We are very pleased to have received a review of “Fissures’ from the always excellent Hypnagogue Music Reviews site. Describing it as “a stunning density of isolationist ambient sound, chillingly cold and marginally disturbing”, reviewer John Shanahan writes an insightful and thoughtful piece that nicely captures the essence of “Fissures“. Thanks John!
In addition to the Hypnagogue review site, be sure to check out John’s excellent Podcast as well…
We’ve received word that the Steven Severin show at the Drake Underground on August 28th (and the rest of his North American tour) has been canceled for personal reasons.
We are thrilled to announce that Kalte will be opening for Steven Severin’s performance of Music for Silents featuring Jean Cocteau’s “The Blood of a Poet” at The Drake Underground in Toronto, Ontario on Sunday August 28th.
Our good friend Liisa Ladouceur will be doing a Q and A with Severin at the show and DJ Darkness Visible will be spinning Darkwave throughout the evening.
We hope you’ll be able to join us for this very special event, please visit the Drake website or the Facebook event page for more information.

Dearest kaltenfriends,
We’ve spent most of the summer hard at work in our studio space in Antarctica and now we are very pleased to announce a new project which we will be presenting as SubZeroArts.
“The Sound is Watching You” is a multimedia soundart installation that will be part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2011 on October 1st in Toronto, Ontario. We’re very excited about this opportunity and we encourage you to visit the SubZeroArts site to learn more about the installation and to find out how you can help make “The Sound is Watching You” happen.
Needless to say, you’ll be hearing more from us over the next few weeks as things begin to take shape…

We’d like to thank the Agniworld and Darkfloor sites for their reviews of “Fissures” and for their support of our work.
We’d also like to thank CKUT in Montreal for their continued radio support of “Fissures”, and we were thrilled to see that it’s currently the number one release in the station’s RPM charts(!) as of April 26th.
Thanks also go out to Dhomochev for making this fan video for our track Svalbard from our “Glaciations” album. We’re very flattered that our work has inspired you.

We are very pleased to announce that we will be performing live at the Ambient Ping in Toronto on Tuesday March 8th to celebrate the release of our upcoming album “Fissures”. We will be performing a set drawn from the mysteries of the Hadopelagic Zone, cold music heard in inhospitable spaces, ominous and dark tones inspired by massive pressures and arctic depths. Our good friend URM and guests will also be performing that night along side a premiere screening of “Luminations”. There may also be cookies.
We hope that you’ll be able to join us.
