Mombi Yuleman I find most of Noctilucant's albums to have a great deal of replayability and "Amongst the Snow and the Shadows" is no exception. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites to play on a day off. Textured to perfection and the narration is particularly suitable. I feel the snow and I know the shadows lurk when I listen to this. Favorite track: The Boundless Ashen Horizon Awaits.

Jon After a couple of listens to Noctilucant's new album, Amongst the Snow and the Shadows I definitely get a haunting feel of isolation from it. I like all the elements used here. From the spoken word to the piano pieces. Great job. Favorite track: Of Black Wings and Winter Nights.

about

‘Amongst the Snow and the Shadows’ is the fourth full-length album from cinematic dark ambient project, Noctilucant, and the proper follow-up to 2017’s, ‘Bleak and Drained of Colour.’ ‘AtSatS’ focuses on a single protagonist as he traverses the ruined world he once called home. In ‘AtSatS,’ the world has frozen over to nothing more than a barren wasteland. This is now several years after the apocalypse when all hope of returning to what we once called normal is but a distant memory.

‘Amongst the Snow and The Shadows’ follows our protagonist from the onset of a nightmare where he struggles through unknown hells before dramatically waking up and realizing his real world is no different. Setting off from his bunker in search of life, he roams the landscapes, eventually coming across what is believed to be a safe haven, but is instead something else….

‘Amongst the Snow and the Shadows’ features the now established Noctilucant cinematic sound with ample field recordings and narration blended with more of a polar ambient vibe and some minor dungeon synth like melodies this time around. Additionally, four other Dark Ambient maestros make guest appearances to tell this tale.
