Umbra Conscientia will release The Shine of Thagirion on 9 December through Terratur Possessions, the third full length from a black metal band whose members sit between Costa Rica and Germany.
Seven tracks, a little over thirty seven minutes in all, opening on the short Foreshadowing and closing on El Resplandor de Thagirion, which is the album title again in Spanish. Extinguisher of the Sun, Solace Denied, Spiritual Drought, We Summon Thee and Throne of Fear fill the middle, and We Summon Thee is the longest of them at just over seven minutes.
The band came together in 2018 and had Yellowing of the Lunar Consciousness out the year after, then Nigredine Mundi in 2022. It grew from three members to five in the same year, when C.H. came in on bass and T. on guitars, alongside Aether, the singer F. and the drummer A.N.L.
Costa Rica is listed as the country of origin and the Spanish closing title is the only one on the record that is not in English. Terratur Possessions releases it on CD.
