[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Originally formed in 2000 in Serrai, Greece. Luna Obscura’s vision has
always been to create a mixture of Heavy, Atmospheric, Melodic and yet
above all challenging music. In May 2004, LO released their first demo
album under the name “Darcanda”. Produced and mixed by Steve Dickins and
Dimitris Papachristos at STV Studios. Unfortunately it was not so good
production and not up for the band’s high standards
but it was good enough to make the band nameable to the Greek metal
crowd. Received great reviews from numerous European Metal Magazines
and soon Enclave Records proposed “With My Demons I’ll Celebrate My
Fall” to be feautured in their compilation cd.
Just two years
later, everything was ready for the big step and the band started to
record the first full length album but due to financial reasons the
recordings “finished” early. It was a huge disappointment but hopefully
didn’t take so long and soon LO met up again to get the thing from where
it was. Some months later the self funded EP “Evilyn” came out in
February 2007. Two songs in decent production which were used for
promotional purposes as long as the band tried to end up with the
recordings and production of the album.
On December 2008 LO
released their first full length album under the name “Feltia”. Edited
and mixed at 210 Studios (Berlin) and STV Studios (Greece) with
producers Stamos Koliousis and Steve Dickins and mastered at Finnvox
Studios (Finland) by Mika Jussila.
“Feltia”, a mind trick pun
(Feel – Fall - Fault) defines the human psychic situation when
melacholically and emotionally charged. Lyrically inspired from human
psychology, moments in everyday life, people’s behavioural feelings
along side with avant-garde poetry and enochian chants. Including 11
powerfull trakcs featuring guest appearance by Andy Giolmas (Mencea,
Nebora) and Steve Dickins (STV Studios).
The album artworks
were made by Zilas (Bloodcult Zine). The official Luna Obscura Logos
& Symbols, web design & photography were made by Gogo Melone for
MEL DESIGN ( Theodore Ziras, Bob Katsionis, Into The Woods, Black
Thoughts Bleeding etc.).
With the dark, aggressive Harsh male
vocal passages and the wonderful, romantic but still powerful female
vocals, the drama of the keyboard melodies with the dynamic, heavy
riffs… LO’s music easily walks into the deepest and obscure fears,
nightmares and dreamscapes. The eternal dance between love and hate when
the beauty finds “Death”!
In the middle of 2010 Luna Obscura
signed with the UK Casket Music / Copro Records and "Feltia" album
re-released in Europe in January 2011.
The band have start the writing process for their upcoming second album which they're planning to released on 2012.
