The Grimoire of Lerna
Λερναῖα Ὕδρα — Electronic Press Kit
"I am Lerna. I do not belong to your world. Open this grimoire and know my truth."
The Legend
From the cryptic depths of Usaquén, Bogotá, Spectral emerged in 2016 as a formidable trinity in Colombia's extreme metal scene. The band, composed of the mystic triumvirate Ajatar, Vritrá, and Avagoth — known as The Heads of Lerna — forged their path through extreme metal with atmospheric passages, creating a gateway between mortal realms and dimensions beyond.
Their sound weaves literary horror, ancient mythology, and raw sonic aggression into rituals that blur the line between concert and conjuration. Each composition is a chapter in Lerna's ever-expanding grimoire — a chronicle of venomous queens, swampborn prophecies, and resurrected horrors.
