Ice Ages
This Killing Emptiness (green)
In the dim-lit corridors of the soul,This Killing Emptiness pulses like a slow heartbeat, a ritual quietly played by shadows. From the very first murmur of synthetic breath, a cold, mechanical exhale, it becomes clear: this is a landscape of bleakness, a stark and unrelenting horizon carved from wires and memory. Richard Lederer, best known for ancient mythic realms through Summoning's sprawling soundscapes, here retreats inward, into a crystalline inner void. With Ice Ages he constructs something no less profound. Every sequence, every throbbing bass note, every echoing synthetic lament unfolds like a glacier's inexorable march: majestic, icy, indifferent.
