Lunar Poetry

by Nokturnal Mortum

Lunar Poetry cover art

Originally released as a cassette demo, this foundational recording by the Ukrainian collective pushed extreme metal into deeply mystical, pagan territories. The incredibly raw, lo-fi black metal is heavily saturated with soaring, medieval synthesizer melodies and traditional Eastern European folk instrumentation. Its heavily atmospheric, nature-worshipping aesthetic deeply influenced the rapidly developing Eastern European black metal underground.
