I'll start off by saying that 'Ambient' is a relative term but I'm sure you can tell already from that album cover that this is going to be as grim and sparse as fuck. Conceptually this album has been executed near flawlessly, the premise of this band is essentially 'black metal in space' and that's pretty much where it takes you. The traditional black metal formula has been augmented by dreamy synth pads, electronic drums and sci-fi samples which adds a unique vibe to their sound especially with the synths. What really invokes the stark images of deep space in this recording though are the monolothic tides of punishing guitar, it's one dissonant chord change after another with little respite to be had - there is no one to help you in outer space.
This one is an acquired taste and you really need to be in the mood for a bit of gloom - the experience is rewarding if you're up to it.
NOTE: for some reason megaupload refused to upload this album no matter how many times I tried so I had to settle for rapdidshare instead.
