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.

Since release of the debut album, this band is handled as one of the most promising bands of this genre as a lot of experts, from Poland as well as across Europe, see it in their reviews: metal-archives.com[1], bravewords.com[2], demonszone[3], crossfire-metal.de[4], grande-rock.com[5], deathmagnetic.pl[6], rockarea.eu[7], metalforever.info[8], eternal-terror.com[9] - just to name a few. In Poland itself public interest grew within a few days after the release that 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 official album release. A part of this show can still be seen on Telewizja Żyrardowska[10].

gollark: Villains should really read the evil overlord list: http://eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
gollark: Most villains in, well, media seem pretty stupid. They're just "ah yes I will be evil for no reason", do stupid things, and get surprised when they fail.
gollark: What is or isn't a bottleneck is obviously heavily dependent on what you actually do with your computer/what games you play/etc, and you can't get some convenient exact value, let alone one to ~~one decimal place~~ 3 significant figures.
gollark: I wouldn't really take automatic bottleneck calculators very seriously.
gollark: The iPhone Xyzzy PlusProS™ will actually deprecate all non-Apple WiFi connectivity because everyone knows it's unreliable and obviously 5G™ or Apple 6G™ are better.
