A Black Moon Broods over Lemuria

A Black Moon Broods over Lemuria, is Bal-Sagoth's 1995 debut album after their 1993 demo. The album was recorded in a two week period in June 1994, but due to label problems the album was released almost a year later. The name Lemuria comes from a hypothetical land mass in the Indian Ocean. The keyboard intro on this album was written and performed by Keith Appleton, the proprietor of Academy Music Studio, the studio where the album was recorded.^[1]
