Spectral Lore - Gnosis

"Gnosis" is the second part in a series of shorter and more experimental releases that Spectral Lore has undertaken for 2015, each focusing on a specific style, as opposed to a regular SL full-length, which is a collection of all kinds of music. The album was born out of the idea of experimenting with oriental music, using a metal instrumentation. It was decided by Ayloss not to study the music beforehand, but to invoke the unconscious remembrance of it (one that is very present in the substratum of Greek folk music and culture) in order to get it out distorted and mixed, hopefully in an interesting way, with the usual elements of metal and western scales, to create thusly a kind of fusion.
