At over six thousand metres below sea level, the Hadopelagic Zone is the deepest layer of the ocean, an area where water
pressure is over a hundred times stronger than on the surface and where light cannot penetrate. For their latest album "Fissures",
Kalte explore the darkness that permeates this inhospitable space, music inspired by massive pressures and arctic depths, heavy
sounds from unknown sources, ominous and dark tones never heard outside of this watery abyss. There is the familiar impression of
wide space, isolation and a pale glow of blue that has dominated much of the Canadian duo's work. By use of a multilayer technique,
organic sounds are gathered like matching puzzle pieces to a new virtual scenery that changes its characteristics with each
additional dimension.

The release is available as both single mp3 download and entire package including artwork. Some browsers may automatically play the file rather than offering a dialogue what to do with the latter, so in this case downloads may not be that straight forward. In case your favourite browser happens to exhibit exactly that behaviour, simply right click the link, and then a context menu should appear that offers something like "Save as" or "Save location as".
