Imber Luminis "Life as Burden" CD

The concept of Imber Luminis is simply a catharsis of feelings about life, death, sorrow, pain, suffering and true melancholy. The new release, “Life as Burden“, contains 4 long tracks, including a cover song of the too well known song “Sick of it all” by the band FINGER ELEVEN, completely done with IL’s touch. Sometimes the keys are just short passages of classical piano, a thing that turns it into a trace of melancholy. Explosive passages would not fit into an album that should be regarded as melancholic, contemplative and depressive.
The riffs, hard, repetitive and slow. The thing that gives this album its authenticity are the vocal parts that were introduced. A combination of clean vocals and screams, very specific to depressive black metal. It’s a thing that you don’t encounter nearly as often, depressive black metal vocals and funeral doom, mixed.
All in all “Life as Burden” is a combination of low tones, rough riffs, authentic parts of funeral doom and melancholic sequences, lashed into a gloomy ambiance. It’s an album that takes your blackest thoughts out, an album that gives you suffering, pain and desperation, so that they’d reach the most obscure cells of one’s brain, it’s actually everything that couldn’t be said through “Fletus” : the dark part of our own feelings.
