Dark ambient project Dead Melodies debutes on Cryo Chamber with album ‘Legends of the Wood’ – preview available here

The UK dark ambient artist Tom Moore aka Dead Melodies has released his Cryo Chamber debut with “Legends of the Wood”. The album features lush field recordings, detailed soundscapes and melancholic melodies. In short, a nice addition to the collection of high fidelity dark ambient fans.
It’s the 3rd album for Moore who previously (in 2016 that is) released the albums “Parallel Existence” and “Subtle Imperfections”.
Active since 2006 Moore’s diverse musical catalogue started with Indigolab which resulted in ten albums and EPs plus a large amount of collaborations but nearly always featuring his trademark acoustic guitar. In late 2014 he switched focus to explore the ambient musicworld. Since the project’s inception, he has released 3 EPs and two full length albums, the latter through Norwegian net label, Sparkwood Records, who also host Moore’s side project, ambient post-rock band, Understated Theory.
You can preview the 8-track album “Legends of the Wood” below and download it straight from Bandcamp, or order the album housed in a 6-panel digipak, also available via Bandcamp.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
