#3 - Urna - Iter ad Lucem
Urna is a band who's musicians have no interest in the stage or having fans or ever attaining any exposure on a grand scale. They stay strictly in the studio creating music for one environment as described in an interview with Mortem Webzine, "...turning the light of your room off, lying alone in your own bed and then wearing your headphones playing the cd on stereo." This approach might come off as pretentious but i appreciate their decision to remain in obscurity. Iter ad Lucem is a work of art that was only meant to be experienced on a deeply personal level. The passages on this album lead the mind into darkness and loss and places normal people won't explore willingly. With each passing track you become more and more accustomed to the style, but in a way that exposes you, that identifies your weakness and capitalizes on it. If you're already prone to question yourself, listening to Iter ad Lucem isn't going to give you any answers. It's going to emphasize the futility of existence and leave you feeling alone. Listen with caution, but appreciate the profound emotional effect this can potentially evoke.
