Melkor, the Iranian dark ambient/drone/atmospheric/cinematic project of Behrad Fountain, has released a new album, Udkraxsha, via Pharmafabrik.
Udkraxsha, an immersive sonic experience that transcends boundaries and delves into the depths of existential inquiry, invites listeners to explore the enigmatic realm of Pantheon Black, a concept rooted in ancient lore and brought to life through Behrad Fountain's visionary musical project.
Drawing from the depths of the black tongue, Udkraxsha is more than just an album - it's a testament to Melkor's mastery in evoking a sense of magnitude and excellence that predates our modern era. It's a portal to another realm - a sonic odyssey that challenges listeners to expand their perceptions and embrace the unknown. With its intricate soundscapes and thought-provoking themes, Udkraxsha is a testament to Melkor's commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche. Each of the ten Udkraxsha's tracks is a sonic exploration, weaving together intricate layers of sound to create a rich tapestry of emotions and concepts. From ethereal drones to haunting melodies, Melkor's music transcends genre limitations, offering listeners a truly transcendental experience.
At the helm of Melkor is Behrad Fountain, an interdisciplinary artist and philosophy scholar, who, under the virtual nickname of Melkor, channels his profound understanding of existentialism and philosophical inquiry into a musical language that speaks volumes without uttering a single word. Through his conceptual and experimental expeditions into dark spaces and the origins of creation, Melkor invites audiences to ponder the deepest mysteries of existence.
Join Melkor on a journey through the shadows and immerse yourself in the mystique of Udkraxsha. Link
