A Norwegian all‑star outfit from Oslo, Lunaris deliver technical black metal infused with progressive and electronic elements. The review hails Cyclic (2004) as their strongest work: complex, razor‑edged riffs meet restless, intricate rhythms and vivid atmospheres. Highlights include Lessons In Futility, the title track, Slaves Of Opinion, When It Ends, and the Opeth‑like Altruismens Gravol. Crystal‑clear production favors detail over grit, suiting listeners who want sophistication rather than traditional brutality.
