The album was released on 26 May 2008 on the label Rise Above Records both as a CD and on vinyl, some three years after the debut. Producer was Jus Oborn, guitarist and singer of British doom metal band Electric Wizard.
For much of the album is based on Masonic subjects, as is the content of the term Lux E Tenebris, been too German " light from the darkness " of meaning, but also in that of a tattoo artist realized the cover design, title or lyrics Subterranean took the band Masonic items.
A tour of the publication was made only at an event for the twentieth anniversary of Rise Above the band played some pieces from the album.
Style
The music of the album is mostly classified as Sludge, Drone Doom Metal or generally. The album composed by the band Collective, the texts authored singer Olly Pearson. Unlike their debut Cthonic Rites, the pieces were not improvised, but through-composed and rehearsed in detail in advance. The band thereby made a special point to act more structured and song -oriented. As new members, the band built here a Hammond organ in the group sound, but also clear vocals. Musical influences denies the tape as an important influence she calls " marijuana and drugs," especially in terms of atmospheric horror movies.
Reception
The criticism characterized the album as musically simple and mostly raised here in particular the absence of a songwriting forth. Greg Strato of Allmusic described the album by saying "the songs do not follow any structure and simply do not go anywhere".
However, the assessment was still positive. Was honored, among others, the strong atmospheric force of the album and also the extreme musical approach was praised. Repeatedly found himself mutatis mutandis, the summary that "you can either love idolatrous or simply hate just abysmal ."
