This is a review of another recording from Astral Luminous which continues their atmospheric and ambient approach to post black metal with the album being called "Lunaric Tide" and released by Hypnotic Dirge Records in the year of 2009.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric and ambient sound to the recording as well as mixing in some elements of experimental, drone, and noise, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast ambient black metal riffs that utilize some raw and primitive elements as well as melodic and atmospheric elements in the riffing, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use finger picking and full chords to enhance the atmospheric and post rock elements of the album.
Vocals a re all grim sounding black metal screams, while the lyrics cover Occultism, Philosophy and Astral Production, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Astral Luminous and if you are a fan of atmospheric and ambient post black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Astral Luminous" and "Binaural Vibrancy". RECOMMENDED BUY.
