They glide across genres that take in cinematic drone, industrial, experimental, spoken word and soundscapes that shift between immersive ambient into noisy eruptions.
“The Silver Threshold is a setting, a world in which frayed classical instruments meet metal, iron filling fizzles, pulsations, deep thuds and stirring gravitas.” – Monolith Cocktail
Dead Space Chamber Music are a dark neoclassical group from Bristol, UK. They reinterpret historical material, taking forms and melodies from the medieval and Renaissance periods in particular, and shape-shifting them into new contemporary works. Drawing on many musical approaches, including found-sound and improvisation, they incorporate elements and atmospheres of of medieval, neo folk, ritual ambient and early industrial in their avant-garde music.
In December 2021 they released The Black Hours, their 2nd studio album in collaboration with eclectic Bristol label, Avon Terror Corps. Inspired by a medieval devotional ‘book of hours’, the album digs deep into the unsettling and disorienting experiences of the pandemic, confronting and embodying many emotions — from the boldly visceral to the melancholic with an edge of eerie. The songs show the breadth of the group’s scope in terms of influences and approaches — material that is hundreds of years old being given new life, with soul-stirring melodies rising to dramatic doom-laden highs via experimental techniques.
“The Black Hours is deeply storied and gloriously doomy…a mix of beauty and heaviness, ancient and new.” – The Quietus
