For:Fans of dark ambient, experimental music listeners, sound-art and sound-design enthusiasts

 Lustmord is not just a mass of electronics, Lustmord is a morbid introspective journey, made of wonder and unease.

 “Heresy” is none of that: it shapes and evolves on its own, instinctive and wild, grows unpredictably and entwines without schemes, it is monstrous, it is twisted, it is wicked; it’s frightening.

 It’s not the melody factor that counts, but the astral shard that resides in the mind of the listener.
