Lunar Aurora – Hoagascht LP

Lunar Aurora – 'Hoagascht' LP

Black vinyl edition, 2nd pressing with 12 page 12" booklet & A2 poster

Originally released in 2012, 'Hoagascht' stands as one of LUNAR AURORA’s most distinctive and haunting works, being a spectral journey into the heart of Bavarian mysticism. All lyrics are written and performed in the Upper Bavarian dialect, adding an eerie, folkloric weight to an album already steeped in atmosphere and isolation. The title 'Hoagascht' is a term for traditional rural gatherings of music and storytelling in Southern Germany and Austria, but becomes something far darker here: a gathering of phantoms, voices from mist-shrouded woods and forgotten Alpine rites. Synth-laced black metal meets the soul of ancient folk tradition, creating a sound both timeless and deeply rooted in place. With chilling melodies, dense ambience, and ghost-like whispers rising from beneath the surface, 'Hoagascht' evokes cold forests, moonlit mountains, and the silent presence of the unseen. It is an album that defies the boundaries of genre, offering instead a glimpse into a hidden world—one that only LUNAR AURORA could summon. A final and fitting chapter in the band’s legacy, 'Hoagascht' is not just an album, it is a ritual, and one of the most emotionally resonant statements in modern Black Metal.
