Lux Occulta  


Lux Occulta is one of the most unique black metal bands to emerge in some time, and is the clear BNR favorite among Polish metal bands. They formed in late 1994 and have released four albums and an EP, with the last two, My Guardian Anger and The Mother And The Enemy, being simply outstanding. Guardian is the more focused, a veritable frenzy of technical black metal, most notable for some brilliant keyboard and drum work. This is one of the most original black metal albums to be released in several years. By contrast, Mother, released two years later in 2001, is the more experimental, featuring several tracks that harness the energy of the previous album, but also containing songs that branch out in bizarre directions, such as the odd but ultra-cool Portishead-styled trip-hop of "Midnight Crisis" and "Yet Another Armageddon", and the industrial death march of "Gambit". Again, an outstanding album, albeit so diverse as to possibly confuse fans expecting a more straighforward album. Clearly this was a band not afraid to try something different, always a commendable trait. As late as 2007 a revised lineup was still hoping to get it together, but they are presumed disbanded now.
