I just went through comments until I hit the end and literally could not scroll anymore and I did not find the snail comment. I'm crying now. The world is dark. This music fits my mood. I spilled my red bull.
I love that this track has a subtle, mournful feel to it. Many ambient tracks are dark, disturbing, frightening, or lonely, but this one has a note of regret that makes it unique, especially to writing certain scenes.
Yeesss, I'm so glad someone else said it. It is such a nice experience finding unique ambient music to listen to while write or reading something. Instrumentals such as this one sort of puts you in the setting or in the character's place and can help you better understand and/or relate to each scene.
This music actually gave me such a good idea for a dungeon in D&D. My party is a happy go lucky bunch with lots of jokes. It’s fun. Really is, but I want them to explore the darker side of humanity and the other races. And the fact that the world has a dark side. Who ever compiled this, thank you
Michael Sorbello: Horror Stories This music definitely works with horror. I think it also works with writing torture scenes. Same gloomy mood and haunting atmosphere.
Indeed. I sometimes write ghost stories for children, and while I've never written anything worthy of nighmare fuel, this type of music does help to set the mood for something spooky.
I would very much like to, though I'm not entirely sure if sharing any of my stories on UA-cam would make them public domain, meaning I couldn't publish them in a book (which is what I'm hoping to do).
Never listen to people who tell you this music is too dark or depressing and that you shouldn't be listening to it. You need this; it nurtures your very being.
when you listen to this when normaly listening to japanese music then others multiple then find this you like good a music to calm my evil and dark mind on
Aaron Steely Darkness is more pure than light, its plain, but pure, mysterious. People ascociate evil with darkness, WRONG. The light exist to feed darkness
I started to read Stephen King and Lovecraft two weeks ago. Two days later I found this masterpiece. The combination is priceless. Thank you for this! 💚
Perfect during sleep, I get travelled to mysterious and strange (meaning, beautiful) places and worlds Different laws of nature Feeling the absolute Freedom.
This music fills me with such calming peace, like I'm in a dream. I feel like all the worries of this world are blown away, and that I'm flying away to another reality.
Hunter if u only knew the places I have or visited with this providing me with a soundtrack of my where I am or where I am going. Time stands still as I reach forever for parts unknown.
It reminds me so much when I look into the ceiling, I feel like I wanna go there. I can't explain the hole, but I feel like there's a world thereby different reality. I grew up loving mysterious architecture as I remember looking at the hole mysteriously. I love the unknown.
Never again will we ever see architecture like these...truly a lost art! Seems buildings today come with half the work and the price tag worthy of such grandeur.
Beatrice Rudzeviciute couldn’t tell you other than that castle is definitely after the medieval period if a castle at all. Looks like a late renaissance castle or cathedral to me. If it were medieval you would not see that level of detail or windows on the ground floor, to easy to breach for attackers and the beautiful architecture is useless during a siege ( if castle ). My guess is that it’s either in France or Germany. That’s as detailed as I can get my friend, sorry. Even then I could be wrong.
I was actually really surprised finding out this was the "snail workout" mix- I'd been using it to help me sleep for a while, fun to catch it out in the wild like that! And of course it still does help me sleep, would love more creepy droning ambience like this. Great stuff!

Listening to this while reading Dante Alighieri's "The Inferno" gives me an eerie feeling while reading about Dante the Pilgrim's journey through Hell. Thanks, 12 outta 10.
Inspiration struck. You step into the darkened temple. Dim light shines in through the thin windows, moonlight reflecting off of the snow outside. The floor ahead of you is striped with light and shadows. The wooden pews around you are layered with grey dust. Even the floors are covered, dust billows in the air as you step, disturbed for the first time in many years. The cold seeps through the walls; you can see your breath in the still air. Ahead, at the altar, you see a tall shadow. It moves, becoming a man wearing the black cassock of a priest, a black hat shadowing his face. “Welcome.”
