Style: Dark ambient
Label [Cat. #]: Cyclic Law [32nd Cycle]

Second in a series of collaborations between Cyclic Law and Ewers Tonkunstis also a re-issue of a long sold out dark ambient milestone – the debut Northaunt album which first saw the daylight back in 2001 on Polish label Fluttering Dragon. "The Ominous Silence" is more musical album than its followers, with a lot of piano, guitar and synth melodic parts like in the classical tracks “De Sorte Trær” and “Pain Is Better”, but the typical Northaunt elegiac melancholy and dark gloomy nordic ambient soundscapes are already here.
This edition has completely new artwork, new mastering and a bonus track, it is limited to 470 copies and comes in a stylish monochrome mini LP-like embossed cover with inner sleeve and three inserts.
