Started in 1998 Lacklustre Mirror band had always been a non-commercial project, performing the music its members define as 'dark art rock'; the word 'dark' doesn't mean there is any relation to 'dark rock' itself, but the band's music is indeed gloomy and dark in its mood and atmosphere. Also there are many elements from the styles regarded to as belonging to 'dark scene' - ethereal, darkwave, dark ambient and, especially, neoclassic. Such eclecticism is on of the most notable features of the bands debut album The Book of the Shattered Bonds, recently released by label. This album contains most of the earlier songs, written between 1998 and 2005. "The Book..." had been recorded only by three people helped by sound engineer Michael 'Mikelair' Maximov: Marea Internum - vocals, b. - keys, vox, drums prog., Celestial Air - guitar, bass, vocals. Soon after the album was ready, Celestial Air decided to leave to concentrate on the other project, Lacklustre Mirror's keyboardist b. also is involwed with - Children of the Gun. He was soon replaced with COTG's frontman ScHADE. Currently a new, live-oriented lineup is formed. The band has also started recording its second album - 'Forgotten Songs', a direct sequel to 'The Book of the Shattered Bonds'.