I am a good bit late upon this, but I'm glad I found it, for it has given me inspiration for a character somewhere that I am quite fond of these days. It suddenly struck me, and I thought I might note it down here so that I may come back to it. A large castle, belonging to that of a great King is where this begins, filled with large rooms of books and luxurious accessories. Couches, tables, goblets, gold linings across the walls were all that were seen in the halls of such a grand building. And yet, there was a lone girl within. Short, yet intelligent one could gather from simply seeing her, it was deep within the tie of night, the moon risen right in front of her window, even through the clouds in the sky and the rain pattering upon it. The girl, sat beside a small candle, read a small book within her hands, her hood up above her head, and her eyes lit with curiosity as she read deeper and deeper into the book that entranced her so. That was, until, a blast of lightning out from her window rang through her eyes, and thunder sound blasted her ears. She was forced to place down the book, as she cowered in fear from the sound of it. Someone came rushing into the room directly afterwards, a man, almost slamming open the door, and immediately asking as he entered, "Rosabella! Are you alright?" He saw Rosabella, the girl, on the ground, currently quivering with fear from the sudden thunder. Rosabella would only barely manage to open her mouth to speak timidly and quietly, "F-father...?" The father would rush over to his daughter, and reply to her once again, "Thank goodness you're alright... There's a large storm outside, and I was just coming to check up on you. Would you like to come join your sister and I in the main hall?" At this juncture, the father would have already picked up his daughter in the manner that parents pick up their young children, and looked at her as he asked this question. "No, I'm alright, father..." Rosabella replied, quietly as she usually was this way. "I-I was just reading something, but that thunder ended up stopping my thoughts..." The father would laugh a small bit after she had said this, placing Rosabella down onto her bed, and patting her head a small bit. "You have always enjoyed studying. I suppose if you don't mind, allow me to know what you're reading up on this time," the father would say, attempting to keep his voice soft and calming, as another small bit of thunder could be heard ringing throughout the castle. "It was just a book on a small bit of...um...m-magic..." Rosabella spoke with a shyness even unlike herself, showing she already had some knowledge of what was about to happen when her father looked down to her suddenly, his expression changing to be a slight expression of worry and anger hidden deep within the expression. He'd reply strongly and firmly, "Rosabella! You must stop with that at once!" He'd keep his voice down to a strong whisper, as he seemed to not want to have others within the castle hear. Rosabella would shake a little more from the sudden firmness and strength of his speaking, wincing a bit, as she'd reply, "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't know, truly! I-I just...saw a lot of my friends using that magic, and I thought I could learn it, too!" She'd also keep her voice down to a slight whisper, as her father made it very clear he didn't need the rest of the household learning about this. His father knelt down in front of his daughter, and placed a hand onto her cheek, looking directly into her eyes with his own desperate ones. "Rosabella, my dear, you mustn't attempt to learn things of that nature. Our family...our family isn't meant for it. YOU are not meant for it, Rosabella. You must believe me when I say this," he said, still in his strong and whispering tone, but now out of desperation and concern rather than anger. The initial anger seemed to have subsided, in fact, from his expression. Rosabella would nod only a small bit, looking down, her hood covering her eyes, now, as she'd reply, "I understand, father. I'm sorry, I didn't know." His father would respond with a hug around his daughter, taking a few deep breaths as he did so. He was calm, but now most certainly worried for his daughter. All this time he still hadn't seen the book she had managed to pick up, the one she had been studying. Only time would tell if he would find out, now... I think that's about all I can write on this currently. If you read all this way, thank you, and I hope you enjoyed it.
I’d replace accessories with furnishings, because accessories is broader, but you know furnishings would encompass the furniture and stuff on it. Your use of “would” is interesting, but may be discomfiting to the reader. It’s possible it would be better to remain very clearly in the past tense without terms unrelated to tense sprinkled in, although that could become a trademark of your writing. If you’ve not gotten with a writing group or beta reader, you should. I’m an editor of sorts by day and do some beta reading. If you’re serious about writing and getting your work out there, it tends to help writers grow by leaps and bounds; two heads are better than one. And even if you don’t get constructive criticism, you can move on to other people and have your skin thickened in the process. It’s good that you’re using stuff like this to get inspiration; until you get a habit of writing, inspiration is so fickle and it’s a great idea to draw it to you as often as you can. Good luck in the future.
