[LISTEN] Lousberg // The Death Of Humanity


The Death Of Humanity was recorded in the first half of 2017 by Lousberg. All music by Lousberg. Mixed by Lousberg. Mastered by W. Reijman at Catacomben Studios (Utrecht, The Netherlands). Photos by J. Bremen, taken in March 2018 at the Lousberg mountain (Aachen, Germany).

With “The Death Of Humanity,” Lousberg achieves what most composers fail to do so in a lifetime, much less a career. Transcending styles of dark ambient and dungeon synth, Lousberg is responsible for the merger of worlds; both specific and abstract. Intensely contemplative, “The Death Of Humanity” offers itself as an existential soundtrack. 

Lousberg guides a select few textures through landscapes both subterranean and otherworldly, somehow molding them as one in a 25 minute epic composition. Essentially, “The Death Of Humanity” exists somewhere between heaven and earth; between the universe and darkest corner of a remote location of the listener’s room. Warm, low tones merged with high, cold planes. Through cavernous landscapes and perpetual colonnades. Through timeless loneliness and endless emotional collapse, what Lousberg creates is both intensely human and otherworldly.

trepaneringsritualen // a cold cell (Coil cover)


Formed in 1983, the legendary british project COIL were at the forefront of European experimentalism and electronic music for over twenty years. After the tragic accidental death of John Balance the remaining member Peter Christopherson decided that COIL would not continue. As Christopherson passed away in 2010, only memories and the recorded works of this great artistic collective remain. 

This release presented by ant-zen and raubbau is a most remarkable act of reverence to Coil's haunting and magick sonic force.  'A cold cell' from the 'live three' album were issued on the 'scatology' release and is here re-interpreted by trepaneringsritualen (Sweden). 

original songs written by coil 
mastered by linus andersson at elementstudion.
