Æthenor
Deep in Ocean Sunk the Lamp of Light is the debut from the trio of Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O)))), Daniel O’Sullivan (Guapo), and Vincent de Roguin (Shora). Taking its title from The Iliad, the music here is deep and cosmic, completely unlike anything you’d expect from such heavyweights. More in the tradition of Nurse With Wound’s "Spiral Insana" or Klaus Schulze’s "Cyborg" than any contemporary trend, the tracks float along in a masterful collage of activity, where careful scene changes highlight O’Sullivan’s classic but artfully placed Rhodes bombs, de Roguin’s organ, and O’Malley’s guitar.

There is more than one artist with this name. 1) Psychonaut was a ritual ambient project formed in 1997.
