Urth - Shadow of the Torturer (2021)

“Shadow of the Torturer” is the debut album from URTH, Kamil Wałęcki’s solo act heavily inspired by the prolific work of Gene R. Wolfe, especially his “The Book of the New Sun” series.
The album skillfully combines elements of several genres such as dark ambient, industrial and tribal music, and imbues them with a distinct cinematic-like flavor.
For the fans of Steve Roach, Kammarheit, Zguba and Blizzard games soundtracks. Except it’s a soundtrack to humanity’s last days under the dying sun, so expect a good portion of dark and murky—yet beautiful!—music.
“Shadow of the Torturer” will not only feed your ears. The exclusive edition also boasts a 36-page book featuring URTH’s original poetic prose that is complemented by a beautiful themed photo gallery.
