Notes
Packaged in a jewel case with an illustrated 4-page booklet that includes credits, notes, and release information.
"Heresy is the culmination of work carried out from 1987 to 1989 and utilises subterranean location recordings originated within crypts, caverns, mines, deep shelters and catacombs together with material of a seismic and volcanic origin. The work also takes advantage of psycho-acoustic phenomena and the physical effects of low frequency information."
Post Production Processing at Studio 47.

Reviews
If you ask someone where and when dark ambient started, chances are high they will be pointing fingers towards Heresy.
Such a question is really open to interpretation, and it's obviously not for me to decide whether Heresy would be the 100% accurate answer, but it's fairly safe to say that it's one of the founding elements of the genre. No point disputing this, even if Brian Williams himself does not like the term.
It's a really good listen.- we're fast approaching the 30th year anniversary deadline...does anyone have any info or details about the rumour of reissuing this on vinyl?
For its 30th anniversary in 2020 'Heresy' will FINALLY see its vinyl release premiere!
Rumour has it that this beauty is getting the vinyl treatment in 2020 to coincide with the 30th anniversary.- Maybe the most important and influential dark ambient record of all time. Sublime.

HERESY (Soléilmoon SOL 9 CD) CD 64m
THE MONSTROUS SOUL (Side Effects DFX 14) CD 55m
The music of Lustmørd has certainly moved a long way since his early harsh "industrial" albums. Lustmørd music may still be dark, mysterious and haunting, yet the harsh and extreme edges have been replaced by equally unnerving depth and eerie presence. Like SPK, Nocturnal Emissions, Sleep Chamber, et al, the Lustmørd sound has matured and moved into this new sub-genre of electronic music, whatever one could call it: "Gothic Electronic"? "Post-Industrial Classical"?! A fresh inventive music, ideal as a counterpoint to the sweeter new-age, it is fascinating for its texture, sound-patterns, and utterly vivid atmosphere.
Of these two new albums, HERESY is probably the most immediate and accessible, being atmospheric, otherworldly and vaguely melodic. A kind of synth music on the darker side. THE MONSTROUS SOUL, as the title suggests, is concerned with devilry, evil spirits, etc., and is decidedly much more menacing. Some of the tracks feature snippets of text from films, some of it from "The Exorcist" I think, these texts fortify the concept of the album making it even more a menacing affair.
review by Alan Freeman (Audion #22. July 1992)- Great dark-ambient album. A classic.
P.S. If you struggle to discern the words in Part VI, it says "Dark unbottomed infinite abyss". Upon the first listen I thought it was some phrase in Latin.
