about

Ziggurath is back on Unreal Estate Records with his bone-chilling monumental Wintersynth opus “True North”. Leaving the sunlit deserts and lush jungles of his previous albums behind, Ziggurath journeys on into the barren boreal landscapes of the world’s northernmost reaches.

“One of my most prized possessions is a very banged-up vinyl copy of Bo Hansson´s Lord of the Rings that I found in what you call ‘Sperrmüll’ in German - heaps of stuff that people throw out and that block the street until waste collection takes it away. The record was scratched and warped and the melodies seemed to me like faint silhouettes in a snowstorm. You really had to be attentive and search through the noise to enjoy the unearthly quality of the music. For “True North” I tried to reproduce the feeling of listening to that record.” - Ziggurath

To celebrate the release of True North, the digital versions of Ziggurath's first albums are 50% off with codes truenorth (Jungle Majesty) and truenorthtales (Tales From Southern Realms).

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer. Bjorn

An absolute masterpiece in ambient music. The atmosphere exuding from the simple melodies give total peace to the listener and embraces you in that cozy, tender environment of a private study full of knowledge. Amazing work by an amazing artist. Gantris