Something is lurking, dark and mysterious. Could it be dangerous or could it be in mourning over days long passed? The longer you listen to this music the more you hear and feel a sense of overwhelming presence around you as if all the memories whether good or bad come flooding back to the beginning of your mind, creating a maze of happiness and sorrow. Close your eyes, feel the music take you to another place where your thoughts can wander into an eternal tomorrow of the once was or could have been. The history of you or those whom you've read will feed the slightly darker tone making the music come alive with each note. I love this music
This is so great for my illustration designs. I'm into the macabre style of drawing and THIS... is the holy grail for letting the imagination flow with ideas. Thankyou SO much!! It's so beautiful and atmospheric.
I agree - I'm an artist. Even more, I'm a successful artist. I have NO UNSOLD art laying around . Everything I draw or paint sells. I'm often asked. "How do you do it? What is your "Secret"? What is the "Trick" to being a successful artist.? Every art student wants to know this. I will tell you, now. It's simple. There is no "trick" to being a sucessful artist. No magic secret. It's just hard work. Lot's of hard work. That's the big secret answer. I toil full-time, nearly every-day, 8 to 10 hours day ...in my art-studio making ART. If I'm not at an art opening in a gallery, I'm in my studio. Every day I'm sketching, drawing, inking, working on the computer, but mostly standing before an easel... painting on a canvas. I guarantee 100% If you worked hard at your art, trying to make it the very best art your can ( no short cuts ) for 8 to 10 hours, every day for 1 year… by the end of that year you would be making a living selling in an art gallery. Period. The secret is 99.9% of people don't want to work that hard. So they never become successful artists. The best music I found to work to is AMBIENT and Classical. The hypnotic rhythms slow the monkey-mind down, get the left and right side of the brain in sync, and that's when the imagination and the creative flow start to happen. That's when the best art is made…. after hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years of hard work. That's how ART is made.
lone forgotten herald stumbles upon the temple of worship, gathered dark clouds and the croak of crows, only to find beams of stained glass and an omnius sound and the reminiscent song of the choir once sang, he bows one last time for his king and the saints that once gave him hope ...
I've been using this as background ambience for a horror segment in my Dungeons and Dragons campaign and it's really elevated the scare factor for my players. Hell, I listen to it to set the mood while planning that stuff and it even creeps me out! Thanks for posting this.
In this world, where there is light, there will always be shadow. It’s never the darkness that scares or frightens us. It’s what lurks within that does. Sometimes there is no monster, no Boogeyman lurking within the inky blackness. Sometimes the darkness within ourselves, that demon, that darker half that waits patiently within all, is what scares us the most. Temper it. Control it. Fight it. But most of all, be one with it and the light. But never run from it. Because as there is light, there is shadow, and a shadow will follow wherever you go.
ah this sounds like the sweet bitter taste of Nostalgia, bring me back to my slumber, my dreams of places dark and forboding, it's denizens equally wondrous and horrifying. And if I'm lucky enough, may I never wake-up again.
I imagine one of my ancestors, exploring a long forgotten castle in Ireland or Scotland. I, and many other people who listen to these, have a strange fascination with derelict worlds.

Perfect accompaniment for reading serious books. been diving into some philosophy and Jordan Peterson and this stuff is so fitting its almost as if I'm floating adrift on a cloud, being transported through to another dimension. Awesome work. So happy I decided to search dark ambient and clicked the link with a creepy picture. Thank you for what you do
i've been listening to this all day since I found it because it's just really lovely ambient music. it's eerie but in a lovely way, like warm sunlight in an abandoned building's window that makes it feel less scary
studying to this music beside the window. writing with my right hand and doing gryphon rolls on my left hand, and this music makes me feel composed. thanks for this.
THE HALLS PRONOUNCED ; A SENTIMENTAL TOUCH. LITTLE CARVINGS CUT LIKE SHAVED ICE. AMONG THE WINDOW PANES. SUCH BEAUTY SO DYNAMIC THE ARCHES TELL A STORY. WHEN DARKNESS KISSED THE LIGHT. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH HARMONY. A DANCE BEYOND TIME ITS SELF.
