GRAILIGHT - Sic Luceat Lux!!!
GRAILAGHT jsou pokračovatelé kapely Arcane Grail. Album Sic Luceat Lux!!! je monumentální 75 minut dlouhé album. Precizní melodický atmosférický black metal s prvky klasické hudby a tématicky ovlivněný indickou filosofií. Lahůdka pro příznivce Bal Sagoth, Cult of Fire, Dimmu Borgir. Krásné digipackové vydání.
The music of the Order of GRAILIGHT presents the sound interpretation of the Indo-European mythologema of the unity of God and Man, Light and Darkness, Chernobog and Belobog, Moksha and Samadhi. Through the prism of the pagan legends of Ancient India, Ancient Russia, Ancient Greece & Medieval Europe weaved this canvas - an oratorio to the Light, speckled with the Thirst for Knowledge and Enlightenment. Fueled by traditions of Baroque music of XVII-XVIII centuries, the operatic ideas of Richard Wagner, Russian classical music of XIXth age and even the traditional folk of Amerindian people we tried to create something new and truly grandiose within and beyond symphonic extreme metal.
Each song of our album is permeated with the Spirit of Freedom from the earthly shackles, from the dark obscurantism of the stale human consciousness. Heralding the Age of Aquarius, the Triumph of Reason and Goodness, we trumpet our hymns, destroying Samsara!
