Numenorean is a post-black metal band hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, that has steadily carved a niche for themselves within the heavy music scene since their formation in 2011. The band was founded by brothers Byron and Brandon Lemley, who sought to transcend the confines of traditional black metal and imbue their sound with more expansive and emotive elements. Numenorean's music is characterized by a melancholic and atmospheric approach, blending gut-wrenching harshness with moments of ethereal beauty.
Their debut release, "Demo 2014," laid the groundwork for their poignant style, offering a glimpse into their potential to merge shoegaze sensibilities with the aggression of black metal. Numenorean's first full-length album, "Home," was released in 2016 to critical acclaim within the underground metal community. Building upon the foundation of their demo, "Home" delved into themes of loss and existential despair, set against a backdrop of soaring melodies and raw intensity. Numenorean further refined their signature sound with their sophomore effort, "Adore," released in 2019. This album saw the band pushing their creative boundaries even further, with tracks like "Regret" and "Coma" showcasing a matured songwriting prowess that cemented their place among the most innovative acts in modern metal. Numenorean's artistry lies in their ability to craft deeply affecting music that resonates with a sense of both anguish and awe, making them a standout in the genre.
