Moon in the Scorpio is the debut album by Limbonic Art . It is also the most famous and most important album of the band.

Emergence

Early versions of some songs could already be heard on the band's two promo tapes. In 1996 Samoth of Emperor and Nocturnal Art Productions offered the band a recording deal after hearing their material. It stayed there until it was dissolved. In April 1996 Limbonic Art recorded a promotional tape and released it on Nocturnal Art Productions. An album was also announced that would be released there later this year. Her debut album Moon in the Scorpio came out in the fall .

The album was also released on cassette and double LP . In 2010 a remastered version was released by Candlelight Records .

style

Compared to later albums, the individual songs are almost a quarter of an hour long and have a complex structure with sprawling and sometimes psychedelic keyboard arrangements. The production is powerful, but still harsh and the guitars have a sawing transistor sound. The drum computer gives the music a mechanical, almost technoid character.
