Rosenheim, Germany (1994 – 2007, 2011 – present)
In December 1994 in Rosenheim, Germany, Lunar Aurora was formed by Aran and Whyrhd. In 1995 they recorded the first Demo: “A Wandering Winterdream Beneath the Cold Moon”.
Only one year later “Auf dunklen Schwingen” was released, another Demo. After that Voices Productions signed the band and in 1996 Lunar Aurora recorded their first official album, which was called “Weltengänger”. With the albums “Ars Moriendi”, “Elixir of Sorrow”, “Zyklus” and “Mond”, this band from Rosenheim established their status as one of the most visionary, unique and important projects in the German metal-scene.
The sound of every release can be considered as slightly different as the sound on the previous one. Generally Lunar Aurora’s creations have a dark, cold and spiritual feeling. Using the Keyboard in a intelligent and never exaggerated way they are able to conjure a deep atmosphere.
The Line-up as it appears today: Aran (Guitar & Vocals), Sindar (Bass & Vocals) and the new Members Malphas (Drums), Akhorahil (Keyboards) and Skoarth (Guitar).
In 2007, the band released its 8th studio album, “Andacht”, after which Lunar Aurora split.
In 2011 Lunar Auroras label (http://www.cold-dimensions.de) announced that Lunar Aurora are back and working on a new album.

The sound of that medley reminds me of "Willenskraft" by Trist (which I do enjoy very much).. "Andacht" was a major success, and it looks like "Hoagascht" will dominate as well..! Pre-ordering straight away! Also, nice picture they have on that myspace site, haha..!

@Reverie-I--I- Yeah, Lunar Aurora members can do no wrong, and this is one of the best tracks in BM's history. Darkspace and Paysage d'Hiver are really similar aswell :).

"The Moon's man stands in his shell, bent under a bundle of sticks. The light falls chalk & cold upon our bedspread. His teeth are chattering among the leprous peaks & craters of those extinct volcanoes. He also against black frost would pick sticks, would not rest untill his own lit room outshone sunday's ghost of sun; Now works his hell of mondays in the Moon's ball, Fireless, seven chill seas chained to his ankle"... ~ Sylvia Plath

The medley sent shivers down my spine. Even in a few seconds excerpts, they maneged to make some eerie-sounding atmosphere, with some goddamn excellent riffs. And they're keeping these dark ambient intros. Hoagascht will just fucking kill everything.
