A review from Postindustry (March 18, 2007)

Okładka i tytuł debiutanckiego dzieła niejakiego Simona AA Kölle, ukrywającego się pod szyldem Musterion, nieco skojarzyła mi się wydawnictwami ‚nowonarodzonych ambientowców‘ w stylu Elend, Mortiis czy Akhenaton. W końcu w „Mrocznych Lożach“ pojawiają się kościotrupy, stare lalki… Brakuje mi jeszcze tylko średniowiecznego smoka. Nic bardziej mylnego. Musterion to po grecku tajemnica. I to słowo dobrze pasuje...

As for now reasonably unknown names,...

Fast alle Passagen auf diesem Album sind sehr finster, sobald man die schwarze Hütte betreten hat, geht es immer tiefer ins Dunkle hinein. Stillere, gruselige Soundcollagen werden hier stellenweise mit krachigen...

A review from Maelstrom Zine (April, 2006)

It’s a fact: dark ambient and doom bands love H. P. Lovecraft. He’s certainly THE writer to draw inspiration from when writing an album in that genre. Musterion is one of the few bands to really achieve making that influence come out in the sound without making it stupidly obvious or cheesy, as opposed to the millions of bands using it as a marketing stunt. Variety is the keyword for The Black Lodge. It incorporates elements...
