A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria is Bal-Sagoth's 1995 debut album after their 1993 demo. It was recorded in a two-week period in June 1994, but due to label problems the album was released almost a year later. The name Lemuria comes from a hypothetical land mass in the Indian Ocean. The keyboard intro on this album was written and performed by Keith Appleton, the proprietor of Academy Music Studio, the studio where the album was recorded. On 13 May 2016 the album was re-released by Cacophonous Records as a special edition CD featuring remastered audio, expanded lyric booklet, new sleeve notes and exclusive new artwork. Until September 2026, 'A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria' remained the only one of the band's Cacophonous era albums to have been given a vinyl release, first in 1995 as a single disc LP, and then as a double vinyl gatefold edition in 2016. Ultimately, the German label Darkness Shall Rise Productions would reissue the band's first three albums on vinyl on 15 September 2026. In January 2018 the album was issued as a limited edition cassette version by the Malaysian label Diabolicurst Productions under license from Cacophonous Records.
