Don't come looking for monster riffs and Geddy Lee vocals; this is black metal in its most elemental and protean form. The Greek outfit could fairly align itself with the post-rock soundscapers, but that would miss the point. Using glacial electronica and lean, fragile guitars, Lore's sound seems to trace its own assembly.
Spectral Lore?s sound is for the most part based on black metal; not the rock & roll, necro-whatever variety of it that?s spinning into the cd players of modern adolescents, but of the esoteric and transcendental type that pioneers like Burzum used to deliver. Being purely experimental in conception and therefore in substance, the music revolves around an aesthetic widely known as ambient; blurry, distorted guitars and keyboards in mostly minimalist passages, together with some elements of contemporary electronic music in an attempt to evocate an atmosphere of ancient landscapes and of wild, untouched nature.
The first, same-titled full length?album has been released independently in 100 copies and is now available by Saturnine Society in tape format.
