With their latest release, Phelios continues to carve out a unique space in the dark ambient genre. Martin Stürtzer blends expansive soundscapes with slowly evolving tribal rhythms to create a truly immersive experience.

"Obsidian Forest" captures the essence of deep, shadowy woods where ancient, unseen forces seem to dwell. The album feels like a ritualistic journey into nature's darker realms, with each track evoking a vivid, sometimes haunting, landscape of sound. Phelios' trademark monumental melodies are omnipresent throughout the album, merging with sombre, swelling drones that pull listeners into a dense sonic fog. As the album progresses, these melodies evolve like distant, otherworldly chants reverberating through the trees.

The layering is intricate, and the atmosphere is thick, yet there’s always a sense of space - an invitation to explore these shadowy woods further. Tribal percussion grounds the otherwise ethereal soundscapes with a primal energy. These rhythms emerge slowly, almost as if they are the footsteps of an unseen figure moving deeper into the wilderness.

Phelios seamlessly blends ancient and futuristic elements, balancing tension and tranquility to craft a meditative yet eerie soundscape. A sonic journey and an imaginative exploration of nature's darker side.
