In times like these when every band with (bad) shrieky vocals is sold as Black Metal, but actually just play some weak kindergarden keyboard kitsch, it is far more than a pleasure to discover a band like LUNGORTHIN. LUNGORTHIN hail from Hamburg / Germany and this is already their second album. They definitely know how […]
Lunarsphere is a really new band, founded in 2004, presenting their full-length debut demo CD now. It includes (after a totally unnecessary intro) 9 tracks of melodic Death Metal. And I have to be honest, I have some problems with the record. The first what I recognized is the production. It lacks in power. The […]
This record serves Scandinavian melodic Death Metal, but created in Italy. Normally Italy is well-known for their cheesy symphonic Metal bands, so I was curious about this release. I didn’t know the band before and did not receive any information about them either, so I started a little research in the worldwide web. The band […]
Honestly spoken, I think this will be a hard review for me, because “Intricate Astral Metal” (so tells the label) would never be the type of music I would voluntarily listen to, because this categorization simply does not give a single hint of what the music possibly could sound like and so does not catch […]
I don’t know whether I recall this occasion correctly, but I vaguely remember having witnessed LUNAR ECLIPSE live on stage some time ago somewhere in Oldenburg – my home town. One picture or scenic sequence that somehow got stuck in my mind is the impressive appearance of the vocalist. He kind of contributed this certain […]
At the end of 2006 we got some amazing Black Metal released. It began with Secrets Of The Moon back in September, and continued with their countrymen Lunar Aurora, though the day of release was 8th of January. I got it in early December, so to me it’s still a 2006-album. And in 2007 there […]
Unlike with most of their previous works, LUNAR AURORA’s seventh full-length “Mond” was recorded by a full (four member) line-up this time, while almost all of the band’s last releases exclusively had to be completed by the nucleus of the band, consisting of Whyhrd, Aran and Sindar. But that doesn’t mean that the Bavarian horde […]
If you’re checking out our news section on a regular base you will already be aware of the fact that Germany’s Black Metal horde LUNAR AURORA decided to start up a label on their own after having experienced many label changes the hard way in the past already (almost each of their previous releases was […]
Due to labelproblems, it took about three years from finishing the recordings to the actual release of LUNAR AURORA’s fifth full-length-album “Elixir Of Sorrow”. Reduced to a three-piece, after their session-drummer had left, they probably did work smoother than ever. The album includes ten songs, of which two mark the pillar of this album with […]
Never judge a book by its cover… or so they say. Why do I mention this? Well, a look at the cover artwork and the photography included in the booklet of this promo triggered a medium to heavy “fag gothic alarm”. I guess the band (or the management) assumes that by adopting a Marylin Manson […]
