Limbonic Art is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band from Sandefjord.
Limbonic Art was formed in 1993 by Daemon, and was originally a full band featuring 3 other members. Daemon got in touch with Morfeus after the demise of the first line-up. The first recording, a rehearsal demo, was released independently in 1995. The debut album Moon in the Scorpio was released in 1996. The follow-up, 1997's In Abhorrence Dementia, was supported by a tour opening for Emperor, and a year later Limbonic Art issued its third LP, Epitome of Illusions. In 2003, the band decided to split up with a statement from the official site saying "We feel that we have reached as far as we could in our collaboration ... the circle is complete, begin another".
On June 6, 2006, Limbonic Art reunited and started to write new material. On February 21, 2007 it was announced that the band plans to release the new album entitled Legacy of Evil in the summer.
A subsequent dispute between the band members resulted in Morfeus being ousted from the band, making Limbonic Art essentially Daemon's solo project. He has currently completed the new Limbonic Art release, named Phantasmagoria, out summer 2010.
I cross dimensions unseen to ride on the axis of dreams
As I drift on through the dark corridors of post mortem
The only light in the darkness
Is the flame that burns
In my soul
I intend to follow the eternal flame of my secrecy
Emancipate the mortal world as minds redeem from the mortuary
The only life in the darkness
Is the force that yearns
In my soul
The black funeral uniform
Gives me powers
I'm catching without warning
The dark paranormal calling
A putrefied shadow that
In purgatory dwell
Imprisoned by the cold anxious pits of hell
A serpent in my soul
In midnight's aura as
A ghostly fire
The child prodigy
Of abysmal desire
As the deathlike silence pervades
The incubus now invades
Show yourself unclean spirit
Tonight I give thy shadow life
Rise with me in darkest blessing
Thine demon force
I feel possessing
A holotropic mind and spectral eyes divine
Through the shallow haze
As sky turns red
The calling
In sarcophagus sleep embraced by night so mystic deep
Through my minds I see from the grace of clairvoyancy
Into the secret garden of disharmonia
Black antique chambers of morbid euphoria
As a precursor of death my ghoul proceed
In black cosmic material and sepulchral symphonies
I cross dimensions unseen to ride on the axis of dreams
