Received great reviews from numerous European Metal Magazines and soon Enclave Records proposed “With My Demons I’ll Celebrate My Fall” to be feautured in their compilation cd.
Just two years later, everything was ready for the big step and the band started to record the first full length album but due to financial reasons the recordings “finished” early. It was a huge disappointment but hopefully didn’t take so long and soon LO met up again to get the thing from where it was. Some months later the self funded EP “Evilyn” came out in February 2007. Two songs in decent production which were used for promotional purposes as long as the band tried to end up with the recordings and production of the album.
On December 2008 LO released their first full length album under the name “Feltia”. Edited and mixed at 210 Studios (Berlin) and STV Studios (Greece) with producers Stamos Koliousis and Steve Dickins and mastered at Finnvox Studios (Finland) by Mika Jussila..
“Feltia” , a mind trick pun (Feel – Fall - Fault) defines the human psychic situation when melacholically and emotionally charged. Lyrically inspired from human psychology, moments in everyday life, people’s behavioural feelings along side with avant-garde poetry and enochian chants. Including 11 powerfull trakcs featuring guest appearance by Andy Giolmas (Mencea, Nebora) and Steve Dickins (STV Studios).
The album artworks were made by Zilas (Bloodcult Zine). The official Luna Obscura Logos & Symbols, web design & photography were made by Gogo Melone for MEL DESIGN ( Theodore Ziras,Bob Katsionis, Into The Woods, Black Thoughts Bleeding etc.).
With the dark, aggressive Harsh male vocal passages and the wonderful, romantic but still powerful female vocals, the drama of the keyboard melodies with the dynamic, heavy riffs… LO’s music easily walks into the deepest and obscure fears, nightmares and dreamscapes. The eternal dance between love and hate when the beauty finds “Death”!

A Grief Observed
Luna Obscura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You staring at the emptiness
My skin is pale
You hear the sacred silence
My fears are awake
Now that the night has gone
Now i can see all my dreams
Turning into dust
Tears filled your eyes
I cry for my end
So..the end is near
Farewell to all
Now that the night has gone
Now there’s no turning back
Now i can see all my dreams
Turning into dust
You left me alone
In my mourning silence
Come back to me my beloved
Why you left me?
Now that you are gone
My life seems so emty
I’m drowing
Into the oblivion
Now that i’m gone
I hope not to
Be forgoten
I’m flying
Fear pain misery
Dreams of sorrow
Haunted my sleep
And left me hollow
Tears,lost memories
Dreams of past
Haunted my soul
Haunted my heart
The song "A Grief Observed" by Luna Obscura is a melancholic and emotional representation of a person's journey through intense grief and despair. The first stanza describes the physical pain and emotional turmoil of the singer as they face the empty reality of their situation. The second stanza speaks of the finality of the situation, as the realization that their dreams are now mere dust sets in. The chorus reinforces the fact that there is no going back from this point.
The third stanza is a conversation between two individuals, one who is crying for their own end and the other who is bidding farewell to all. The fourth stanza is a moment of solitude for the singer, as they find themselves alone in their mourning silence. They question why their beloved has left them, and the pain they feel is palpable.
The fifth stanza speaks of the singer's hope that they will not be forgotten and their belief that they are flying away from their troubles. The final stanza is a reflection on the memories that haunt the singer, with tears and lost memories being the only comfort they can find.
Overall, the song seems to be a poignant reminder of the fact that grief is an intensely personal journey and that there are no easy answers. It speaks to the deep sense of loss and emptiness that one feels when faced with the reality that all their dreams and hopes have been snatched away.

You staring at the emptiness
I am feeling empty and you are staring at me
My skin is pale
I am feeling weak
You hear the sacred silence
You can hear the silence around, as I am not speaking
My fears are awake
I am afraid of something and it is making me feel restless
Now that the night has gone
The dark phase is over
Now there’s no turning back
There's no going back to the way things were
Now i can see all my dreams
I can see my aspirations
Turning into dust
Getting shattered and fizzled out
Tears filled your eyes
You are crying along with me
I cry for my end
I am crying for my own death
So..the end is near
This is the end I've been anticipating
Farewell to all
Saying goodbye to everyone
You left me alone
You deserted me
In my mourning silence
I am in a state of mourning and not speaking
Come back to me my beloved
I want my lover to return
Why you left me?
I don't understand why you left me
Now that you are gone
Since you're not here
My life seems so empty
My life feels meaningless without you
I’m drowing
I am overwhelmed and sinking
Into the oblivion
I am disappearing into nothingness
Now that i’m gone
Considering that I am dead
I hope not to
I just don't want to
Be forgotten
I don't want to be erased from people's memories
I’m flying
I am soaring
Fear pain misery
Experiencing negative emotions
Dreams of sorrow
Aspirations full of sadness
Haunted my sleep
Caused me to have nightmares
And left me hollow
Leaving me empty and drained
Tears,lost memories
Crying and the memories that are lost forever
Dreams of past
Aspirations of long gone things
Haunted my soul
Disturbed me to the core
Haunted my heart
Troubled my heart a lot
