Lustmord CD

Lustmord can safely be called a legend, and his 2024 Much Unseen Is Also Here album is worthy of that title in every moment. He was featured on the previous mixtape as well, and will appear on the upcoming second one too.

“My music is not meant to be explained - only listened to as a means of exposing the sheer insignificance of our primitive thoughts and actions within the vast scale of the cosmos - a scale which we as a species are ill equipped to comprehend.”
