Got a bit of a sad memory attached to this album as I was listening to it upon taking a nap one faithful Sunday... only to get waken up by the news that Marcus Intalex had passed away :( still, the music remains beautiful and poignant as ever, big up Sam! Eternally grateful for your music <3 Alegria
Cryostasium, the brainchild of one Cody Maillet, combines vocaloid pop with extreme metal for an unsettling, one-of-a-kind release. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 8, 2020
Written in response to the climate crisis, “Leviathan” is a brooding and beautifully unsettling batch of dark ambient songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
ASC continues to make some of the most interesting and inventive electronic music around.
Every album/EP is distinctive, but uniquely his.
This is one of his darker releases, not so much cold as and deep and somewhat desolate.
The beat textures are almost industrial, with ambient keyboard flourishes and unconventional rhythms. Frequently mournful piano lines colour the mix with a sense of sombre reflection.
A rewarding, reflective album.
