Lux Occulta
Lux Occulta had a relatively short run in the late nineties,
but remains the clear BNR favorite among Polish metal bands.
Formed in late 1994, they reached their peak with 1999's
My Guardian Anger, where they harnessed their highly original brand
of frenzied, technical
black metal, most notable for some brilliant keyboard and drum work.
The followup, 2001's
The Mother And The Enemy,
went off the rails a bit, clearly showing a band in conflict,
as the album featured several tracks in the mold of their
previous works but also tracks that branched 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".
To some these alternate tracks made no sense whatsoever, though to these
ears they were a fresh addition and a great contrast to their more
traditional works.
Unfortunately it was this lack of direction that most likely led to
the band's demise soon after
Mother's release.
As late as 2007 a revamped lineup was still in existence, but all was
quiet until 2012, when formal work
commenced on a new album, now set for a spring 2014 release.
