Night Shall Drape is a brotherhood of musicians, constantly driven to create impactful music throughout their long careers. Lunatic Choir was born from LRH’s mind and recorded solo, but he gathered Wraath, Infection and Spellgoth to complete the songs with vocals, making this album a glorious manifestation of their collective talents.
Lunatic Choir features eight perfect hymns to Nordic black metal, offering fast blast beats with raw yet melodic riffs.
The album’s lead single, “Under the Dead Sky”, is a hymn of profane melodic cacophony, harsh with riffs and forceful tremolo picking underneath layered vocals. “One with the beasts of the black flame,” the band chants in dedication to holy death.
“The Queen of the Red Streams” is a tithe to Nordic black metal of the 90s, driven forward with relentless drums, haunting acoustic melodies, and an inevitable inertia toward the altar of the dark mother.
With third single, “Ashes of Men”, Night Shall Drape Us deliver a hymn harking back to the early ties between thrash and black metal; the persistent layered riffs under the ash-choked coughs of the choir allow no peace for this coming of the end of times.
“The incarnation of Night Shall Drape Us was a long time coming,” explains LRH, “We were driven to create traditional and melodic black metal in the vein of the best offerings of the 90s, which inspired all of us to walk the path we’re on. We’re truly proud of what we’ve put together here.”
