In this episode, we speak with Kommander L. of the most extreme Lithuanian black metal band, LUCTUS!

In the wake of the newly released album "Tamsošviesa" and in anticipation of the upcoming Luctus concert at Melnā Piektdiena in Riga, Latvia, on March 14, 2026, we have a conversation about everything Luctus...

From the band's history and evolution to their mindset, attitude, and philosophy, we get a glimpse into what makes Luctus unique and an undeniable presence for more than 20 years.

This conversation is not only a reflection on Luctus but also on the metal music scene, both local and global. Have an open-minded listen to what Kommander L. has to say; you will be left with thoughts that will inspire you on your own journey!
