Melkor – Udkraxsha (Digital/CD Album - PharmaFabrik / Simon Šerc )
Melkor is an Iranian solo project led by Behrad Fountain. The artist has reportedly been active for several years, yet aside from a few tracks featured on various compilations, very little was known until now. This debut album, released in 2024, certainly deserves some belated attention.
Melkor leads us into the most remote realms of Dark-Ambient and Drone. The compositions are meticulously and precisely constructed, where deep, immersive soundscapes merge with droning textures to evoke a sensation that is both captivating and unsettling. The cold, minimal tones give rise to an icy production that reaches moments of true apotheosis.
This is a profoundly intriguing project that has completely convinced me with its first full-length release — a name to remember and to follow closely. (Rating:8½).
