God Body Disconnect - "The Depths of Finality"
Dark ambient personal reflections courtesy of producer God Body Disconnect and record label Cryo Chamber. Bruce, founder of the project, had this to say about the new album, " last year when I became sick again, and had death sitting on my shoulders, something changed in me. I found that I couldn’t comfortably channel these feelings from behind a microphone. Maybe it was all a bitter reminder of the hospitals, or the pain of watching my body fail. But I had to face the real possibility of my end, and then somehow find a way to make peace with that. I’ve always strived to be honest with my music, and this album is my attempt to tell that truth. I no longer need to hide from pain. I know death is real, and while I still may fear the unknown, I’ve planted the seed of peace because of it.". Check it out:



Crystal Cage - "Bivrost"
The never ending creative mind of Crystal Cage is always exploring its muse and, thus forth, a new Crystal Cage album has been released.
