Similar to projects like Lull andLustmord , Atrium Carceri uses synthesizers, sound effects, samples from films andanime , piano and other instrumentation to create "slow rhythms, bitter melodies and complex textures" [http://www.gothtronic.com/?page=23&reviews=3432] generally based on themes of desolation, loneliness (especiallysolitary confinement ) and environmental decay.Atrium Carceri has been praised by music critics and embraced by a cult audience for its depth of atmosphere [http://www.maelstrom.nu/ezine/review_iss16_1280.php] [http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/reviews/albums/2-4034_atrium_carceri_kapnobatai.aspx] . As described by one reviewer, "Heath creates a world where time collapses, where the ancient world of conjured spirits, the physical limitations of being all too human, and the infinite outreach of potential futuretech, all coexist."

The project name, "Atrium Carceri", means "prison hall" in Latin - however, "carceri" is in the wrong declension class. The proper name would've been "Atrium Carceris".
