Spectral Lore's III, the band's last full album, released in 2014, was an avant-garde, progressive black metal gem, floating in an ocean of mesmerising, cosmic, dark ambience and aiming to provoke the dreamiest of journeys. Following this, Ayloss's one-man band crafted a trilogy of EPs (Voyager, Gnosis and Fossils) with an even more experimental approach and released them in less than a year's time. Spectral Lore's music encountered in full-length releases is multifaceted and multilayered; however, each one of these EPs explores and experiments with mainly one specific style. Gnosis is a musical synthesis of the east and the west, with extensive use of folk and oriental elements and it is probably the best of the three.

I believe the story is called 'Little Red Riding Hood' not 'Little Purple Riding Hood With a Red Shirt'...

And what has Little Red Riding Hood to do with this record?

Voyager was good, but I really liked this. Get a definite Melechesh vibe during the metal sections, and the non-metal parts are done really well too. Pretty impressive job!

Cover art is a painting "Lycinna" (1918) by English painter John William Godward. Felt really sad reading about his life, check it out.

P.S. - This album as a whole cannot be any more beautiful no matter how fucking hard it tried.

This is my SL's favorite release. I find genius the way the music styles are blended in this approach. Always enjoying "Dualism", "Gnosis' Journey Through The Ages" and "A God Made Of Flesh And Consciousness".

Mine too. "A God Made Of Flesh And Consciousness" is... godlike.
