Gothenburg (Sweden) based cosmic black metal duo Lightlorn will be releasing their debut EP entitled These Nameless Worlds on the 28th of October. Harnessing the meaning behind their name, which can be interpreted as "bereft of light", Lightlorn explores the feelings of alienation, isolation, and existential dread. Through cosmic themes and lyrics, the band seeks to embrace this darkness and despair - because nothing is darker nor colder than the void between the stars.
The band comments: "We are so happy to finally unleash these songs upon the world! I've been working on them for the last year and a half and it feels great to have them out there, potentially being heard by people all over the planet."
While These Nameless Worlds on its surface sounds bleak and tends to instil a sense of longing within the listener, it also sparks idyllic and mesmerizing atmospheres and subtle intoxicating harmonies. Lightlorn does not abandon the roots of black metal but seeks to extend those branches upwards, into the abyss that surrounds us all.
Lightlorn aims to create an emotionally dense and textured approach to black metal, that surpasses the frozen and barren landscapes of Earth, to the stars above. Their approach is both transcendent and incredibly human and reveals how dynamic and vulnerable black metal can be as the genre progresses into the future.
