Dark ambient solo artistSATARAY today unveils “Hexennacht.” Currently streaming at Decibel Magazine, the track comes off her forthcoming Blood Trine Moon EP.
Metaphorically titled for the creative process, that of bleeding and reflecting, Blood Trine Moon is
a vessel of contained rituals, exploring varied states of consciousness
within occult explorations of the natural world. The EP intones rich,
dark, ambient textures and further explorations into various vocal
caverns. Elements of dungeon synth and harsh industrial genres blend
seamlessly into this complex four-track EP.
Writes
Decibel Magazine of “Hexennacht,” “…the eerie piece is built around a
repetitive organ-inspired melody and rumbling tribal thrum, with washes
of distant synth and SATARAY’s
rangy incantations and wails. It slowly builds in intensity, like an
invocation, then simmers to a haunting close. Like the rest of the EP,
there are elements of industrial grime and dungeon synth.”
Adds
SATARAY, "The outline of this track was created during the eve of
Hexennacht one year, and encapsules all of that which is evoked."
Recorded and mixed by SATARAY, mastered by Casey Chittenden Jones (Noisepoetnobody), and featuring artwork by Anima Nocturna, Blood Trine Moon will be released digitally on February 11th via Scry Recordings.
