Luminaria
Arche
(2005 Bombworks)

Polish postgothic metal.

Luminaria has been a stalwart in the Polish underground metal scene for several years now. In late 2003, they recorded 7 tracks for a demo to shop around to labels that featured melodic piano parts, crushing metal guitars, haunting David Bowie-esque vocals, harsh extreme vocals, and gothic overtones for a hauntingly beautiful and heavy sound. Bombworks Records picked up this postgothic metal masterpiece and had Luminaria record an extra bonus track summer of 2005 that did not appear on the original label demo. Luminaria has been favorably compared to Type O Negative, and they have a sound reminiscient of early 90's Saviour Machine, especially if Saviour Machine had incorporated extreme vocals into the mix. If you like your music dark, beautiful, and heavy, Luminaria is your band, and now the whole world can experience their greatness.
