A descent beyond death, a return to the origins of memory.
With The Journey to Reach the Fathers, Italian dark ambient visionary New Risen Throne delivers a monumental work of sonic transcendence, a meditation on death, ancestry, and the dissolution of the self.
The album unfolds as an inner passage beyond the boundaries of life, a transition into a realm suspended between memory and disintegration. Across five symbolic gates, the listener follows the path of a soul crossing from the mortal plane into ancestral depths. Each threshold represents a shedding, of fear, of guilt, of the fragile remnants of individuality, until what remains is no longer identity, but essence.
At the heart of this passage stands the Father: both guide and archetype, a primordial presence linking end and origin, loss and continuity. This is no promise of redemption or paradise, but a return to a distant, pre-human realm, where the lineage of the fathers of the fathers persists, silent and eternal, beneath the surface of all becoming.
Sonically, The Journey to Reach the Fathers extends New Risen Throne’s command of ritual dark ambient into its most profound form yet. Layered drones, corroded frequencies, and glacial reverberations intertwine to create soundscapes where time folds inward, bending into an inner spiral of resonance and decay.
Each composition becomes an act of purification and remembrance, a rite through which sound transforms into memory, and memory into presence. The result is a dense, immersive experience that stands as both requiem and revelation, a work about loss and continuity, return and dissolution.
Even as matter fades, The Journey to Reach the Fathers reminds us that every silence retains its trace, like the breath of those who came before, still echoing, still guiding.
