Lacrau are a band from Portugal that plays a mixture of depressive black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Axioma" which will b e released in September by Monumental Rex.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and clean playing can be heard in certain sections of the recording.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and clean playing can be heard on the closing track which is also an instrumental
Lacrau plays a musical style of takes a depressive form of black metal and mixes it with doom metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Portuguese and is a concept album based upon the legendary Scandinavian senicide ritual.
In my opinion Lacrau are a very great sounding depressive mixture of black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Doenca" and "Veneno". 8 out of 10.
