'Dark Dungeon Ambient From The Deep Woods of Ukraine.
Emerging from the desolate expanse of the Ukrainian wilderness, Moloch is a haunting echo of despair, conjured by the long elusive Sergiy Fjordsson. Born between the bitter winters of 2006 and 2009, Moloch embodies the bleak essence of survival in a landscape marked by frost and silence. "The Forest Kingdom" is a rare artifact captured on crumbled analog tapes, and carries with it the weight of loneliness amidst the deathly chill of an abandoned realm. Fjordsson crafts soundscapes that mirror the stark reality of a world stripped bare, where the icy breath of winter seeps into every crevice and shadows linger in forgotten corners. Featuring unreleased recordings from 2007 to 2017, "The Forest Kingdom" reveals the sorrowful beauty hidden within the ruins of existence. Fjordsson wanders through a labyrinth of bleak sonority, where each mournful note resonates like a wail in the stillness, conjuring the raw, destitute experience of life beneath winter’s relentless grip.
All music written & recorded by Sergiy Fjordsson.
