The Covid-19 pandemic has affected our lives in ways we're yet to comprehend. This 3rd compilation on Social Isolation explores the darker shades of the psyche and our dystopian environment. It also opens a new book and serves as the first chapter to the Social Desolation series of releases. The sounds in this series reflect the themes of depression, sacrifice, corruption, politics, pollution, waste, decay, and fear. The music comes from the realms of dark ambient, ritual ambient, drone, noise, industrial and power electronics. All music in this compilation has been created by artists of Indian origin.
