Interviews About Albums: Reflecting The Light - Reflecting The Light (2024)

In this new interview, we sat down with the Atmospheric Post-Metal band Reflecting The Light to ask questions about their self-titled album.

1. What can you say about this new EP/CD?

The eponymous album “Reflecting the Light” is an instrumental music album that blends Post-metal, ambient, and black metal music. I founded the band in 2016 and the album was self-released in 2019. Now it was re-issued in January 2024 through Bitume in digisleeve cd. That’s approximately the story behind the project. Musically, I wanted something less brutal and slower than my other project Thy Apokalypse (black metal) at that time. It is some kind of mutual response between my projects like echoes between them. After this album, I started to compose for my doom metal project for instance. (another echoe)

2. What is the meaning of the EP/CD name?

Reflecting the Light means something is reflected in this project. The artwork was made to reflect the concept of “fiat lux” in some sort and was inspired by auroras borealis and reflections on lakes.

3. Which one is the composer of the CD/EP?

Adunakhor Z./Adz. is the only composer of this album and the only member of the project. But, I worked with Buck who did the audio mixing and mastering, with V. Anxietas who created the artwork, and Derrek who did the promotional artwork. 

4. If you had to pick one song, which one would you pick?

It will be ‘IV’, definitively. It reflects the mix between ambient and post-black metal in this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpQdAOemyUc

5. Is there a special message in this EP/CD? If there is what it is?

It aims to lead you into the space void and to help you release yourself during the 40 minutes that last the album.

6. Are there some lyrics that you'd love to share?

As it is an instrumental music album, there’s no lyric I can share.

7. Which inspirations have been important for this album? Like musically or friends, family, someone you'd love to thank especially?

There were no important inspirations for this album, except the “things” that came to me to build it. But, afterward, I became aware that I was a little bit inspired by bands like Chaos Moon, Cult of Luna, and Spectral Lore.

8. Something to add?

Well, thank you for your interview.
