Imagine this set to a Tim Burton direction or Roman Dirge animation. From the quirky grooves of 'Maw', through to the wonderous weaving patterns of 'Tomb', finishing with the sparce melancholic 'Black'; Lamp Of Darkness is a theatrical, poetic, intriguing and melodious musical grimoire.
Lo-fi keyboard post-punk, dark jazz cafe noir nuances unfold, with an experimental cabaret outline and eldritch delivery. Those who deep listen will be treated, as more layers and depth appear on further mind opening, listening, hearing and understanding.
'V' and its creating project does not ask for, but rewards attention.
00:00 - 1. Maw
01:26 - 2. Slave
04:25 - 3. Far
06:05 - 4. Tomb
08:28 - 5. Licia
12:09 - 6. Black

'My name is Eris (greetings!).
Lamp of Darkness is my ongoing solo project.
I started LoD in my late teens when I wasn’t able to form a band who would play my songs. The starting sound, heard in the first album, was gothic rock / post-punk?
Over the years, my sound began to evolve, inspired by specific periods of classical music, electronic ambient, sword and sorcery, ethnic / folk music, and blues / jazz.
The choice of a lo-fi, shoe-string production was deliberate.
In a sea of laptop-polished metronomic 0’s, 1’s, and breakdowns,
this record has strived to be something different.
Sonically, this is a phantom hand, steering metallic and dark music to seldom charted waters. Primitive on the surface, perhaps it is; but it is honest and human in its grime and grit.
Lyrically, “V” is a narrative poetry record, especially in the second half. Since the third album, a conceptual world began to form, inhabited by characters whose stories became songs.'
