powerful and seductive calming effects from a fantastic variety of sounds. I love the effect this music has on me!

About this album
The ninth Auricular album, Zelfmoord (which is Dutch for "suicide", or so I've been told), is a follow-up/remastering of the darkest album previously, Truncatus Omnino.
The same type of story applies: the album tells the story of a deranged pedophile who rapes virgin girls. In this case, however, the story is more shown from the viewpoint of the girl, and more specifically a very young girl who experiences this more than once in her life before she is even 10. The album toward the end takes a turn back to the freak who did this to her, who ends up taking his own life. All is "told" through the droning soundscapes and lyric-less music.
This album is not for the weak and is meant to be extremely dark, very disturbing, and unsettling.

That has to be the grimmest preamble I've ever read as the concept of any album. However, it is a subject to be adressed, as it has been since the beginning of time. A friend of mine calls it inescapable 'animalism'. I call it at least, a lack of control. The tricky thing is that there is nothing that can satisfy the natural balance of things after such trauma, not even the self-sacrifice of the offender. Anyway, off soapbox.
I love the album anyway, and glad to see it's presence on the commons. Nice to see the talented Auricular circulating amongst us, as well as Mssrs Rhys & Fulber. Makes it more like home, and strangely, as transcendental as your music is, listening to it here in this virtual environment, is quite a grounding. Nice to see you, nice to hear you.
What I will say is that I liked the album anyway for exactly the reasons you stated. Now I'm in the know, it elucidates and releases a part of me into the wild yonder. Thanks.
Bon album

I have to agree with Ivan1984, this is one of the most disturbing description I've ever read for a music. I'm not even sure it is a good idea to write things like that, not because of the subject, but because I like to make my own story while I listen to that kind of music.
Anyhow, the album is great, very dark and heavy and that's exacly what I'm looking for at the moment. Too bad I know what this is about, I can't try to imagine it, that would be so wrond :X
I guess it's my first music spoiler !!
Good album

This album is pure dark magic, I was disappointed to see the first track "Prolegomenon", the creepiest, missing from this download. I did manage to find it in my old back ups, but new listeners are missing a key part of the album. That is the only reason it's not a 10.
Very good

This album is the one i am searching for years!
It never crosses the line but stays interesting and dark. I like all the songs of the album so no special favorite here. No need to prelisten if you are into real dark atmosphere's wihout basslines!
