Altum are a solo project from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of dark ambient, drone, ritual and field recordings and this is a review of his 2025 album "Kingdom of Radisnt Darkness" which was released by Ominous Sounds.
Field recordings start off the album along with some soundscapes a few seconds later while the synths also add in elements of dark ambient and also add in a variety of many different sounding keys. The only song that is present on the recording is also over 40 minutes in length and at times the music goes into more of a ritualistic direction.
As the album progresses the music also gets very diverse sounding while also keeping everything in more of an instrumental direction. At times the recording also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the songs also mixing in a great amount of drones which enhance the ritualistic atmosphere of the tracks.
Altum plays a musical style that takes dark ambient, drone, ritual and field recordings and mixes them together to create a sound of his own as well as keeping everything instrumental. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on vision impulses.
In my opinion Altum is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, drone, ritual and field recordings and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. 8 out of 10.
