Letum

The ideas that comprise Letum have existed for a long time, but it has only been in recent years that these ideas have manifested themselves in official CD releases. Letum is the dark ambient project of Mattias Henriksson of Lindesberg, Sweden. The music of Letum is known for its haunting atmosphere and serene soundscapes, but also for the fairly short length of the songs relative to most artists in the genre.
