(record review)LAUTREAMONT-“Silence of the diseased”

I just love underground extreme music scene and discovering new and dismal and great sounding bands. I found another one and Lautreamont is worth your time if you like Slavic black death metal with lyrics in native Russian language.

130933

Formed in 2015. and hailing from the utter depths of Russia, namely Novorossiysk, a port city on the Black Sea in Southern Russia this avantgarde black death metal trio released one e.p. “Insomnia” and took their time in preparing the full length album because I believe they wanted everything produced and prepared for the fans to be just perfect. When the record started to play, the first thing I noticed was how strong the bass sounds in the production like it is carrying the song structure. The second thing I noticed are some eerie back melodies in the first song “Evil” and how the band sounds tight and well played. “Father” just blew my mind with machine gun riffing and I almost felt torn from within with this music. The lyrics are in Russian and the atmosphere is dark, bleak and it images the bleak and desperate greyness of post Soviet Russia. the country which inspired a lot of dark songs and awesome bands. The title song is for me one of the best songs on the record with epic but raw atmosphere. “Psalm” again has some eeried sounds that is like electronic mixed with singing in the background and it sounds awesome. “Epitaph” mixes slow almost sludgy atmospheric parts with some proggressive and straight brutal parts making it an awesome soundscape. The last song “Coda” is an instrumental with almost dark ambient vibe and with it we accept the inevitable end. Awesome album!

“Ignis Fatuus” is the first single from the great new album Alif which features a phenomenal German drummer Hannes Grossmann (ex Necrophagist, ex Obscura, Alkaloid, Blotted Science, Hate Eternal), one of the most admired players in the world of technical death metal. Ignis Fatuus is like a firestorm crossing the desert valley you can only enjoy!

(news)DENS JOIN THE FACEDOWN FAMILY

DENS have found a perfect niche in the space between energetic rock and contemplative ambience. They create an experience that drowns the listener in guitar-driven post-rock and vocal hooks while leaving plenty of room for lyrical exploration. From a wide view DENS are a rock band, although the nuances in their sound send tendrils out into shoegaze, ambient, post-rock, and indie rock concepts. These subtleties put them right at home with Facedown labelmates My Epic, Everything In Slow Motion, and Comrades.

DENS find their mission in using music as a platform to creatively and honestly explore the themes of faith, hope, redemption and grace. The band self-released their debut “From Small Seeds Come Giant Trees” in 2016, and the single “Hopebringer” with Come&Live in 2017. Now Facedown Records is proud to announce “No Small Tempest,” DENS’ highly anticipated four-song follow up to “Small Seeds” releasing June 29.
