Lumen ad Mortem formed in 2019 in South Australia. Reawakening the night sky fires to the glory of anthemic black metal.

​

From the cold ashes, forged through the smoke and flame of primeval times. A time where grim melodies rose from the forest floor and blasting rhythms carried the embers to engulf and inspire all that is black metal.

​

After releasing their acclaimed debut album "Upon the Edge of Darkness" in 2023 via Bitter Loss Records, the band has enacted their live ritual at festivals and venues Australia wide. 

​

2025 saw the band enter the studio once again to record their second album - in which they have reached even further into the abyss, crafting a sonic landscape of chilling melodic ferocity and suffocating atmosphere. 

​

entitled "a grave ascent" - this latest offering will be unleashed to the world in partnership with Hypnotic Dirge Records in 2026.
