DIGIBOOK CD edition (ltd 300)
With icy melodies, haunted screams and an atmosphere as thick as the winter snows, LUSTRE returns. "The Ashes of Light" continues Nachtzeit's legacy with majestic splendour; its enthralling atmospheric black metal searching for lost secrets in the woods, among the stars.
Otherworldly keyboards and epic, long melody lines stretching across galaxies soothe the soul with their mysterious echoes of ancient truths. The dreamlike ambience is hypnotic and mesmerizing. Escape your daily woes and the modern noise by stepping into the grand, ethereal halls of LUSTRE.
Eldritch, boundless desolation, awe-inspiring in its profundity, blanching in its focus, LUSTRE’s A Glimpse of Glory is an experience like no other. Awash in mile-high walls of hypnotic, hypothermic synths, the three epic tracks comprising the album idiosyncratically fuse together arcane elements of black metal, dark ambient, pagan metal, and funeral doom, glacial in drift and towering in its vision. Imagine Burzum’s Dunkelheit crossed with Summoning’s Stronghold, but spawned in the same studio environs Skepticism uses: perhaps then you will catch A Glimpse of Glory.
CD in jewel case with new custom artwork by Joan Llopis Illustrations.
LUSTRE's debut album "Night Spirit" opened many eyes and ears when its pioneering dark metal sound was heard for the first time in 2009. Now getting a long-awaited reissue through Nordvis, "Night Spirit" is a transporting journey through the ethereal fields and vast expanse of starlit nocturnal skies.
The cavernous ambience created by lone mastermind Nachtzeit's synths spawns a thick aura around the raw yet melodic metal foundation, like a mesmerizing moon glow around the amorphous shades of misty woods, with an ominous feeling of being drawn further in by the spirits of the night. Combining this haunting atmosphere with a medieval phantasmagoric feel and harsh blackened metal, "Night Spirit" broke new ground and opened a new portal in the pantheon of somber music.
With both of the album's songs clocking in at over 20 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to sink into the wonderful yet chilling world of LUSTRE. Let the cold winds embrace you, and you'll long for nothing more.
