Beyond the malignant jail cells and narrow asylum walls, our hidden
tormentors laugh at us from a world of smoke and mirrors. Kapnobatai, the
third installment from Atrium Carceri, ventures further still into the
wretched world beyond the place we so resignedly inhabit, and into the
sublimely unkown. Shattered yet enlightened we are thrust forcefully through
the illusion of our making, to the ancient sprawling city that is the one
true testament to human achievment. The visions of the Kapnobatai (those who
walk in smoke) are seen, heard and felt in this genderbending and
exquisitely detailed black ambient album from
philosopher/visionaire/composer/artist Simon Heath. This is a place of
ancient machines, rusty walls and whispered sighs. With lavish attention to
detail this profound composition of the mind wrests the listener away from
the mundane, perchance never to return.
