LIGHTS OF VIMANA is an atmospheric/progressive doom metal project that brings together three veteran forces of the extreme doom scene: Riccardo Conforti (Italy, Void of Silence) on drums and synths, Jeremy Lewis (US, Mesmur, Pantheist) on guitars and bass, and Déhà (Belgium, Slow, Cult of Erinyes) on vocals. With "Neopolis", LIGHTS OF VIMANA craft a deeply cinematic and textural sound that diverges from the members' heavier roots, instead weaving together influences from Hans Zimmer, Porcupine Tree, and My Dying Bride. The result is a sonic tapestry that is both immersive and emotionally stirring. Déhà’s predominantly clean, expressive vocals lend a raw, human element to the album’s brooding, futuristic soundscapes, while Conforti’s ambient synth layers and Lewis’s expansive riffs create a dynamic interplay of beauty and desolation. The album paints a vivid portrait of a dystopian world - cold, vast, and haunting - where shimmering atmospheres meet the crushing weight of doom. It is a journey through collapse and transcendence, where every note feels like a flicker of light in the ruins of tomorrow.
