This thing manages to be so serene despite the hardcore vocals and drumming. I really love what I *think* is a blast beat fading in at the beginning of "A Summer Night." It reminds me of the opening track of Terrorizer's "World Downfall." It just sounds so cool.

Lustre makes hymns to my solitary religious mass. This purifies through soundscapes that invoke the elements of life and matter. To a more impressionable eye that delights in Earth and its wonderful lands, seas, and creatures.

Since the fiery birth of its second wave in early '90s Scandinavia, black metal has sought to be a portal to the otherworld, the beyond - and often, beyond The Beyond. Divergent strains have certainly cropped up since, but Sweden's LUSTRE has long explored the hinterlands of the black metal imagination and consistently with breathtaking results. A lone dreamer, mainman Nachtzeit solidified his unique muse with his very first release, the Serenity EP in 2008, and never looked back once...only beyond. And yet, with all the heights he's hit with such celebrated albums as A Glimpse of Glory and They Awoke to the Scent of Spring, LUSTRE continues to reach for the stars with his latest album, Wonder. Simply and eloquently titled, Wonder is a spectral journey across four distinct-yet-adjoining paths: "Moonlit Meadow," "Green Worlds," "A Summer Night," and "Petrichor," all likewise accurately named. Averaging nearly 10 minutes each, the four songs comprising Wonder celebrate the vast, humbling expanse between the earth and the cosmos. Black metal may be traditionally "cold," but Wonder is anything but -withdrawn and aloof, sure, but galvanized by this isolation and even liberated by it, as the imagination is given free reign to wander at will and, of course, to wonder. Hypnotic and monolithic as ever, here LUSTRE works with a relatively more inviting canvas, the rhythmic pulse patient as always while more concertedly stargazing, daresay-beautiful riff/synth melodies flow through the soul and unlock the spirit's innermost, closely-guarded corridors. What results is an experience every bit of its title - that is, Wonder - and further proof that LUSTRE is creating dark metalled music not of this earthly plane. Take flight...
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
Eldamar has captured the essence of Tolkien's world in a most beautiful way.
In Galadwen The Eldar you can see and feel the beauty of an Age gone away. Stumgar
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
