The USA-based artist Kristof Bathory, better known for acts such as Dawn Of Ashes, Void Stasis and Bornless, returns with a new solo album, Black Hole Expedition, set to be released on 25 February via Cryo Chamber.
Black Hole Expedition is a deep-space descent into the unknown, where eerie drones and cosmic echoes pull listeners into the gravitational abyss. This dark space ambient journey captures the isolation and fear of venturing beyond the event horizon, blending haunting analogue textures with the silence of the void.
The artwork and mastering were done by Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri, Sabled Sun). Two tracks are now available for streaming. Link
