Lunar Aurora – Ars Moriendi LP

Lunar Aurora – 'Ars Moriendi' LP

Black vinyl edition remastered reissue with 12 page 12" Booklet & A2 poster

A landmark in early 2000s Black Metal, 'Ars Moriendi' is the fourth full-length from Bavarian visionaries LUNAR AUROR. First released in 2001 by Ars Metalli, this long out-of-print gem returns with all its dark grandeur intact. Recorded and mixed at the legendary Tonstudio Hörnix, home to cult acts like ABIGOR and SUMMONING. 'Ars Moriendi' channels a uniquely German strain of Black Metal: cold, dissonant, and fiercely otherworldly. The album strikes a rare balance between aggression and atmosphere, weaving icy riffs, haunting keyboards, and twisted melodies into a soundscape that is both hostile and hypnotic. Far from the standardised sounds of the Scandinavian scene, LUNAR AURORA carved out their own path—esoteric, untamed, and steeped in occult mysticism. 'Ars Moriendi' is a prime example of their singular approach: the vocals howl like spirits lost in mountain fog, the drums drive ever forward like ritual processions into the abyss, and the production captures it all in chilling clarity. An essential reissue for those who appreciate the shadowed edges of Black Metal history — grim, majestic, and timeless
