DESCRIPTION:
Lux Occulta (which is Latin for "hidden light" or "the secrets of light") is a Polish avant-garde metal band, founded in late 1994. Their work, also strongly influenced by progressive metal and black metal, commonly incorporates elaborate arrangements often featuring multiple sections and unpredictable time changes.

In 2001 the band started recording the album "The Mother and the Enemy" but during the recording Kriss left the band and was replaced by sessions drummer Gerard Niemczyk.

The album was eventually released same year, and the band has been mostly dormant since 2002, although they posted a message to their MySpace several years ago indicating that they were working on new material and looking for a new drummer; however, nothing has been heard since. In 2012 it was announced that Lux Occulta has begun recording new album
