Athens, Greece based ambient post black metal warriors SPECTRAL LORE, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands new single, "NO EXCUSES FOR FASCIST SYMPATHIES" (BOOK OF SAND COVER) , unleashed 3/25/2019 via BANDCAMP.
SPECTRAL LORE unleashed "HELIAN" (SPLIT) with JUTE GYTE, 1/18/2018 via I, VOIDHANGER RECORDS.
SPECTRAL LORE also unleashed "FOSSILS" (EP), 12/31/2016 via I, VOIDHANGER RECORDS.
FROM SPECTRAL LORE:
So, I will be starting with some new music right away. This is a cover of a Book of Sand song, a band that I respect and admire deeply, both for its musical and conceptual side. I couldn't imagine years ago that I would be making music with a direct political message and I don't think I'll do it again for some time, but it was very important for me now. It's not just the black metal scene that has been turning more and more reactionary over these last years, it's the world itself. And it's a very dangerous time in history that we currently live in. Fascism needs to be opposed firmly and decisively.
Hallo, this is Ayloss. In case this says nothing to you, I'm the guy behind the music of Spectral Lore. I'd like to thank Alejandro Mojocó Ramirez for maintaining this page for so long as a fan-page and promoting my music, in the many years that I was withdrawn in the recesses of the underground. As of now, I'm an administrator, so this page should be considered official.
You might have noticed my chronic lack of online presence, if you've been following my music for long. The concept of Spectral Lore from the very start was to be a 'ghostly' entity. One that doesn't try to grab you by the arm in reaching for your attention, but rather is there, distantly, as a hidden gift to those that look carefully. I've followed this concept for long and it has already shown me whatever was to be learned from it. At this point, I'd like to open up a little, because one of the things that I've come to understand, is that self-imposed limitations can be good, but will eventually turn their back on you and bite you. I've submerged my own self a little bit too much in the artistic vision of Spectral lore and now I'd like to make up for it, by speaking directly to those that appreciate and have supported my art over the years.

I wanted
to make a such a statement for a long time now and the New Zealand mass
shooting was the final tipping point. I can't understand how we can go
on after such a consciousness-ripping event with the same kind of
apologia, horseshoe-theory or downright nazi fascination that's often
met in this music. In any case though, let me be completely clear: fuck
racism, fascism, white supremacy and also every other form of bigotry
like sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism and so on. If any of the
above offends you, too bad. I'm pretty sure that some people will be,
but you ought to know where I stand, so it would be best to do this from
the beginning. To all others, I hope you enjoy it, and also don't
forget to listen to the original song and the fantastic album where it
comes from.

So, what I should really start is with a big thank you. Thanks for
supporting me and for your continued interest, without which I would
have definitely be unable to continue in the same manner. I'll have lots
of things to share in the coming months, from thoughts and remembrances
about old recordings and ideas that have to do, or doesn't have to do
directly with music, to news about upcoming recordings and releases, of
which there are many, by the way. Cheers,
