Limbonic Art was formed in 1993 in Norway, and for a short while existed with a 4 member line-up. Before any material was released the band became a 2 piece, and have stayed that way for their entire existence. The two members going under the monikers of Daemon (Vidar Jensen) and Morfeus (Krister Dreyer). Throughout 1995 and 1996 they recorded two tapes, one rehearsal tape and one official promo tape. This caught the attention of the label Nocturnal Art Productions (owned by Samoth of Emperor and Zyklon fame). In 1996 the band released their debut, "Moon in the Scorpio".
Mixing in atmospheric elements with harsh black metal the band gained a large underground following. As they progressed through their career their albums became less symphonic and more orientated on pure Black metal. But they never lost touch of their symphonic roots, continuing to infuse their music with keyboards. Throughout their existence they got criticism for using an electronic drum computer. The fans of the band were however not bothered by this.
In 1998 they released some of their early demo material. The material was fully re-recorded and released under the title 'Epitome of Illusions'. On which the band also thanked their fans for their support throughout the years.
in 2000 Samoth formed Zyklon and invited Daemon to perform vocals on their first album and several live gigs, including Mystic Festival in Poland in 2001, after which Daemon left due to personal reasons and lack of time to go on tour.
In February of 2003 the band broke up. However Daemon and Morpheus announced the reforming of Limbonic Art on 2006.

Astral Projection
Limbonic Art Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating virtually on the outer surface, a return to abstract fantasy
Ethereal hallucinations, lucid dreamlike manifestations
When the soul emancipate from life, engulfed by an electric veil of light
Pulsating ambiance of psychokinetic energy
Revolving nebulous mist, astrophysical journey
Ghostliness of the unknown, voices call from beyond
Disengage the soul from the body
A prospect of life after death, levitate to arcane destiny
Orbiting the terrestrial soil, reach the zenith of ascendancy
A conduit, voyager, zooming across the periphery
Adapting wraithlike shapes of existence
Escaping the ephemeral earthly shell where the soul dwell
Watching, dreaming of illumination, perception, redemption
A passage to the vaporous interstellar domain
Hypnotic trance, post mortem scenarios, gazing into deserted forlorn horizons
Amorphous shadows, dark tunnels, flashing lights
Tranquility space, cryogenic slumber, remoteness, oblivion
An epic encounter with the darkness of death
The emission of light from the sun is dying
Falling into the void of hypothermia, as freezing airstreams encircling

Best thing about this song/album:
It's fucking Limbonic art.
Daemon's voice still beats all others, It's extreme, it's black.
There's a dimension missing, but it's still awesome.
Diamhea
Yeah I like this half-shout style a lot. He used it in Zyklon too, really suits his delivery well.
Lex Lutor

Well, we have half a band here and we get essentially half of a record. About four of the songs would make my "repeat" list. The rest are "subtracts", holy fuck what happened here?
