Buried Finds #1
Welcome to the first installment of the new column, Buried Finds. Here, we look backward in time, digging deeper into the silt. I’ll recommend a few older releases in each post.
Unearthed #17
A Woman Under the Influence by Her Menacing Pet is not only a great dark ambient album with its disturbing drones and haunting sounds, but it’s also available as a name-your-price digital album and includes a copy of Avocado 1970, a DIY digital zine focused on dark ambient/experimental music, underground labels, and visual art. And if that’s still not enough, your payment for the album will be donated to Farmaste Animal Sanctuary, a farm animal rescue operation.
Female Producers in Dark Ambient
I realized that I wasn’t paying enough attention to actively seeking out and promoting female producers in this genre. This post is an attempt to remedy that – please listen to these artists and support them. Art always needs every voice, every viewpoint, and every experience to remain relevant to our lives.
Unearthed #16
Dronny Darko’s new album, Dark Shadows Across a Disordered Mind, was released on February 10. Full of drifting drones and isolationist soundscapes, it is my first recommendation among recent releases.
“Passing Through Five Portals”
New Risen Throne Album Review and Interview
Review: The Journey to Reach the Fathers
The album was released on December 19, 2025, and I’ve essentially been living with it ever since: listening while commuting, working, or studying, and several times just lying in bed, half-asleep. I’ve had a lot going on in my life recently, and this album – with the journey implied by its title – has consistently helped my troubled mind find relief.
Unearthed #15
New releases
Let’s kick things off with two standout industrial albums. First up is WIELORYB with God's Final Breath. It opens with a heavy rhythmic noise track and never lets up. It’s as harsh and pounding as a machine, backed by a dense, dark atmosphere.
Unearthed #14
New releases
Welcome to the first Unearthed of 2026 to feature albums actually released this year.
Unearthed #13 (part 2)
Okay, so this took much longer than expected. Sorry for the delay – exam period, job searching, and other stuff left me with very little time and energy to write posts. I’ll pick up the rhythm in February…
So the first post of 2026 is actually the last one of 2025. You can read part 1 here if you missed it.
Unearthed #13 (part 1)
Due to the high number of releases (and skipping last week’s Unearthed), my recommendations for the end of the year will be split into two parts. Here is part 1.
“Stepping out of the fortress of randomness” – Entrópia Architektúra interview
Ez az interjú magyarul is olvasható.
I’d like to expand Hypogeum with more categories in the future, moving away from the blog concept toward a webzine format. The first step on this path is doing interviews. I’m happy to announce that the first one is complete, featuring the band Entrópia Architektúra whose new album ‘Kapu’ was recently released. Csaba (vocals, shakuhachi, sampler), Tamás (guitar, persian sitar, shamisen), Dani (bass, synthesizers) and Marci (vocals, iron, percussion, noise) answered my questions from among the members.
(The photos were taken on November 15th, during the pre-release listening session for the new album.)
