Back on Black is proud to present a stunning vinyl reissue of Swallow the Sun's hauntingly dark masterpiece, 'Lumina Aurea'. Originally released in 2018 as a companion piece to their critically acclaimed album 'When a Shadow is Forced into the Light', this single-track EP stands as one of the most intense, emotionally raw, and experimental releases in the Finnish doom icons' storied discography.
Born out of profound personal tragedy and grief, Lumina Aurea is less of a traditional metal track and more of a crushing, cinematic soundscape. Featuring guest appearances from Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Marco I. Benevento (The Foreshadowing), the track journeys through deep ambient dread, neofolk instrumentation, and suffocating blackened doom.
This collector's edition is pressed on clear vinyl with black splatter, perfectly visualising the stark contrast between light and the consuming darkness that defines the music.
Limited clear black splatter vinyl pressing.
