The one-man band Lustre is the baby of artist Nachtzeit who presents a new album of very special music, a record called Wonder. I have to say it right away, what Nachtzeit is doing can only be described as fantastic, his sense of deep mysterious metal comes from the roots of folk metal, and a more elegant way of making metal music will probably be hard to find. There are four long songs on this album, starting with Moonlight Meadow, a slow melancholic folk metal hymn with alien monster kind of elements about it. On the next one, Green Worlds, we get a massive elegant dose of nature power metal with an atmosphere a little difficult to describe, that must be experienced. A Summer Night also consists of mysterious alien monster atmosphere that still stay close to power metal as the main inspiration in the songwriting. Petrichor ends the album in style with slow elegant orchestra heavy metal and binds the whole album together in full harmony and finesse. Black metal combined with folk metal is what gives this album a genius class, one odd record that will not be put in the wastebasket, that's for sure.
