The stunning, formal debut of Australia’s Terra Sancta signifies a triumphant return to the dark ambient roots (Yen Pox, Caul) that established Malignant. Unlike those early releases though, this is music that emanates not from the abyss and catacombs, but rather from far above; a descent from air to earth that comes bearing down with a crushing, cosmic weight, sending out cataclysmic eruptions of blinding sonic dust across an already wind swept and barren landscape. 4 tracks totaling close to 50 minutes , each track aptly named (Cold Light Infusion, Black Sun,Blood Red Sea, Drowned - Desert Earth II), each track a vibrant, isokinetic piece climaxing in tumultuous, majestic patterns, time and time again. Rarely has a dark ambient CD come forth with some much unbridled power and depth, a sound so expansive it blasts forth in wide screen, cinematic proportions. While we won’t be so pompous as to say this is an important release (well, we’ll say it to ourselves), we can certainly trumpet it as one of the best dark ambient CD debuts we’ve heard since ‘Blood Music’ (Yen Pox) or Aldebaran (Inade). Trust us on this one, it’s that good, it’s that perfect.

The four compositions herein work perfectly together and definitely act as a complete and unified whole, and while there's not a great deal of individual movement, the overall tone and feeling generated by the compositions is pretty damn impressive – a feat rarely achieved within these circles. Absolutely recommended. I certainly hope that this release ends up being revered as a benchmark release for the dark ambient genre at this time period, because I don't think I've been this impressed by such an artist in years.".
