Lux Perpetua is a Polish power metal band founded in 2003 by Paweł Zasadzki, Tomasz Sałaciński, and Emil Łazarski.

History

The band was founded in 2009 in Podkowa Leśna by Paweł Zasadzki. After recording some songs (including "The Legend" and "An Old Bard"), the band started playing their first shows. Lux Perpetua recorded their first EP, Forever We Stand, in Red Yeti Studio and released it in 2014. Marcin Rykiel and Emil Łazarski later left the band, and Artur Rosiński joined as their new vocalist. The group then began recording their debut album, The Curse of the Iron King, in HZ Studio near Warsaw.

In the meantime, the band signed an agreement with Insignis Publishing Company to perform a song and record a video for Robert J. Szmidt's book Wieża. The video and song ("Pociąg do Piekła Bram" - Polish version of the song "Straight back to hell") were released on YouTube in May 2016.

On February 28, 2017, the band released their debut album. In Poland itself, public interest grew within a few days after the release so much that even a TV station decided to send a film crew to their release show, which happened (due to other appointments) a few days after the official album release. A part of this show can still be seen on Telewizja Żyrardowska.^[1]
