An Alignment of Dead Stars is Drowning the Light’s 2009 album, steeped in raw, atmospheric black metal with a deeply melancholic and vampyric character.
Cold grandeur and pervasive sorrow shape the record, carrying its long descent through shadowed ritual, martial resolve and funereal isolation. It stands as a substantial entry in the Australian project’s extensive catalogue.
CD edition released in 2023. Catalogue DA055. Originally released in 2009. Reissue dated June 6, 2023; jewel-case packaging; described as a limited edition, but no reliable copy count was verified.
