Lumen Ad Mortem

Lumen Ad Mortem (the dying light) was formed in 2019. Reawakening the night sky fires to the
glory of early 90’s anthemic black metal.
From the cold ashes comes a trio forged through the smoke and flame of primeval times. A time
where grim melodies rose from the forest floor and blasting rhythms carried the embers to engulf
and inspire all that is black metal.
Guitars, bass, keyboards and orchestration by Aaron Tuck. Unapologetically sparse melodies that
smolder and rise upon seething orchestrations with the restraint of a cold mist falling on ancient
tombs.
Percussion by Matt ‘Skitz’ Sanders. A true Australian Metal pioneer of sheer brutality, well versed
in the ways where flesh and bone meet skin, timber and metal. Hitting harder than a blacksmith
upon the steaming blood-soaked anvils of Acheron.
Vocals and Lyrics by Gregor Pikl. Grim shadowed realms of mysticism and chants summoning
incorporeal murmurs of forgotten times and ancient ways. Delving into the black abyss of dreams
and the reawakening of one’s self, standing upon the edge of myths and steeped in the sagas of
tragedy, triumph and honour.
