What LUNAR AURORA has that some bands do not, is the ability to convey through painted musical themes of spirituality within the fundaments of magic, death and rebirth, power of the soul to carry this energy within them and the music. Through trial and error with members and label changes, the band forges ahead into the unknown despite this uncertainty with the latest material to date Zyklus.

LUNAR AURORA reveals a masterpiece marking the way for German black metal to give the Norway bands a true run for the claim. Nature sound whispers with beastly breathing twists into a hellish turn of melodic chaos as the beginning Der Morgen takes into flight. Keyboardist Tinbar hauntingly strikes chords of ominous beauty meshing well with the agony guitar workings of Aran/Whyrhd on Die Nacht. Stunning unforgettable. Downside to Zyklus is that the vocals are all sung in German and not enough songs but since the duration for each track consists of over ten minutes expect for Der Tag making this material more than enough for the devotees of LUNAR AURORA. Good Job!
