THE FLESH, FULL OF BLACK SAND "ASHES ROSE INTO THE SKY AND MIXED WITH FALLING SNOW. EVERYTHING TURNED DARK WITH BLOOD AND THE ASH-GREY SNOW." 6CDR (AOW 455)

Gorgeously hollowed out and depressingly beautiful deep ambience from Dakota of Shadowpiercer.  "Ashes..." is an epic-length drone composition spread across six distinct movements that make full use of stereo mixing and panning; across its runtime the listener is carried into a disorienting Stygian void of gloaming roars from an abyss hidden in shadow and obscurity.  The work here is patient and cosmic, yawning itself open and exposing itself the horrors of the world.  Shot through with sadness, yearning, desperation, fear, and a frightening vulnerability, "Ashes..." is a true journey, full of beauty, awe, and terror.  Listen in the dark, alone, with headphones.
The album can be streamed in its entirety here:
