Locus Noir - Shadow Sun (CD)
About this item
Locus Noir is the latest musical endeavor from Ben DMN, also known for his work as the frontman of Swiss Death Wave powerhouse SYBREED.Conceived as a return to the music that shaped his formative years, the project draws it's energy from late-night introspection, creative renewal, and a distinctly crepuscular sensibility. Initially conceived as a solo project, Locus Noir is set to evolve into a fully-fledged band.Musically, Locus Noir blends Type O Negative gloom, The Fields of the Nephilim mysticism, and Paradise Lost melancholy, all infused with a post-punk edge. The result is a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless - a modern interpretation of what Gothic Metal can be.On debut album 'Shadow Sun', band main songwriter and vocalist Ben steps fully into a melodic, haunting vocal register, merging the theatrical delivery of Peter Murphy with subtle echoes of the late Peter Steele. The lyrics move between the esoteric and the intimate: love and death, desire and decay, nocturnal excess and the bitter aftertaste of parties stretching well past dawn.
