With Atrium Carceri, composer Simon Heath releases his debut Cold Meat album with a theme from deep within isolated prison walls, haunted chambers and the cerebral cortex. With Cellblock, Simon Heath takes us on a journey through what darkwave should have been, filled with details and complex mixing techniques.
With a classical music background and as a member in Za Frûmi (Waerloga Records), Simon decided to make something new of the darkwave genre he always listened to in younger years, thus the project Atrium Carceri was born. Part of the idea behind it was to reinvent the genre of darkwave and inject it with intellect and atmosphere and remove the monotonous feeling.
With the debut album, Atrium Carceri position themselves somewhere inbetween the exuberant sounds of CMI labelmate Sephiroth, and the subterranean rumblings of Loki Foundation stalwarts Inade and Predominance.
