Endless Metal Podcast An incredibly personal album that serves as therapy for the artist and listener alike. Gloriously bleak and lugubrious black metal that is at once fragile and beautiful. The contrasts are captivating. Despite the darkest of times, the sun will rise. A stunning and fearless achievement to be savored

Luke Andrew Black's departure from ambient music feels very much reminiscent of where my own head is at these days: Needing a certain amount of viscerality in order to process feelings through music, whether beautiful or brutal. As a long-time ally of fellow Sorceress alumni Mizmor and Hell, it's no surprise you'll find both here in abundance.

Nambil Mas This is so fucking good! Black metal at its absolute finest! Congrats Andrew! Favorite track: Thirst.

about

Litha is the solo black metal project of ambient composer and live bassist of Mizmor and Hell, Andrew Black. It serves as an outlet for Andrew to channel the lifelong anxiety and depression that have shaped his life, as well as a way to wrestle with guilt caused by the dissonance between a desire for altruism and his disposition towards misanthropy.

Andrew is originally from Salem, Oregon, where he met early friends and collaborators, ALN of Mizmor and MSW of Hell, to form their band, Sorceress. After Sorceress ended, Andrew began exploring ambient music with the intention of expressing himself more fully but found it difficult to convey everything he had hoped to in that genre.

"Litha represents a distinct departure from my ambient music," Andrew says. "This project was born out of my need to vent the uglier and angrier emotions that have been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Ambient music has been a great way to express more melancholic emotions, but I needed a way to process my anger and pain, which I've historically hidden away from others. I felt like I couldn’t say everything I needed to in instrumental ambient music, so I decided I needed an additional outlet. Litha is that outlet and an effort to bring that ugliness to the surface to process it instead of continuing to hide it."

Litha’s self-titled debut album will be released on November 17th on vinyl and cassette and all digital platforms via Tartarus Records.

Hello Mr. Mizmor. Your finest work yet, I do say. I incidentally met your wife at PDX-Airport because I happened to recognize her Hebrew-style patch. A good woman you've found. We implore you to please consider rekindling Urzeit, resurrecting Vrasubatlat and/or otherwise propagating Hell, Ash Borer, Predatory Light, Merkstave, etc. You have the power & the whole world is depending on you (!).
