Ruohtta - Aavet: Black Ambient Sessions 2013-2022 (full album, 2023)

For my final feature of this weeks’ Dungeon Synth Sunday, I bring you an advance stream of Ruohtta’s forthcoming Realm and Ritual release, Aavet: Black Ambient Sessions 2013-2022. The tape compiles Sápmi composer Tervaaja’s debut demo “Laplandic misanthropy“, the “Kaanij“ EP, split tracks, a previously unreleased track, and new single “Keremet“ int an album of raw, sparse, inhospitable atmospherics. While newer Ruohtta work is firmly rooted in black metal, these tracks are mired in ritualistic sonic landscapes and tar-drenched ambience; eight slabs of obsidian darkness, anti-colonial anger, and Laplandic isolation to ward off all light. A limited run of 50 cassettes will be available Friday, July 21st @ 12 PM EST alongside Gray Friar / Woods Of Sith Cala split, Ancient Fears (Mort’loch (of Lone Sentinel / Frostrune / Toad Sage) , Spectral Decay (second wave RABM), and Superfocus (horror synth from Nate Collins) Artist: Ruohtta Album: Aavet: Bla
