Nebulae 11:30
Nebulae Carina Keyhole Owl Orion Helix Swan Horsehead Eagle Cat´s Eye Lagoon Swirling clouds of gas and dust, Glowing light into the dark, Colourful, beautiful, magnificent, Enchanting mind and soul. Remnants of old, transforming stars Floating through the cold, black void Illuminating graciously their path, Like casting a magic spell. Clouds in rainbow colours, Gorgeous to the eye, Spread out in the black void, Daunting in size. Packed with so much power, Wanting to be free, In the swirling colours, New stars come to be. From this wild and chaotic realm emerges something new. Like a hidden gem inside a rock Waiting to be found. A source of light, of warmth, of power, The clouds drift apart To reveal a newborn star. This domain in colour is the cradle of the stars, this region of power is the cradle of new stars. This domain is the cradle of the stars, this domain is the cradle of new stars. Cradle of the stars, cradle of new stars. Yet to be discovered The origins are Of the shapes surrounding The transforming stars. Spread out over vast space, Enormous in size, Deep within the colours Great power lies. Enchanting, shimmering These colours are. No match on earth of such Power by far. This display of force is Forever beautiful, so beautiful. Carina Keyhole Owl Orion Helix Swan Horsehead Eagle Cat´s Eye Lagoon

A Dream of Fading Stars As time began the first of us were born, Emerging in a realm, black and forlorn. Casting the first light shining through the dark, Creating the first warmth ousting the bitter chill. Playing with gravity, speeding through the void. Setting subtle sparks of evolution – the origin of life. Our lives differ in length, our power differs in strength. Our diversity is great, following several paths of fate. Some of us shine constant and even, others dance to a rhythm set, As lone stars, in clusters formed or in a circling net. Some of us perish tumultuous and quick, others slowly diminish and fade. The shining light goes dark, the comforting warmth grows cold. And though our light may not be infinite, we are eternal still. Nothing is truly lost and of old arises new.

about

"A Luminous Cycle" is the first release since "A Voidchaser's Elegy" in early 2022.

THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE BANDCAMP RELEASE.

This EP is also the first Eirð release introducing Gina Marjoram as full time member and main female vocalist, therefore her voice is the only one to be heard on this EP apart from a few atmospheric whispers .

In contrast to previous releases "A Luminous Cycle" features a "lighter" note according to the emotional expression and is furthermore the first album since the "A Silent Spirit's Aftermath" demo from 2014 to contain actual lyrics, written and performed by Gina herself on this EP.

"A Luminous Cycle" is a voyage through the universe, we recommend to listen via headphones while difting away towards other spheres.

Eirð

Eirð is Icelandic for peace of mind, inner calm and balance - a state we are all yearning for.
Such yearning is also reflected in the music of Eirð's main protagonist Andreas Georg Libera (ex-Cold Embrace, ex-Spirit Descent), which he delivers with serenity ... music to drift away and to let go...to immerse yourself in
