Wolves of Hades announce November 14th as the international release date for Lamp of Murmuur’s fourth album, The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy. In lieu of this announcement, the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel premieres the new track „Forest of Hallucinations“: Lamp of Murmuur – Forest of Hallucinations (Track Premiere)
Two years since the release of Saturnian Bloodstorm, Lamp of Murmuur has once again raised the chalice of victory for the masses with a new beckoning of devotion and elegance, titled The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy. Gradually ascended these past years as one of the furthermost esteemed and sought luminaries within the new wave of black metal, Lamp of Murmuur is still a force to be reckoned with.
Where Saturnian Bloodstorm raged with untamable fire and Submission and Slavery plunged into catharsis and purgatory, this new opus stands as the synergy of both sides of a bloodstained coin: triumph and grief, transcendence and torment. Beneath the soundscapes of blackened vigor and madness lies a narrative that reaches beyond dreams, exploring instead the unyielding pursuit of absolute spiritual liberation through sacrifice, manifesting the will of the Seven Spears with a delicate yet more menacing gesture than in previous efforts, birthing the project’s most adventurous and daring offering yet.
Inspired by the primordial majesty of black metal yet unbound by its limitations, Lamp of Murmuur continues to prosper, owing nothing to convention, repetition, or the demands of the masses. With The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy, it has become evident that this vision refuses to compromise and keeps pushing the boundaries within the darker arts. From traditional-rooted blastbeating riffs, haunting gothic overtones, and triumphant heavy metal debauchery, Lamp of Murmuur has transmuted continuously and embodies yet another metamorphosis, an extravagant voyage that’s in equal parts dream and nightmare, standing in defiance of all that was, is, and will be.
To be released through Wolves of Hades, The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy stands as another testament to Lamp of Murmuur’s unwavering pursuit of vision and freedom: an offering of intoxicating grandeur, a hymn to the eternal dream of a soul yearning to be unchained.