I love such melodic dark ambient. Can you recommend me more of this, not just "hum and buzz"-music, but with all those melodies and keyboard instruments?
The transition at 1:44 really opened my mind up to a vast atmosphere. I am sincerely never one to comment, however, felt the need to simply say thank you & how much I appreciate this & show a little bit of love, light & respect...^ Pulchritudinous ^ ... it means absolutely exquisite 12:23 .
I'm getting some serious Silent Hill vibes from the track Dancing with the Ghost by Phonothek(starts at 27:04). Very creepy, yet very beautiful. This track and the other tracks from this collection create the perfect ambience for me to write in. Thank you, Cryo Chamber!
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, tapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor, " I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door- Only this, and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember it was in a bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore- For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Nameless here for evermore. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; Presently to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door- Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;- Merely this, and nothing more." Out into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!" This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"- Merely this, and nothing more.
Just found your channel and already subscribed. These playlists of so many different styles are exactly what I need for writing on my stories or painting.

Mahmux , very good point , yeah i think this is perfect reading music , its non obtrusive, and no lyrics. it stays beautifully anchored in the background if set at a moderate volume.
That’s exactly what I listen to this for. 😂 I’m only just edging into creepy books, so I didn’t have anything to listen to like I do for other genres. I love the internet. 😁
The first track plus this image gives off the feeling as if something is fundamentally wrong with the place. That actually terrified me the first time I heard it.
...I can't stop playing Nekrosis on repeat for my D&D sessions. It conveys an emotion of peace, but in an "eye of the storm" kind of way. The worst is yet to come.
Just listen to this before sleeping, gives you so much vibes. To me I felt like falling into the endless pit much like alice in the wonderland. Not knowing what will happen or who is there. But I know Im not alone. Like someone from the parallel world is trying to reach to me as I sink deeper into the darkness. At some point I felt I was in a war between two countries fighting each other as the music started challenging the background sound. Mysterious and Adventerous feelings I get from listening to this.

Right, like Carl Jung said: "One does not become enlightened by imagining beings of light, but by making the dark side fully conscious."
And don't forget, kids - being a child of darkness has nothing to do with being a bad person.
That or being a child of darkness just means you have chronic Pseudoporphyria.
Gee, I always wondered why in such sentences people put words like darkness in quotes. Now I know.
The darkness provides protection for introverts who wish to hide away from people and loud noises. I have always been a person of the darkness.

Rosabella would only barely manage to open her mouth to speak timidly and quietly, "F-father...?"
The father would rush over to his daughter, and reply to her once again, "Thank goodness you're alright... There's a large storm outside, and I was just coming to check up on you. Would you like to come join your sister and I in the main hall?" At this juncture, the father would have already picked up his daughter in the manner that parents pick up their young children, and looked at her as he asked this question.
"No, I'm alright, father..." Rosabella replied, quietly as she usually was this way. "I-I was just reading something, but that thunder ended up stopping my thoughts..." The father would laugh a small bit after she had said this, placing Rosabella down onto her bed, and patting her head a small bit.
"You have always enjoyed studying. I suppose if you don't mind, allow me to know what you're reading up on this time," the father would say, attempting to keep his voice soft and calming, as another small bit of thunder could be heard ringing throughout the castle.
"It was just a book on a small bit of...um...m-magic..." Rosabella spoke with a shyness even unlike herself, showing she already had some knowledge of what was about to happen when her father looked down to her suddenly, his expression changing to be a slight expression of worry and anger hidden deep within the expression.
He'd reply strongly and firmly, "Rosabella! You must stop with that at once!" He'd keep his voice down to a strong whisper, as he seemed to not want to have others within the castle hear.
Rosabella would shake a little more from the sudden firmness and strength of his speaking, wincing a bit, as she'd reply, "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't know, truly! I-I just...saw a lot of my friends using that magic, and I thought I could learn it, too!" She'd also keep her voice down to a slight whisper, as her father made it very clear he didn't need the rest of the household learning about this. His father knelt down in front of his daughter, and placed a hand onto her cheek, looking directly into her eyes with his own desperate ones.
