Description

A Thirst for Summer Rain is the eighth full-length album of Lustre – the Swedish apotheosis of ambient black metal. As the initial waves of soothing keyboards come rolling in, it is immediately clear that Lustre still adheres to it s musical tradition of dreamlike minimalism. However, when the remaining instruments enter the picture, the soundscape in which they are framed is likely to come as quite the surprise for long-time followers of the band. A Thirst for Summer Rain is the first of Nachtzeit s releases to have been recorded, mixed, and mastered in a professional studio – a move which grants the album a depth previously unseen in Lustre. Yet make no mistake, all the elements that brought the project to widespread prominence are firmly in place. A Thirst for Summer Rain has a core of warm, ethereal ambience, but is coated in the eerie and harrowing darkness of 90s black metal.
