"POST MORTEM INVICTUS," Luci Ferrum's new EP, is a darkwave/industrial release that is tightly wound and full of emotion. It feels both personal and cinematic. The project sets its mood right away with heavy, textured basslines colliding with analog-synthetic layers and orchestral accents that sound like echoes of conflict and rebirth in the background. It has five tracks and lasts just over 18 minutes.

Luci Ferrum is from Russia but now lives in the Dominican Republic. Her music has a cross-cultural intensity. Her music plays with tension, shadow, and change. Throughout "POST MORTEM INVICTUS," she writes about self-destruction, resilience, and transcendence in a way that feels real and not like she's putting on a show. The EP sounds like one long emotional story, with each song leading into the next. This makes for a great listening experience for fans of darkwave, industrial, and atmospheric electronic music.
Two of the best songs on the EP, "Funny Guy" and "Push and Pull," show how diverse it is. "Funny Guy" mixes danger with calmness, with a pulsing bass and synthetic textures that slowly get tighter. It's a song that works well with mood, drawing the listener into its dark undertow without going into too much detail. "Push and Pull," on the other hand, uses contrast to its advantage. The sonic tension mirrors the emotional conflict, making it one of the EP's most interesting parts.
Luci Ferrum's voice is what really makes "POST MORTEM INVICTUS" stand out. Her voice is raw and emotionally direct, cutting through the thick production to be both a guide and a wound in the music. The vocals feel like they're part of the soundscape. This fits with the EP's themes of survival and inner struggle.
