South Australian Black Metallers LUMEN AD MORTEM, have released their new single “Within The Smoke”, taken from their highly anticipated debut full length album “Upon The Edge Of Darkness”, out on January 27th, 2023 via Bitter Loss Records.
Featuring six brand new tracks spanning over 42 minutes, “Upon The Edge Of Darkness” has been packed with soul-devouring and pure Black Metal, pitch black in its features. Formed in 2019, from the cold ashes comes a trio forged through the smoke and flame of primeval times. A time where grim melodies rose from the forest floor and blasting rhythms carried the embers to engulf and inspire all that is Black Metal!
The band comments on the track: “ ‘Within The Smoke’ started with one riff and marched onwards. Simple in structure, droning riffs complimenting dark vocals and precise drums. Lacerating guitars and driving bass are enhanced by orchestral undertones. The song forced its will onto the band much like the lyrical theme of the three Norns of wyrd , hunched over the loom of destiny. feverishly weaving the threads of predestined fate upon all beings with crooked hands of benevolence or malevolence!”
