release notes:
Following the release of their debut record, "Upon the Edge of Darkness",
in 2023, South Australia's Lumen Ad Mortem returns this summer with "A
Grave Ascent" - a striking dose of ferocious black metal that balances
perfectly between an energetic drive fueled by lightning-fast tremolo
riffs and a mid-paced dirge drenched in atmosphere.
Crafting anthemic black metal with unrelenting intensity, these new
offerings are chock-full of nefarious melodies, wrapped around rhythm
guitars and bass that retain a malleable nature, alongside ominous synth
lines and drums that relentlessly drive the energy forward. Lyrically,
the new album draws from the Australian wellspring of loss, death, and
the undying spirit that refuses defeat, driven by an unrelenting force of
cold and undeniable vengeance. All is set within an ancient landscape,
where the vastness of time and darkness renders human existence utterly
insignificant.
Mixed by Patrick Pages Oliver at Blood Wolf Productions, "A Grave Ascent"
shines with a harmonious mix - raw, cold and emotional, yet clear and
perfectly balanced.
A sonic landscape of chilling melodic ferocity and suffocating
atmosphere.
