about

Arriving on the scene in 1993 with their self-titled demo, Yen Pox
immediately made their presence known with an ability to create
monumental, light devouring soundscapes that transcended all that had come before it. Proceeding releases, including their debut CD, Blood Music, 2000’s New Dark Age, and the collaborative CD with Troum only solidified their standing and reputation. With Between the Horizon and the Abyss just being their first full length recording in over 15 years, Yen Pox will never be accused of being prolific. After all, with the two members spread out between Indiana and Washington State, creating new material doesn't exactly lend itself to convenience. But on the rare occasion that recordings do arise, it’s nothing short of masterful, reminding listeners why they've achieved such notoriety with such a limited discography, and why their recordings are consistently recognized as benchmarks within the dark ambient genre.

Time between releases has been well spent, with the new material
taking the early template and expounding upon it greatly, adding
layers of industrial churn and structure to the infernal kosmische
sprawl they’re so adept at creating. And yet throughout its
entirety, Between the Horizon and the Abyss is remarkably polished and fluid. Within its realm, no seconds feel wasted, and every sound feels purposefully placed, even as it moves and flows in perpetual motion; strains of a distant angelic choirs fall beneath a complex array of arcing tones, liquidous, molten textures, & harrowing orchestral shimmer, with fervent masses of malevolent atmospherics billowing forth in glorious detail.

While this technically falls under the banner of dark ambient, what
Yen Pox has managed to create goes far beyond genre specifications and boundaries, crafting a new benchmark and adding a high water mark to an already stellar discography.

I ended up finding not only a new artist, but a new genre of music I had never heard of. Extremely pleased that I came across this. Ian Vengtasamy

Void

I appreciate the coldly experimental aspects of faith that Atrium Carceri postulates here. What if we plunged a people into endless despair, then offered them glimmers of hope? How would their spirituality develop? And if the answers are unclear this time, we can always just rerun the experiment from the beginning…. Dave Aftandilian
