VIAMAER is a space that was born out of silence — out of the moments when a person is left alone with themselves, with their own tension, fear, calm, and everything that comes between. It is a project that did not emerge from the need to create music, but from the need to express something that cannot be spoken in words.
Behind VIAMAER stands Krystian Jurkiewicz, though the project itself is not centered around a name. It is a way of capturing states a person goes through; a method of giving shape to the intangible yet deeply real. Sound became a natural tool — a place where emotions do not need to be explained, because they can be heard in melody, timbre, contrast, and the silence between notes.
Krystian defines VIAMAER with one sentence that guides the entire project:
“Musica vitae meae pars est, affectus autem ea sunt quae narro.”
Music is a part of my life, and emotions are what I narrate.
In the context of the album, he adds:
“Inter sonos animam tuam reperies.”
Among the sounds, you will find your soul.
The debut album “In lumine lunae” was created slowly, over two years, in the rhythm of life — at times accelerated, at times fractured, at times paused. This is not a collection of songs.
It is a sequence of states in which Polish lyrics lead an intimate narration, while Latin titles open the material to a deeper, more symbolic dimension.
VIAMAER has no ambition to be everything for everyone. It is a project for those who listen not only with their ears, but also with their soul.
VIAMAER “In lumine lunae” is an emotional, raw, and spacious album blending blackgaze, post-black metal, and shoegaze.
Music for debut album was composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Krystian Jurkiewicz. Cover artwork was done by Piotr Pryk. Album will be released January 29, 2026 in digital format, on tape, CD and LP. Pre-order is available ➡ here.
