The dominant is a haunting underwater environment, as it would be perceived from inside the submerged vessel, propellers slowly whispering in the water, distant crew communications, and at times you can almost here the bulkheads straining. The other half consists of more traditional ambient industrial requiems, some exploring sanctity and mourning.
I believe a concept such as this one has to live up to rather high expectations, and in general Rukkanor deliver. There's the occasional filler track, but clearly a lot of effort has gone into this one.
