German experimental dark ambient act Sjellos is about to release its long-awaited new album, Lifeless Ground, on 26 November via Cryo Chamber. With Lifeless Ground, Sjellos plunges listeners back into the dark, mechanical abyss introduced on his last album Transmission Lost (2013), intensifying the grim sense of desolation and uncertainty. Here, every sound, every shift of air, hints at something unknown and unsettling lurking just out of reach perhaps closer than you dare to imagine.
As you strain to listen, faint echoes reverberate through the bleak silence, but their source remains hidden. It's been decades since you felt anything familiar; now, even the texture of the ground beneath you feels foreign, as if you've stepped into another world or become someone else. Each attempt to move brings flashes of forgotten memories, fractured images of a past life. As they piece together, you question not just where you are but who you are. Something unidentifiable has changed, leaving only a path ahead, one marked by the relentless pull of transformation.
Two tracks, "Coma State" and "Machines Walking", are already available for streaming and you can do it right below. Link
