Over the years, Thulcandra has consistently built up a solid discography, with albums such as "Fallen Angels Dominion," "Under a Frozen Sun," and "Ascension Lost," before moving to their more recent works like "A Dying Wish" and single releases including "Hail the Abyss" and "Blood of Slaves." Their releases are noted for their thematic depth, exploring dark, esoteric, and philosophical themes, all while maintaining a high level of musical proficiency. Thulcandra's commitment to the essence of black metal, combined with their ability to evolve their sound, has cemented their status as a notable act within the metal community.
