At the Call of the Devil's Trumpet

At the Call of the Devil's Trumpet is a 2026 digital album by Polterngeist, a project associated with the Belarusian dark ambient artist Ugasanie. Known for his extensive discography exploring themes of the polar north and desolate landscapes, Ugasanie—the moniker of Pavel Malyshkin—has been a prominent figure in the dark ambient and drone scene since 2010. This release continues the artist's tradition of crafting immersive, texture-heavy soundscapes, utilizing field recordings and ritualistic elements to build a haunting atmosphere. The album title references the Datura plant, often known as the devil's trumpet, hinting at the project's penchant for dark, organic, and ritual-focused sonic exploration. As a digital release, it stands alongside a prolific run of material from the artist throughout 2026, further cementing his reputation for creating cohesive, acousmatic sound continuums. The work reflects the meticulous sound design and deep, resonant drone structures that have become hallmarks of his collaborative and solo output.