"Rosabella, my dear, you mustn't attempt to learn things of that nature. Our family...our family isn't meant for it. YOU are not meant for it, Rosabella. You must believe me when I say this," he said, still in his strong and whispering tone, but now out of desperation and concern rather than anger. The initial anger seemed to have subsided, in fact, from his expression.
Rosabella would nod only a small bit, looking down, her hood covering her eyes, now, as she'd reply, "I understand, father. I'm sorry, I didn't know." His father would respond with a hug around his daughter, taking a few deep breaths as he did so. He was calm, but now most certainly worried for his daughter. All this time he still hadn't seen the book she had managed to pick up, the one she had been studying. Only time would tell if he would find out, now...
I think that's about all I can write on this currently. If you read all this way, thank you, and I hope you enjoyed it.
I’d replace accessories with furnishings, because accessories is broader, but you know furnishings would encompass the furniture and stuff on it.
Your use of “would” is interesting, but may be discomfiting to the reader. It’s possible it would be better to remain very clearly in the past tense without terms unrelated to tense sprinkled in, although that could become a trademark of your writing.
If you’ve not gotten with a writing group or beta reader, you should. I’m an editor of sorts by day and do some beta reading. If you’re serious about writing and getting your work out there, it tends to help writers grow by leaps and bounds; two heads are better than one. And even if you don’t get constructive criticism, you can move on to other people and have your skin thickened in the process.
It’s good that you’re using stuff like this to get inspiration; until you get a habit of writing, inspiration is so fickle and it’s a great idea to draw it to you as often as you can.
Good luck in the future.
Try giving it a cold end
I love the vocal ones more. It gives me the darkest of thoughts. I'll forever love Atrium Carceri
Abandoned but ever forgotten by me. I love music like this. It's so spirt moving.

Can someone send me the link to the video?
Quite frankly speaking, comment surpassed time and space with a strong to the point synopsis. Devastating. +1
for lazy people as you one
Why are you even here you look like you listen to Taylor swift and mainstream country music get out
listening to this is better than watching most movies today.
Been enjoying this mix for a couple of years now. I'm glad it came back up in my feed
I don't know why but, i really love listening to this kind of music
I think this is my medicine.💕
Great comment
Something is lurking, dark and mysterious. Could it be dangerous or could it be in mourning over days long passed? The longer you listen to this music the more you hear and feel a sense of overwhelming presence around you as if all the memories whether good or bad come flooding back to the beginning of your mind, creating a maze of happiness and sorrow. Close your eyes, feel the music take you to another place where your thoughts can wander into an eternal tomorrow of the once was or could have been. The history of you or those whom you've read will feed the slightly darker tone making the music come alive with each note.
I love this music
This kind of creepy music keep me calm when I am anxious and it is the fuel for my book. Thank you!
This is so great for my illustration designs. I'm into the macabre style of drawing and THIS... is the holy grail for letting the imagination flow with ideas. Thankyou SO much!! It's so beautiful and atmospheric.
I agree - I'm an artist. Even more, I'm a successful artist. I have NO UNSOLD art laying around . Everything I draw or paint sells. I'm often asked. "How do you do it? What is your "Secret"? What is the "Trick" to being a successful artist.?
Every art student wants to know this.
I will tell you, now.
It's simple.
There is no "trick" to being a sucessful artist.
No magic secret.
It's just hard work. Lot's of hard work.
That's the big secret answer.
I toil full-time, nearly every-day, 8 to 10 hours day ...in my art-studio making ART. If I'm not at an art opening in a gallery, I'm in my studio. Every day I'm sketching, drawing, inking, working on the computer, but mostly standing before an easel... painting on a canvas.
I guarantee 100% If you worked hard at your art, trying to make it the very best art your can ( no short cuts ) for 8 to 10 hours, every day for 1 year… by the end of that year you would be making a living selling in an art gallery. Period.
The secret is 99.9% of people don't want to work that hard.
