Vidna Obmana

An almost his 25 year existency as Vidna Ombana (Dirk Serries) never shied away from challenges, sometimes to the regret of many of his fans, but it’s when he was offered a record deal with the renowned metal label Relapse Records/Release Entertainment Vidna Obmana took his boldest step ever. With his Dante Trilogy he created his most ambitious, daring and unique set of albums which, for good, made him to be one of the most unique voices in the ambient and experimental scene.  

Not only brought he Vidna Ombana to a definite conclusion but executed for him that perfect fusion of everything his project stood for since the first release in 1984. His industrialism, the minimal ambience, the fourth world explorations and his electronic processing experiments went into blender.  Utterly surreal, intense and expansive, the 3 albums Tremor, Spore and Legacy showcase Vidna Ombana at his creative peak while conceptually the trilogy expresses Dirk Serries’ frustration, disappointment and creative turmoil as his role as Vidna Ombana in the ambient scene. 

This trilogy became that end of the road for probably his most critically-acclaimed and world-wide appreciated project but a change was necessary. Having these 3 albums out on Relapse Records/Release Entertainment solidified his connection to the metal and heavier guitar scene and the next chapter in Dirk Serries’ obsessive quest for that sublime in sound and mood was born: fear falls burning.

Now fully remastered, making every complex detail stand out even more, Zoharum is releasing the trilogy as a 3CD set with the related breathtaking photography by Martina Verhoeven. Music that according to Vidna Ombana was especially recorded to experience on a qualitive set of headphones.

Triple release containing three albums: Tremor, Spore, Legacy.
Edition in 8-panel digipack limited to 400 copies.
