Atrium Carceri is a Swedish dark ambient project by Simon Heath. Atrium Carceri’s albums incorporate cinematic themes that help make the sound that much more haunting. The perfect soundtracks to untold horror movies. His six full-length albums have been released by industrial record label Cold Meat Industry.
Atrium Carceri is typically described as dark ambient, black ambient and ambient industrial music. Similar to projects like Lull and Lustmord, Atrium Carceri uses synthesizers, sound effects, samples from films and anime, piano and other instrumentation to create “slow rhythms, bitter melodies and complex textures” generally based on themes of desolation, loneliness (especially solitary confinement) and environmental decay.
Atrium Carceri has been praised by music critics and embraced by a cult audience for its depth of atmosphere. As described by one reviewer, “Heath creates a world where time collapses, where the ancient world of conjured spirits, the physical limitations of being all too human, and the infinite outreach of potential futuretech, all coexist.”
The project name, “Atrium Carceri”, means “prison hall” in Latin - however, “carceri” is in the wrong case. The proper name would’ve been “Atrium Carceris”.

Indeed. ''Reunion'' and ''Eraser'' got some really great melody-parts.

Phrenitis is sounding incredible so far. Much more use of melody, which in my eyes is a great thing.

Not the first time i've heard Atrium Carceri's music compared to Silent Hill soundtracks. Igloomag.com did a review on Ptahil a couple years ago and said the same thing.

Akira Yamaoka? Composer of Silent Hill soundtracks?

Oh great now everyone's comparing it to Akira. Akira doesn't even like that kind of stuff, only did it for the feeling of the game. He still did a great job, but I think it takes a truly tortured soul to put all the emotion into dark ambience. While slowing down a voice, pitchshifting it lower, and adding reverb may be simple and even sometimes effective, it takes more, and us dark ambient/power electronic artists [I make it too :P] like to challenge ourselves.

Sounds like I will enjoy his new album very much if he is starting to drop the foreboding, spooky atmospheres.

I know what you're meaning. New album is missing the brooding, out-of-this-world feeling, but it's still good.

Vacuous wrote:
I really have no opinion on the new album. Its good but its just missing something in my opinion. The last thing I wanna do is rag on one of my favorite artists so i'll leave it at having no opinion on it.

Yeah, Phrenitis may not be his strongest or in this case darkest work but atleast he is trying to do something new.
