Lee-Eric An excellent album of spare/minumal Darkwave Noir-Goth. Jazz, Cabaret, World sounds. A smokey barroom somewhere in time. RIYL: Voltaire, Sopor Aeternus, Elijah’s Mantle, mellower Einstürzende Neubauten. Favorite track: Black.

bmurator UK Experimental / Doom / Gothic Post-Punk. This is one surprise after another after another! Extremely subtle at times & all wrapped up in a velvety Noir Darkness that makes it all the more enthralling. There are some very nice simulated hesitations that only serve to entice & draw the listener further & further in... :) It is also all done with a delightful simplicity & humour which is refreshing! It is way too short for me to even think of a fave! Thanks Owl! Highly recommended!!!

Maw 01:26
Caustic, black, behemoth blood Coursing through enchanted mud Moulded by the witch’s hands Chaos serpent stalks the sands Level cities with its stare Psychic poison clogs the air Human flesh it hungers for Open wide, colossal maw.
2.
Slave 02:59
“Hark, sleeping-slave!” “Now,” whips stings, “kneel” “Hark, sleeping-slave!” Barks master-knave Dark: pseudo-sun Toil at woe’s wheel Dark: pseudo-sun Mark the undone.
3.
Far 01:39
I can see far Pathways of tar Insectile-might Man-made starlight From the south Fast-moving Fog anvil Chernabog I can see far From my tower Mountainous spite Lord over night.
4.
Tomb 02:22
Frequent scuttling, scratching cardboard walls Running rodent climbs. Now where is life’s line? Grave girl, plastic bags. Attic synch-rotting Black hair: spores of rage, ornament our cage Lofty plywood pit. Fifteen winters, and… Moisture, black by gloom, blots the windowed tomb.
5.
Licia 03:41
Staircase lament Sunless street life Downwards, she went Right hip, big knife Gold hair, gold eyes Rumours, small talk “Tonight, she dies” Dark thoughts, dark stalk Licia’s gait Matched from behind Sinistral hate Tricks of the mind? Tunnels of old Cough-up brain-block Neglect breeds mold Scrape-off on rock Raiment of gloom Veiled her ire Strike, she would soon Pyrite liar Snake eyed the rat Bitter recall “Sister!” She spat “Here, you will fall!” White: the she-knave Sudden head turn Spoils of a grave Clutching an urn “How can it be?” Licia cried “Dead, you should be!” Niira smirked wide.
6.
Black 03:10
Niira laid on the four-poster Outside, the sky: starless ink Grave-light seeped through the high arched glass Patterns spat shapes on the thick rug Fractions of gloom washed her imp-face Eyes and windows, opened now Elbows leaned on the smooth stone sill She-snake peered long into the black.

about

Imagine this set to a Tim Burton direction or Roman Dirge animation.

From the quirky grooves of 'Maw', through to the wonderous weaving patterns of 'Tomb', finishing with the sparce melancholic 'Black'; Lamp Of Darkness is a theatrical, poetic, intriguing and melodious musical grimoire.

Lo-fi keyboard post-punk, dark jazz cafe noir nuances unfold, with an experimental cabaret outline and eldritch delivery. Those who deep listen will be treated, as more layers and depth appear on further mind opening, listening, hearing and understanding.

'V' and its creating project does not ask for, but rewards attention.

Let the Lamp Of Darkness illuminate you with its unique glow.

'My name is Eris (greetings!).
Lamp of Darkness is my ongoing solo project.
I started LoD in my late teens when I wasn’t able to form a band who would play my songs. The starting sound, heard in the first album, was gothic rock / post-punk?

Over the years, my sound began to evolve, inspired by specific periods of classical music, electronic ambient, sword and sorcery, ethnic / folk music, and blues / jazz.

The choice of a lo-fi, shoe-string production was deliberate.
In a sea of laptop-polished metronomic 0’s, 1’s, and breakdowns,
this record has strived to be something different.

Sonically, this is a phantom hand, steering metallic and dark music to seldom charted waters. Primitive on the surface, perhaps it is; but it is honest and human in its grime and grit.

Lyrically, “V” is a narrative poetry record, especially in the second half. Since the third album, a conceptual world began to form, inhabited by characters whose stories became songs.'
