Council of Nine (California, USA) debuts with a carefully crafted and masterfully produced album that carries the listener to a place of ancient history, through death into the void beyond. Previously known for his celebrated work on the Tomb of Empires split album, he shows here what he can do when given free range to encapsulate the listener on a full album. The bowed reverberation echoes across time and space while the holy sub frequencies of the universe are used to great effect to create a textural backdrop to isolation.
This album is available in 24bit FLAC.

Quote
Locus Arcadia is a collaborative album by 4 artists: - Randal Collier-Ford - Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Council of Nine - God Body Disconnect
This album takes us on a voyage across the stars to the Locus Arcadia Space Station as it follows a lone protagonists questions into what happened after loss of contact.
"I can barely hear them now, their thin reverberating voices quickly fizz in and out. The crackling sounds of half garbled transmissions dance erratically in my ears, desperately trying to break through a crunching wall of distortion. My last connection to home is quickly disintegrating. The only thing I could muster from the broken transmissions was that there used to be a prison on this station and also some kind of archaic cyborg research facility. As I struggle to hold back the closing walls of helmet induced claustrophobia, I soon fear everything will be buried underneath a smothering film of my own sticky breath. I hate the feeling of being trapped in this glass prison. My attention shifts, and I begin to notice just how cold it's become. It's dropped 30 degrees since my initial inspection; the meter now reads -87 Fahrenheit. Ahead of me awaits a mammoth of a station. A rust colored metallic structure with hundreds of slits like eyes peering out into open space. I slowly slide a vigilant gaze along its seemingly endless perimeter, and in complete awe of its massiveness the reality of what awaits me firmly sets hold. A fine pointed sting of uneasiness slowly climbs through my sternum and into my throat. Now just twelve meters from the entrance, my steps turn deliberately cautious. I hesitantly raise and press my boots into the ground, compressing the tiny granules beneath me. The closer I get, the quieter it all becomes, and the more alone I begin to feel. As the distance between us diminishes, the anticipation grows feverishly tall like the dozens of rectangular glass lookouts adorning the otherwise dilapidated station. The main entry hatch now within arms reach, I punch in the code: 7-5-1-3. The door opens..."

Council of Nine returns with his third album on Cryo Chamber.
Trinity is a touching, personal and enlightening album from Maximillian Olivier. In a genre where most keep their personal life to themselves, Maximillian opens his heart for all to see.
"This is my catharsis. The many stages of grief and the acceptance of loss, deeply personal, unforgiving, cold and painful. This is the story of the greatest loss I have suffered, the death of my mother. This marks the end of a chapter and the closure I was desperately seeking."
Blending atmospheric sound layering with a harmonic palette it drifts between dark and light. Walls of sound collide with echoing strums, drones wash over endless shores.
Recommended for lovers of melancholic dark ambient

Dedicated to the memory of : Laura Olivier 1957-2016
On march 22nd 1997, 39 members of the Heavens Gate cult committed suicide in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
They did this in waves lasting three days, they received a signal in the form of a comet known as Hale Bopp.
Once every 2000 years a signal from the level above human appears.
"RED ALERT, A massive comet is soaring close to earths atmosphere. A signal has come to show the next step. You must abandon your human bodies and leave with uncertain doubt. Closure to Heavens Gate is here, the level above human."
With time running out and nothing left to lose the leader of the group Marshall Applewhite reaches a decision. He then instructs his students to ingest applesauce laced with Phenobarbitol, chased with a shot of vodka. They rest in their bunk beds as life dissipates their vessels of flesh.
On day 3, after their last supper, they sign out of the daily log for the last time, as the clock nears 8pm. They begin the final phase of their mission, fading away in bed is taking too long. Armed with plastic bags, students assist with the suicides of their teammates, by tying them around their necks. Purple death shroud wrapped around their corpse.
Old, tired, and broken from long days and sleepless nights leading to the away teams final departure. They are now free from the pain and horrible suffering the world has shown them, they no longer need to rely on the human experience. This world has not been kind, 39 to beam up.

Davidian is Council of Nine's second album focusing on the dark side of mass followings and cults, the first being Exit Earth.
"On the outskirts of texas a worn down man sick to death of the lies and deceit of this world stumbled into a ground breaking discovery. This man who was suddenly gifted with an ancient knowledge and armed with a direct link to god, convinced his followers to lead a simple path, a path of goodness, a path of true faith regardless of the judgement of man, because they knew that no man could judge a single one of them, the only judgement would come long after we shed our mortal coil.
As long as his followers remained true and faithful to the information being given to them. This information was indeed coming from god and this god was not a kind one, he told us that those who wish to destroy evrything we have built would soon come for us, that they would take us all in a battle of heaven and hell. Riding in on their chariots armed with the lies and hatred of man, our father told us to take the sword And 1000 swords we took" credits released August 13, 2019
