Melkor, the Iranian dark ambient/drone/atmospheric/cinematic project of Behrad Fountain, released a new album, Udkraxsha, on 5 April via Pharmafabrik.
About the Blackness, there is no need for an introduction. It is present everywhere and has encompassed all of our nature, as well as the Creator. That very extensive layer around our entire world of creation which can contain thousand billions of entities with their very existence in itself and yet there be vacancy. Blackness macrocosm is flowing throughout our whole universe, easily palpable for Blackness offspring. The greatest blessing there is the feasibility to stay at the depth of silence and see the colors.
Written, Composed, Performed and Produced by Melkor.
