Devil’s Breath and Wolfskin Unveil “Unsettling Settlement”
on Sombre Soniks’ Dark Ambient Compilation Vol. 30
Experimental sound project Devil’s Breath has released a new collaborative track titled “Unsettling Settlement”, out now via Sombre Soniks. The piece appears as Track 14 on the label’s long-running Dark Ambient Compilation Series, marking its milestone 30th volume in the 23-track edition.
Teaming up with acclaimed Portuguese act Wolfskin, Devil’s Breath explores a profound and provocative theme at the core of human history: the moment humanity traded movement for possession.
“Unsettling Settlement” meditates on a pivotal shift in early civilization — when nomadic hunter-gatherers chose to settle and claim land. This transition sparked a radical change: food was no longer the measure of personal survival; instead, land became the new currency of power and control.
The track suggests that this turning point marked the beginning of social inequality, territorial conflict, and material obsession — consequences still echoing in modern society through health crises, class divides, and violence.
Musically, Unsettling Settlement is best described as a Drone Noise Ambient piece, infused with Industrial textures and Tribal undertones. The collaboration conjures an atmosphere that is both primordial and foreboding, inviting listeners to confront the uneasy origins of civilization itself.
Unsettling Settlement is available for streaming and purchase via Sombre Soniks:
