The band was formed in 1998, but acquired its name in 1999, after the keyboardist b. started his own solo project. Eventually, 'Lacklustre Mirror' became the name for the band. We knew a lot of troubles and problems, and little success so far, but this year we'll finally have the first two albums released by Shadowplay Label as a single CD. The album 'The Book of the Shattered Bonds' will consist of two parts - 'Dark Water', and 'Shattered Bonds'. The third part - 'Forgotten Songs' will follow in a year or so.

The song 'Mother is Going Home' had been featured at 'Colours of Black' Russian Dark Scene Compilation, released in 2004 by 'Shadowplay Release' Label.

Unto Ashes, the band around Michael Laird, is an American gothic medieval band. Pretty much some sort of Estampie of the New World. Their repertoire however is fully inspired by the Old World. Songs for a Widow is their album and this one is released with projekt in the USA and Pandaimonium in Europe.
High-pitched ethereal vocals are dressed up with a rich instrumentation in which influences from classical (‘Intacta Sum’), medieval, oriental (‘Convivio’, ‘Drei Todesarten’), symphonic rock and darkwave music have been processed. The combinations of sounds and atmospheres are sometimes a bit peculiar yet they create a versatile album to listen to. A song such as ‘You Will Never Know’ has a layer of metal guitars, with a low-tuned guitar sound combined with ethereal vocals and black metal like half whispered screams. ‘The Life of this World’ is more towards traditional neofolk, ‘Occupying Force’ has a martial touch and ‘I Am Untouched’ with the electronic beats goes in the direction of the sound of Qntal.

The album is opened with a reference to Covenant’s ‘One World One Sky’ disguised as a requiem, and ended with a jolly medieval cover version of that same song. A bit strange yet very tasteful. This also goes for the entire album. The tracks unfortunately are a bit short in duration yet this has the advantage you won’t get bored very quickly as you are constantly introduced to different musical styles and influences.

Notes: This is the promo of the regular version, a limited edition will contain two further bonus tracks.

老牌Dark Wave团体，早在6月Promo就已经在网上流传出来，一直没下，昨日闲的无聊拉之，一听，啧啧，真是好久没听到的Dark Wave啊，现在少有团体去做这类现在好似已落时的音乐，不过我觉得还不错，不差，正式唱片多了2首Bonus，其他和Promo的一样。
