about

This is music for the deepest of immersions-best experienced while sleeping, studying or working late at night when the rest of the world is slumbering.
Story Arc:
Redemption Protocol
An archival reconstruction from the Null Horizon Transmission Vault
Classification: Ψ / Restricted Access
Date of Original Signal: Unknown
Medium: Encoded audio – composite static / infrasonic bloom / decayed harmonic

Prologue
"If this reaches you, there is still time to make it right."
Recovered from the ruins of the Pale Compression Array, the Redemption Protocol is a sequence of corrupted signals believed to have been initiated as a countermeasure to an extinction-level collapse.
The Overseer — identity unknown — transmitted these messages into the dark, embedding restorative algorithms inside sound.
Whether they succeeded is unknown. What remains is the artifact you now hold: an unbroken chain of frequencies that survived the death of the networks.

Act I — Awakening
The first spark in the ash.

The Precursor Node hums beneath the Archive of the Sleeping Void. For centuries it lay dormant, until the Cathedral of Static’s bells began to toll in fractured harmony.
From the Black Vector Awakening to the first Signal Bleed, the Overseer seeded repair-code into the lattice, coaxing light back into the fractured memory banks.

Act II — Intervention
Fighting the void with the language of light.

Null Horizon was the first to respond — its gap closed by harmonic resonance, pulling wraith engines back from their endless loops.
Through the Protocol of Silence, the Overseer removed corrupted channels, purifying the spectrum.
In the Solar Entropy Bloom, light was recoded into slow pulses that rebuilt the failing relay towers.

Act III — Descent to the Core
To restore the world, you must first descend into its deepest wound.

The Abyssal Index became a map — not of the dead, but of systems still capable of recovery.
The Lament Code was rewritten as a healing sequence, played into the subharmonic layers where damage lingered unseen.
The Sable Heart Core was reignited, sending obsidian pulses into the Choral Collapse to stabilize the fading harmonics.

Act IV — Restoration
The machines remember, and they begin to sing again.

The Orbit of the Dead Machine was reclaimed, its satellites brought back into alignment.
The Black Bloom in the Signal Sea became the center of a growing wave of reactivation.
The Blind Architect Protocol, once a tool of dismantling, was inverted — structures began to rebuild themselves according to ancient blueprints buried in the code.

Act V — The Long Vigil
The world breathes, but the work is not done.

The Final Frequency now carries not a farewell, but a beacon.
The Warden of the Null Sea guards the Ghost Geometry — the mathematical seed of the rebuilt continuum.
In the Frozen Archive, the Phantom Directive waits to be enacted by the next listener.
The Ashen Lexicon closes not with despair, but with a vow:
"We will not fail again."

The Ophanihm
by Silent Deep Ocean

supported by 41 fans who also own “Redemption Protocol”

US Atmospheric Doom / Gothic Metal. What started as a one man, Gregory Ritchey, project & now has the addition of Tehina Spasova (of the excellent project "Destruction Of Orion"). Love the almost operatic vocals at times. Some parts are so haunting they almost hurt me physically to hear initially & then I get that sense of deep catharsis when I exit the other side... :) Truly beautiful! Thanks Greg! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

An album that demands thoughtful listening. Its mood demands you stop, listen, and forget the hustle and bustle for a moment. In return, it will give you a thrilling immersion into the atmosphere of Victorian England. Bravo, Skynbrögð, this darkness beckons us so! Sharoyko Andrey
