Shrine is a solo project from Bulgaria that plays a mixture of dark ambient and atmospheric soundscapes and this is a review of his 2018 album "Celestial Fire" will be released on December 21st by Cyclic Law.
Dark ambient soundscapes start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding drones while all of the tracks are very long and epic in length as well as the music also mixing in elements of a more underground industrial style and sci-fi style spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Field recordings can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while synths are also a very huge part of the music along with most of the songs being instrumental as well as all of the tracks sounding very different from each other. and as the album progresses a brief use of nature and water sounds can be heard.
Shrine plays a musical style that takes dark ambient, drone, soundscapes and filed recordings to create a sound of his own, the production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on a historical fiction story based in Antarctica and some discoveries made by the Polynesians and Charles Darwin mixing in some non fiction elements.
In my opinion Shrine is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient and atmospheric soundscapes and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Infada Stone" and "Celestial Fire'. 8 out of 10.
