Reviews for Dead Space Chamber Music debut self-titled album:

"We were thrilled to recieve this album. Dead Space Chamber Music are doing something visionary, unique and beautiful. What I imagine the more halcyon moments of Diamanda Galas's dreams must sound like" Cyprianus Augustus of The Unquiet Meadow, Asheville FM, USA.

"Playing the best possible music, the most beautiful, inspiring and stimulating music, I have a shot at doing that every week and I came up trumps this week: this is by Dead Space Chamber Music... get a dictionary, look up the word beautiful, if it hasn't got Dead Space Chamber Music, Flow My Teares next to it, then in a spontaneous conflagration ritual: burn it. Because it has misunderstood the word altogether. This is absolutely gorgeous, really really beautiful" - Phil Vickery, InTune BCFM Bristol 93.2FM

Praise for Dead Space Chamber Music:

"Dead Space Chamber Music are a band that will reward your attention in ways you never thought possible." Jonathon Kardasz, Bristol 24/7 full review: https://www.bristol247.com/culture/music/review-bonnacons-of-doom-the-cube/

“… Beautiful performances like ceremonial sonic-arcs…Neoclassical pitch-dark.” The Cube, Bristol

“Gossamer, hypnotic, yet darkly lucid neo-classical drone-folk out of Bristol, England, the likes of which I've not quite heard. Under their influence, the listener enters an altogether ancient, and post-modern apocalyptic ritual. One where rapturous, rural incantations and cosmic drones combine to usher us back to eldritch places that can only have existed in aeons past (or future,) or in some dusky, uninhabited theatre of the Mind. This is the perfect soundtrack to a World tumbling toward some dire cosmic end, packed with just enough "hope" to inspire us toward new beginnings." - The Unquiet Meadow, Asheville FM (USA)

Bio:

We are Dead Space Chamber Music, a dark ambient / ritual / gothic / ethereal / neoclassical trio of cello, guitar and voice, based in Bristol, UK.

Inspired by the focused intensity of ‘chamber music’, we channel and expand it in both musical and performative scope, creating a distinctivley emotive, transportive and atmospheric live experience. Pieces move between shimmering veils of fine textured sound, to heavily saturated effect-laden drones incorporating finely crafted treatments, often infused with vocal field-recording based sound-scapes.
