Hailing from Italy, Absentia Lunae is a band that plays a raw, yet extremely emotional style of black metal. There's much more to this band's debut than just noise, and it really showcases that poor production can really enhance the atmosphere built up by a record. I got into this band via the humorously named female member Climaxia's side project, Melencolia Estatica. I was extremely impressed with that album and I decided to check this out as well. I am pleased to say that In Vmbrarvm Imperii Gloria is exactly what I expected, and it's a clear winner in my book.
