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”!

Ancient One
Luna Obscura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I will rise to my throne
Dark Clouds in the sky
Your eyes will never see the dawn
With spells and witchcraft
I?m chained below
And the birds can?t fly
I AM THE ANCIENT ONE
MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN TIME
I AM THE FLESHLESS
I AM THE WATCHER AT THE END OF LIFE
Behold my kingdom
When The dead will rise
Spirits that once were good
Now bring me lives
With hearts and emotions
I will feed my hunger
With fear and pain
I will lead my hunters
I AM THE ANCIENT ONE
MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN TIME
I AM THE FLESHLESS
I AM THE WATCHER AT THE END OF LIFE
The lyrics in Luna Obscura's "The Ancient One" speak to the rise of a powerful and malevolent ruler who is using spells and witchcraft to control those around them. This being claims to be the "Ancient One" and exists beyond physical form as they have no flesh. As this ruler sits on their throne, the people around them are kept in darkness and prevented from seeing the light of the dawn. The lyrics tell a story of a ruler who is driven by their insatiable hunger for power, and the lengths they are willing to go to maintain their control over the kingdom.
The imagery in the lyrics speaks to a world where magic and darkness reign supreme, and the references to spirits and the dead rising from their graves lend an eerie quality to the song. The kingdoms of the Ancient One are steeped in fear and pain, and the people are led by hunters looking to sate the ruler's unquenchable thirst for power. The lyrics ultimately depict a world where darkness has taken over, and the ruler in power has become an unstoppable force that will continue to reign over their kingdom with an iron fist.
