Cucurbitophobia – Autumnal Apparitions
relaxing musical score
A very atmospheric and relaxing musical score. This is dark but also calming.


It isn’t easy to compare to the typical music we review as it is on in those genres.


There are some spooky melodies and subtle instrument sounds, but all are done in a way that absorbs the atmosphere o e album.


This is an excellent album if you want to unwind before bed and get off the day’s stress.

Cucurbitophobia, known for their dark ambient, horror-inspired masterpiece releases has just unveiled their latest release in time for the Halloween season.

Autumnal Apparitions is a collection of works inspired by the Autumn season. A rustic, nostalgic, melancholy ambiance is prevalent throughout the album, portraying an ebb and flow between dark, experimental dissonance and lighter, sadder, ambient minor-key driven moods.

Autumnal Apparitions treads more into atmospheric music territory. Unlike previous Cucurbitophobia releases, guitars take a backseat this time around and allow percussion and keyboard textures to be in the forefront. While plenty of delightfully eerie horror elements remain present, Autumnal Apparitionscomes forth with more mournful, reflective sensibilities rather than harsh, startling bursts of fear.

Cucurbitophobia, bekannt für ihre dunklen Ambient-, Horror-inspirierten Meisterwerkveröffentlichungen, hat gerade ihre neueste Veröffentlichung rechtzeitig zur Halloween-Saison enthüllt.

Autumnal Apparitions ist eine Sammlung von Werken, die von der Herbstsaison inspiriert sind. Ein rustikales, nostalgisches, melancholisches Ambiente ist im gesamten Album weit verbreitet und zeigt eine Ebbe zwischen dunkler, experimenteller Dissonanz und helleren, traurigeren, ambienten, von Moll-Key-getriebenen Stimmungen.

Herbstliche Erscheinungen treten mehr in atmosphärisches Musikgebiet ein. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Cucurbitophobia-Veröffentlichungen treten Gitarren diesmal in den Hintergrund und lassen Percussion- und Keyboard-Texturen im Vordergrund stehen. Während viele herrlich unheimliche Horrorelemente vorhanden bleiben, entzicht Autumnal Apparitions eher mit traurigeren, reflektierenden Sensibilitäten als mit harten, verblüffenden Furchtungsausbrüchen.
