Sweden's solo project Lustre has returned with a new recording which continues the atmospheric style of ambient black metal from his previous releases and this is a review of his 2022 album "A Thirst For Summer Rain" which will be released in August by Nordvis Production.
Ambient style keyboards start off the album while also mixing in with the heavier sections of the songs quite a bit throughout the recording. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams along with all of the drum beats also being programmed and all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
The music also has its atmospheric moments while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals also taking a backseat to the guitars and keyboards to focus on the atmosphere and only appearing in certain sections of the recording and the whole album also sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording Lustre remains true to the atmospheric style of ambient black metal that he has established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover hope, faith and inspiration through dark times.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lustre and if you are a fan of atmospheric and ambient black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Quiescence" and "Thirst". 8 out of 10.