So they never become successful artists.
The best music I found to work to is AMBIENT and Classical. The hypnotic rhythms slow the monkey-mind down, get the left and right side of the brain in sync, and that's when the imagination and the creative flow start to happen. That's when the best art is made…. after hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years of hard work.
That's how ART is made.
Old-Man Parker ehm
lone forgotten herald stumbles upon the temple of worship, gathered dark clouds and the croak of crows, only to find beams of stained glass and an omnius sound and the reminiscent song of the choir once sang, he bows one last time for his king and the saints that once gave him hope ...
I've been using this as background ambience for a horror segment in my Dungeons and Dragons campaign and it's really elevated the scare factor for my players. Hell, I listen to it to set the mood while planning that stuff and it even creeps me out! Thanks for posting this.
In this world, where there is light, there will always be shadow. It’s never the darkness that scares or frightens us. It’s what lurks within that does. Sometimes there is no monster, no Boogeyman lurking within the inky blackness. Sometimes the darkness within ourselves, that demon, that darker half that waits patiently within all, is what scares us the most. Temper it. Control it. Fight it. But most of all, be one with it and the light. But never run from it. Because as there is light, there is shadow, and a shadow will follow wherever you go.
I like your philosophy.
Debra Nelson thank you.
Amen, brother.
Thank you truly.
@@dudecicero Amen indeed.
ah this sounds like the sweet bitter taste of Nostalgia, bring me back to my slumber, my dreams of places dark and forboding, it's denizens equally wondrous and horrifying. And if I'm lucky enough, may I never wake-up again.
I imagine one of my ancestors, exploring a long forgotten castle in Ireland or Scotland. I, and many other people who listen to these, have a strange fascination with derelict worlds.
If you are READING this message I WISH you to Recieve whatever it is that you long for, and everything you need. I wish you much love, luck & success in all you do. 🙏🏻❤️
Perfect accompaniment for reading serious books. been diving into some philosophy and Jordan Peterson and this stuff is so fitting its almost as if I'm floating adrift on a cloud, being transported through to another dimension. Awesome work. So happy I decided to search dark ambient and clicked the link with a creepy picture. Thank you for what you do
@39:21 got a familiar vibe with Lut Gholein soundtrack...(Diablo II)...
i've been listening to this all day since I found it because it's just really lovely ambient music. it's eerie but in a lovely way, like warm sunlight in an abandoned building's window that makes it feel less scary
studying to this music beside the window. writing with my right hand and doing gryphon rolls on my left hand, and this music makes me feel composed. thanks for this.
This is truly enigmatic.
you are truly edgy as fuck
Lest forget you did click this video
Today i learn a new word :) thanks
... or is it?
thats not the best word. in fact that word makes no sense here.
THE HALLS PRONOUNCED ;
A SENTIMENTAL TOUCH.
LITTLE CARVINGS CUT LIKE
SHAVED ICE. AMONG THE
WINDOW PANES.
SUCH BEAUTY
SO DYNAMIC
THE ARCHES TELL A
STORY.
WHEN DARKNESS
KISSED THE LIGHT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH HARMONY.
A DANCE
BEYOND TIME ITS SELF.
I love such melodic dark ambient. Can you recommend me more of this, not just "hum and buzz"-music, but with all those melodies and keyboard instruments?
Maybe the Sabled Sun - Signals series: cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/signals-iv-v-vi
if you haven't already, try exploring some of Akira Yamaoka's music. he composes the music for the Silent Hill games and it's truly mesmerizing!
look up Peter Gundry composer he has hour long videos of music like this
Give Amber Asylum a try.
Dantrag123 burzum
The transition at 1:44 really opened my mind up to a vast atmosphere. I am sincerely never one to comment, however, felt the need to simply say thank you & how much I appreciate this & show a little bit of love, light & respect...^ Pulchritudinous ^ ... it means absolutely exquisite 12:23 .
Person: What type of music inspires you?
Me: It's complicated.
Best response ever...
Nekrosis is the type of gothic song I've been trying to find for years... absolutely stunning
This is perfect for my DND session and for reading H. P. Lovecraft !!
