Traces Of Nothingness - Svartsinn

****
Ever thought what about what the soundtrack of a troubled mind would sound like? Or sonic reflections about being in that state? How about musical soundscapes about the turmoil and tribulations in life? Well there's an artist known as Svartsinn who not only thought about this but actually succeeded in composing such soundscapes in the form dark ambient music. Traces of Nothingness is the grand morbid finale in the Svartsinn trilogy, the previous two releases being Devouring Consciousness and Of Darkness and Re-Creation respectively. Devouring Darkness deals mainly with troubled times in the life of the artist and Of Darkness and Re-Creation sees the artist contemplating those times of turmoil. With Traces of Nothingness Svartsinn gives a dark overview on the struggles of life in general, and one hell of view at that i might add.Traces of Nothingness for one thing breaks the cycle in the typical dark ambient cliche. The complexity and diversity in in the overall sound shows an achievement in sonic evolution and musical maturity in the genre of dark ambiance. The listener is immediatly transported to a world of desolation where feelings of loss, grief, loneliness, despair and depression create the atmosphere. One of the most remarkable aspects of this grim creation is it's ability to permeate the listener with these feelings; you feel what Svartsinn felt in this album. For almost one hour spanning eight tracks you will a captive in the dark realm that Traces of Nothingness takes you to. Highlights on this morbid masterpiece include Traces of Nothingness, Misanthropic Odyssey and Through Apathetic Eyes. I suggest that if bleak and dark ambient music is your desire, desperately seek out Traces of Nothingness and take a 'misanthropic odyssey' with Svartsinn.
