Astral Spectre was founded as a solo project by Tenebros in 2020. It is a blend of harsh 1st wave Black Metal vocals, and guitar riffs that evoke the unique feeling of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Inspired by classic rock of the 70s, a hammond organ is also included into the soundscape. The first three songs were written and recorded during 2020 while the mixing and mastering was done in 2021, leading to the release of the demo "The Oath is Broken" on two limited runs of self produced tapes. About one year later, in the first half of 2022, the debut album "Phantom Nightmare" was finished, including a guest performance and co-songwriter credits of Befana with clarinet and flute. The album was first released as a self produced tape and marks the beginning of the cooperation of Astral Spectre and Northern Silence Productions, who will release CDs, and in 2023 also LPs.
