Stardust Sermons by Silvern
Silvern, a black metal band from Ukraine, is set to release their debut album, "Stardust Sermons". Driven by a shared passion for black metal, Silvern decided to self-record and mix the album to achieve a raw and gritty sound.
The journey to completing "Stardust Sermons" was challenging, with multiple postponements due to the full-scale aggression from Russia. The band released their first single, "Lorn", on February 22, 2022, just two days before the war began, leading to a hiatus. They made a comeback on June 1, 2023, with their second single, "Still Higher Than Saviour's Star". Following this, Silvern partnered with Vendetta Records to release their debut album.
"Stardust Sermons" is a conceptual journey that follows a faceless character from the opening track "Lorn" to the closing track "Still Higher Than Saviour's Star." The album explores how the character's perception of reality shifts through various encounters and challenges. It highlights the duality of human belief, showing that not everything black is truly black, and not everything white is truly white. The album delves into humanity's need for belief and the unknown mysteries of life, capturing interactions with people, nature, religion, science, and the cosmos
