Step into the depths of an uncharted journey with DUGA-1’s debut album, Abyss, a dark space ambient piece that oscillates between melancholic tranquility and haunting discomfort. dark drones, hazy textures, and fragments of subtle melodies guide you through a labyrinth of introspection.

“As I descended further into the depths, the rhythmic hum grew louder, reverberating through the dense air and resonating with an otherworldly energy. It seemed to penetrate every inch of the abyss, reflecting endlessly on the metallic structure beneath the planet’s surface. The ancient tunnel glimmered with an ethereal glow, its iron skin adorned with intricate patterns that whispered tales of forgotten technology.

“Drawing closer to the source of the soft radiance, a sudden shift in the air sent shivers down my spine. The subdued construct seemed to awaken, responding to my presence with a tangible pulse. For a brief moment, the faint hum ceased, only to be replaced by an eruption of dissonance and chaos, an earsplitting symphony that assaulted my senses.

“Caught off guard, my vision blurred, and consciousness wavered as I struggled to grasp my surroundings. Gasping for air, I found myself entangled in a momentary abyss, suspended between the echoes of the cacophony and the endless void that awaited me.”
