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”!

Ex Caelis Oblatus
Luna Obscura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She has the dream of loss
That walks upon the fire
The scream into the void
She gives the kiss of death
She breathes the pain
On fallen angels faces
DARKNESS BEHOLD YOUR INFERNAL BEAUTY
THE GRIEF THE PAIN, AND THE LUST
REVEAL TO ME ALL
YOUR ANCIENT SECRETS
THAT SILENTLY BREEDS IN YOURS HEART
Forgotten is her name
She has the silence
Forbidden is her sight
Of her sleepless nights
With the grace of the swan
In the shapeless halls
She?s whispering her spells
Of nothing she lives
DARKNESS BEHOLD YOUR INFERNAL BEAUTY
THE GRIEF THE PAIN, AND THE LUST
REVEAL TO ME ALL
YOUR ANCIENT SECRETS
THAT SILENTLY BREEDS IN YOURS HEART
She holds gently in her hands
She has the wind of despair
The hearts of dead lovers
That blows into her life
With empty eyes she?s staring
She is seeking the grief
The fall of her sanity
Into the souls of fools
The lyrics of "Ex Caelis Oblatus" by Luna Obscura explore the concept of darkness and its alluring, mysterious beauty. The mistress of the night is presented as a powerful figure who possesses the ability to transport dreamers to a fiery world of loss and despair. She is also depicted as possessing the power to inflict pain through her kiss of death and her ability to taste tears. The darkness is not only beautiful but also seductive, holding the secrets and the grief of the ages in its depths.
The persona of the mistress is shrouded in mystery and ambiguity. Her name is forgotten, and her sight is forbidden. She inhabits shapeless halls and whispers spells that nobody can understand. She is consumed by grief and despair and seeks to find solace by grasping the hearts of dead lovers that blow into her life. The lyrics convey a sense of an ancient, all-encompassing darkness that somehow seems to hold the sorrow, secrets, and passions of eternity.
Overall, the lyrics depict a mesmerizing and beautiful darkness, which is both alluring and dangerous at the same time.
