Spectral Lore is an one man project from Athens, Greece which blends atmospheric black metal with elements from many other styles such as prog, folk, ambient.
Thanks for the very important work that you're doing and I can't wait to hold the book in my hands! If there's one thing that I sometimes think about and helps me sleep better at night, is that is that the music I loved as a teenager and ended up performing is no longer just the domain of racists, homophobes and edgelords, but it has been claimed by people who are truly oppressed and who are able to find strength and beauty inside to help them carry on and seek for justice and freedom.
lyrics
Τhe sages of old took on to enlighten men
By telling us to lift our gaze towards the above
Yet did not mention that we can only go as far
As the shackles and the prison walls
That bind our mortal shells allow
O wise ones, why do we stand on the battlefield
With righteousness and honor on our side
But our limbs betray us with weakness?
For you to exalt the spirit meant
To wage war on the vessel that it comes with
Such is your trust to the Eternal Soul!
And so you taught us to hate the rottenness of the flesh
As much as its pleasures
To be ignorant of our own ownership of our flesh
And our power to transform it
A TOTAL REVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT DEMANDS FOR
A TOTAL REVOLUTION OF THE BODY
Dark mother, allow me entrance
Into the forgotten catacombs
Of somatic wisdom
True power comes from surrender
Woe to those who have understood the path
To the stars as a solitary quest
When the Other is always missing
It stands in secret opposition

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
