to date. Designed to open beneath you as a trapdoor, the 4 mammoth tracks on this first album are a reflection of a more sinister side of the psyche made from deep ambient structures and constantly evolving drones. Atmospheric and slowly moving it taps into the hidden maelstrom of the mind.
A cold, weathered hand pierces the rust-laden earth of a late autumn night. Reanimated decay becomes the evening's guide. Masked faces bask in the fiery glow of a jack-o-lantern's illumination. A lifeless finger points the direction toward the next porch-lit house. For this is the night of ghouls and goblins and tricks and treats. This is the night of Hallowe'en...
