ClassyMusicSnob I was just expecting a folky ambient album, however this blew me away. it mixed electronic, ambient, folk, a touch of punk, a touch of metal and even a hint of power electronics.

I would describe it as a modern romanticist take on medieval military music with a cyberpunk attitude. its not quite your average neo folk/martial industrial hybrid 4/5 Favorite track: The Fortress of An Ironclad Opressor Has Been Breached.

Released by True Cult Records

(for digital download, go to truecultrecords.bandcamp.com/album/under-a-banner-black-as-blood)

"Ayloss (Spectral Lore, Mystras, A Compendium of Curiosities) and frequent collaborator Spider of Pnyx introduce a new entity called Under A Banner Black As Blood by blending their styles, based on grand orchestral samples and lo-fi analogue synths and real percussion respectively, in a militant symphony of peasant sieges upon noble strongholds and forgotten skirmishes, as an allegory to modern struggles people face nowadays. Equal parts ambient darkness and medieval aggression, there is a wide breadth of influences that merge into the resulting sound, starting from a foundation of dark dungeon synth and militant ambient to branch out even to 70's electro-ambient or kraut. Under A Banner Black As Blood aim to show that the escapism inherent in such genres can be subverted to serve a purpose".

Spectral Lore Αθήνα, Greece

This page hosts most of the music I've released through Spectral Lore and other projects. Atmospheric black metal, ambient, dungeon synth and more. I'm antifascist so NSBM fans stay away.
