"“Phantom” was originally released as a part of the limited “Blossom” CD boxset from 2015. At the time, this EP took a darker turn than the preceding releases – instead of majestic and regal ambience, one could say that Nachtzeit went back to the minimalist lo-fi black metal of early works such as “Nightspirit”.

Now presented as a beautiful multi-coloured vinyl edition, limited to 500 copies, 'Phantom' is available on black-purple LP.

The EP – which consists of two tracks, both just over 14 minutes in length – offers a unique listening experience. While both songs are tied together by a similar dreamlike and sombre feeling, each of them provides a full-fledged journey in itself.

As is always the case with Lustre, the music’s key components are slow, heavily textured, and keyboard-laden dirges – driven forward by simplistic and monotonous percussion and occasionally broken up by swarms of guitar distortion. The doomy and droning riffs are repeated at length, but always embedded in an ever-changing soundscape that never gets dull. The keyboards, guitars, and drums often bleed into each other to the extent where it occasionally sounds more ambient than metal."

Originally released in 2015, “Blossom” showcased Nachtzeit’s evolution into a realm of luminous beauty. Brimming with meditative and wondrous tracks, the album marked one of Lustre’s most inspired works – shorter, vibrant compositions that moved beyond the project’s ambient roots to explore hopeful melodies and a more organic sound. Now re-issued on limited multi-colour vinyl, remastered by Tore Stjerna of Necromorbus Studio, “Blossom” stands as a testament to a magnificent era of growth and transformation.

Lustre - A Thirst for Summer Rain ab 9,98 €

A Thirst for Summer Rain” is the eight full-length album of Lustre –the Swedish apotheosis of ambient black metal.

As the initial waves of soothing keyboards come rolling in, it is immediately clear that Lustre still adheres to its musical tradition of dreamlike minimalism. However, when the remaining instruments enter the picture, the soundscape in which they are framed is likely to come as quite the surprise for long-time followers of the band. “A Thirst for Summer Rain” is the first of Nachtzeit’s releases to have been recorded, mixed, and mastered in a professional studio – a move which grants the album a depth previously unseen in Lustre. Yet make no mistake, all the elements that brought the project to widespread prominence are firmly in place. “A Thirst for Summer Rain” has a core of warm, ethereal ambience, but is coated in the eerie and harrowing darkness of 90s black metal.
