In a groundbreaking fusion of holiday tradition and black metal intensity, Finland's Trébuchet SDG has just dropped a Christmas EP that's turning heads in the metal community. "Lux Mundi" is not your typical seasonal release – it's a dark, atmospheric journey that reimagines classic Christmas hymns through the lens of medieval-inspired black metal.
Released on Black Metal Friday (November 29th), "Lux Mundi" is a limited edition CD via The Charon Collective, offering metal fans a truly unique holiday experience. The EP features three classic Christmas hymns, meticulously reinterpreted to transport listeners back to the Dark Ages.
Trébuchet SDG is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Josam, a Finnish artist who has quickly become a standout in the black metal scene. Blacforge Magazine has already hailed Trébuchet SDG as "quite possibly the best black metal artist to arrive in 2023" – a testament to Josam's exceptional musical prowess.
Drawing inspiration from medieval times, classical music, and biblical scriptures, Trébuchet SDG creates a unique atmospheric and symphonic black metal sound. The project seamlessly blends the brutality of black metal with melodic nuances, creating a listening experience that is both intense and deeply atmospheric.
Fans can experience "Lux Mundi" through multiple platforms:

For those seeking a departure from traditional holiday music, "Lux Mundi" offers a dark, intense, and musically sophisticated alternative. It's a must-listen for black metal enthusiasts and those who appreciate innovative musical interpretations of classic hymns.
