I started Radix Tenebris to showcase albums that give you a nostalgic feeling while having a retrospective. This week’s albums continue the journey into the abyss of deep melancholic sounds. Each track serves as a haunting echo of memories long past, evoking emotions that linger in the shadows of the mind. From ethereal ambience to somber melodies, these albums immerse listeners in a realm where time seems to stand still, allowing reflection upon the complexities of existence.

Radix Tenebris, meaning ‘Root of Darkness’ in Latin, symbolizes the exploration of the profound depths of human experience, where the music becomes a conduit for delving into the shadows of our souls.

I added the list of the albums I have played so far so you can research on your own about the genre and style of music. They are eclectic and all over the place, but each one of them gives you this ethereal feeling.