Thank you for removing all of the ads. It's lovely.
Loving this, especially Metatron Omega.
35.20 love it..crushed bits and when the drums start with this whistle sound..perfect
I'm getting some serious Silent Hill vibes from the track Dancing with the Ghost by Phonothek(starts at 27:04). Very creepy, yet very beautiful. This track and the other tracks from this collection create the perfect ambience for me to write in. Thank you, Cryo Chamber!
This is so beautiful ! Mostly Nekrosis, literally goosebumps.
Very good work ! Thank you so much :)
I could sleep to this
Saya baca buku tajuk ablaasa dia suruh layan dgan lagu ni .. seramm 😭
Playing Bloodborne while listening to this. Relaxing.
I find beauty in darkness like this , great video posted @CyromChamber
Ah, so this is the famed workout music for snails.
Where did this meme originate from?
I want to know it too
HealyHQ haha 😄
@Aggressive Tubesock calm your tubes.
:3
@@bradadult5290 Well yes, really. it seems super random
The background picture is Gloucester Cathedral for anyone wondering
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, tapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor, " I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in a bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
Presently to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
Merely this, and nothing more."
Out into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.
wow, Emily Dickinson has got nothing on you. I wanna read more, what else did you write?
and we are back for a final year of studying - this will be a major help! thank you for creating this videos
Very dark and relaxing compilation...10 out of 10
Just found your channel and already subscribed. These playlists of so many different styles are exactly what I need for writing on my stories or painting. Music really impacts the way I express myself and my emotions. Thank you for your amazing work, you're not only helping me, but at least hundreds of thousands of other people all around the world!
35:15 An abandoned city with bones scattered across for miles. Blinding sun, yet it is below zero degrees. Mist everywhere.
This is exactly what I was looking for! What a perfect writing soundtrack for a infamous and forgotten land... The Mog Brush.
I think these songs are all so alluring and beautiful!
Came here for the snails, stayed because my soul left me to haunt the old house I grew up in where only memories live now.
This greatly fits the dark academia aesthetic 🖤 Listening while studying
I search for a lot of this sort of music and THIS is the best I've found.
Perfect for reading a thriller book or any sorts of book of creepiness.
Mahmux , very good point , yeah i think this is perfect reading music , its non obtrusive, and no lyrics.
it stays beautifully anchored in the background if set at a moderate volume.
The Monk, I guess?
music is my escape me
That’s exactly what I listen to this for. 😂 I’m only just edging into creepy books, so I didn’t have anything to listen to like I do for other genres. I love the internet. 😁
There is so much beauty to be found in the darkness. ♥
apparently this is good workout music for pet snails! I'll look into making the ones in my garden get shredded with this!!!
I use these tracks as background when reading books. Please keep making them.
honestly the 3rd song is calming
love the picture of the video as well
Only fellow children of darkness will understand how soothing this is.
Hello 📿⚖️🗝
Lol ok
I am one of them. *I think it’s lovely*
I love Atrium Carceri's "them". I'm sad and I like it. This music help me. My dark side. Love Cryo Chamber. Need it
When you listen this music, you can feel the darkness through of this. You feel like everything is death around you in this music.
The first track plus this image gives off the feeling as if something is fundamentally wrong with the place. That actually terrified me the first time I heard it.
...I can't stop playing Nekrosis on repeat for my D&D sessions. It conveys an emotion of peace, but in an "eye of the storm" kind of way. The worst is yet to come.
I love it too. For me, it is bittersweet, yet it sounds so creepy to me in a good way!
Just listen to this before sleeping, gives you so much vibes. To me I felt like falling into the endless pit much like alice in the wonderland. Not knowing what will happen or who is there. But I know Im not alone. Like someone from the parallel world is trying to reach to me as I sink deeper into the darkness.
At some point I felt I was in a war between two countries fighting each other as the music started challenging the background sound. Mysterious and Adventerous feelings I get from listening to this.
this ones my favourite, love the voice starting around 35:20 as well! nice work
I just use this for doing homework. It's not boring music, which helps me do work more.
