This concept album explores ecstasy and death as two extreme conditions of human existence, closely examining the dynamic relationship between these two opposites. Each artist contributed two tracks—one representing Ecstasy, the other Death—before exchanging them to reinterpret and reshape each other’s work. The result is a captivating fusion of individual visions, blending seamlessly into a singular, immersive experience. Rooted in dark ambient soundscapes, the album masterfully blends ominous drones, classical orchestration and analogue synths to craft an atmospheric odyssey through the depths of the human psyche. A deeply evocative exploration of the human condition, it invites listeners to confront the intensity of life’s most profound extremes. Composed, arranged and recorded by Phragments & New Risen Throne 2023-2024 Mastered by Robin Storey Cover Design by Nenad Brankovic © Phragments © New Risen Throne © Winter-Light 2025 REVIEWS: 'This album is the result of a collaboration between two veterans of the Dark-Ambient genre: Phragments (Slovakia) and New Risen Throne. Together, they have channeled their creativity around two extreme poles of human experience: ecstasy on the one hand, and death on the other. What emerges is a work with strikingly visual and evocative qualities—an essential criterion, in my view, when it comes to this kind of music. This album is an exceptionally successful collaboration, one that begs for a worthy sequel in the future.' (Side-Line Reviews) https://winter-light.bandcamp.com/album/between-ecstasy-and-death
