VVITCHMÖÖN

A 40+ minute black ambient composition — a descent in six forms, from the first stirrings of spectral light to utter unmaking. Each movement marks a rite within the nocturnal passage: the summoning, the transformation, and the surrender to nothingness.

I. Witchmoon
II. Specters
III. Fugue
IV. The Abyss
V. The Inferno
VI. Damnation

All sounds and atmosphere manipulated by the Boreal Specter — forged in solitude and illuminated only by lunar light.

The debut release from SPECTRAL FIRS is now streaming in full on Bandcamp!

Born from the mist-drenched forests and forgotten peaks of North Idaho, this album serves as a dirge for lost kingdoms—buried beneath stone, lichen, and root. It moves between raw, improvised passages and solemn, deliberate compositions, with dungeon synth drifting through the fog like a half-remembered dream.

Steeped in sorrow and the slow decay of grandeur, it evokes a realm where ancient empires fade into shadow, hidden beneath endless rain.

All music forged in the twilight realm by the Boreal Specter.

MMXXV Black Cavern Artist Photo

Captured years ago by a friend during our full traverse of Great Sand Dunes National Park, from south to north. It was a demanding journey—both physically and mentally—but one I often look back on with deep fondness.

A few copies of the latest Black Cavern release are still available—and you can also stream it now on Bandcamp!

Thrilled to announce our first collaboration with one of my favorite artists from the Cascadian realm, Kharsaanu Saquutu, on the release of Kadingir.

This dark, droning forest synth album weaves dense, immersive layers of atmosphere with themes drawn from ancient Sumerian mythology. Mysterious and otherworldly, Kadingir evokes a forgotten world where primeval nature and mythic gods intertwine, crafting an unsettling yet deeply immersive sonic journey into the unknown.

Now available on BigCartel!

I’m pleased to announce that Black Cavern’s Mātu Šaplītu (Meditations) is now available for streaming on Bandcamp.

This release is a fresh reinterpretation of the original debut — a deep, immersive journey inspired by ancient Near Eastern mythology. It features three "meditations" from the original B-side of the first pressing, along with a new, previously unreleased fourth track influenced by Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

I’m really proud of how it turned out and hope you enjoy the experience as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Beyond excited to announce the debut of SPECTRAL FIRS – The Mist-Cloaked Kingdom of the North. This is my new project exploring a more traditional dungeon synth sound, though you'll still hear traces of the ambient elements from my past work.

Inspired by dark fantasy, ancient ruins, and the misty mountains and fog-drenched rainforests of North Idaho, the album blends raw, improvised moments with more carefully composed pieces. It’s also, unapologetically, a bit of a tribute to the legendary

Available now on BigCartel, with streaming coming soon to Bandcamp. I’m so excited to finally share this with you!

New spells are upon us—three new offerings of dark dungeon music and dark ambient, released in observance of the August full moon. These are not pre-orders and will begin shipping as early as next week.

Endless thanks to everyone for your continued support. Digital versions will be available for streaming in the coming days, along with a few additional items being added to the shop.

As it happens, today also marks my birthday—so consider this a small celebration as well.

SPELL.023 Spectral Fir’s debut, "The Mist Cloaked Kingdom of the North", is a cold descent into forgotten alpine desolation. Inspired by the shadowed forests and stillness of North Idaho’s far north, it conjures a realm where ancient thrones rot beneath lichen and mist. Steeped in dread and high fantasy ruin, its dark dungeon synth echoes with sorrow, silence, and the weight of kingdoms long dead.

SPELL.024 Black Cavern's "Mātu Šaplītu (Meditations)" is a reinterpretation of the original debut—an immersive descent into the mythic underworld, inspired by ancient Near Eastern mythology. This ritual ambient edition exhumes three meditations from the original B-side of the first pressing, now accompanied by a fourth, previously unreleased invocation influenced by Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Together, they summon an atmosphere of solemn decay and aural mysticism.

SPELL.025 Kharsaanu Saquutu - "Kadingir". This dark, droney forest synth album weaves dense layers of atmospheric sound—like mist-shrouded temples hidden beneath towering evergreens. Mysterious and otherworldly, "Kadingir" evokes a forgotten world where primeval nature and mythic gods intertwine, crafting an unsettling yet immersive sonic journey into the unknown.
