Following the release of their debut record, "Upon the Edge of Darkness", 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, 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.Two songs from the forthcoming album have already been released - "I Never Ceded" and "Ghost Gums" - available to stream on Bandcamp, Ampwall, Youtube, and the usual digital platforms.
The full "A Grave Ascent" album will be released Friday June 19.A limited LP is available to pre-order, divided into 100 copies in the "Canyon Ember" variant and 100 copies in the "Riverbed Current" variant - shipping in September.The CD is presented in a 6 panel digipack - shipping mid June at the time of the digital release
