From the late ’80s to the early ’00s, Sweden’s Cold Meat Industry (CMI) established a reputation as one of the world’s pre-eminent sources for dark music (e.g., dark ambient, power electronics, death industrial). In the wake of its 2013 dissolution, two labels have stepped in to fill the void: France’s Cyclic Law, which has released music from previous CMI stalwarts like Desiderii Marginis and Raison d’être, and Oregon’s Cryo Chamber, the focus of this month’s playlist.

Launched by Simon Heath, who also released several albums on CMI under the Atrium Carceri moniker, Cryo Chamber has been steadily releasing stellar dark ambient and related genres since 2011. Heath, who oversees the label’s artwork and design while also releasing music as Atrium Carceri and Sabled Sun, has created a truly consistent catalog of artists, some of whom have also collaborated with each other.
