Runes Order, the long-running Italian dark ambient project of Claudio Dondo, has partnered with Regen Graves to release their second collaborative album ‘Escape’ on German label Dark Vinyl Records, arriving July 17, 2026 on CD. The record blends Berlin School synthesizer aesthetics—characterized by minimalist repetition, extended soundscapes, and analog textures—with horror and thriller soundtrack influences rooted in Italian composers Fabio Frizzi and Claudio Simonetti. The thirteen-track effort features guest appearances from Argento of black metal act Spite Extreme Wing, members of Abysmal Grief and Wuornoss Aileen, and saxophonist Alessandro Casoni. Following their 2023 collaboration ‘Falsche Fragen’, this project continues Dondo’s three-decade exploration of cosmic ambient, drawing spiritual lineage from Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze while grounding itself in Genoa’s dark music scene.
