Lumen ad Mortem (the dying light) formed in 2019. Reawakening the night sky fires to the glory of anthemic black metal.

​

From the cold ashes, forged through the smoke and flame of primeval times. A time where grim melodies rose from the forest floor and blasting rhythms carried the embers to engulf and inspire all that is black metal.

​

After releasing their acclaimed debut album "upon the edge of darkness" the band has enacted their live ritual at festivals and venues Australia wide. 

​

2025 saw the band enter the studio once again to record their follow up lp - in which they have reached even further into the abyss, crafting a sonic landscape of chilling melodic ferocity and suffocating atmosphere.

​

entitled "a grave ascent" - this latest offering will be unleashed to the world in 2026.
