Following the release of their debut record Upon the Edge of Darkness in 2023, South Australia’s Lumen Ad Mortem returns 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.
