about

This EP sheds light on the events of how The Derelict came to be.

The Space Jockey originates from a planetoid that is now dead, and its civilization has been gone for perhaps a million years. At some point in time, a cataclysm causes the extermination of the adults of this certain race leaving no one to tend and nurture the young. The fatal flaw of this species appears to be the biological necessity of over-exploitation of the biosphere.

Before his race died out, One adult was the only survivor of a reconnaissance mission aboard a juggernaut, tucked his load with a large number of eggs that can remain inactive for incredible lengths of time even in the most adverse conditions. Inactive, waiting for the sensation of something warm...

Something happens in the cargo bay and the lonely astronaut becomes a victim of his cargo. Unable to pilot the juggernaut correctly the unearthly space traveler crash-lands to a nearby storm-shrouded planet in proximity and activates a warning signal, Do not attempt to investigate this source.

"Do not land here, repeat, stay away from this planet for your own safety."

"Ripley:
Ash, that transmission - Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S."

"Dallas: [observing the Space Jockey] Alien life form. Looks like it's been dead a long time. Fossilized. Looks like it's growing out of the chair.

[climbs up for a closer look]

Dallas: Bones are bent outward, like he exploded from inside."

" H.R. Giger "In his seat in the centre of the turntable is the pilot, eight metres (26 feet) tall." (Giger's Alien p34, 25 July, 1978, )

My personal favorite of the Lovecraft series. This piece feels so calm, eerie, and mysterious. The slight plucking of strings is off set by the ritual drums and consistent reverb. Amazing combination! theeverwanderer

I listen to a lot of dark ambient. It rarely gets to me, but hours of The Rosenshoul's albums have me thinking my destiny is trapped forever between the walls of some decaying manor. hello swirl
