Italy's Laetitia In Holocaust has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an avant garde form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Fanciulli D'Occidente" which will be released on May 31st by Dusktone.
A very heavy and avant garde sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly of grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and and a brief use of melodic singing .
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while clean playing is also added into certain sections of the recording. Synths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album along with the solos and leads also bring in a very melodic and dissonant style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Stringed instruments, acoustic guitars, synths, whispers and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well as one song also being an instrumental, a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Laetitia In Holocaust and if you are a fan of avant garde black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Celestial And Buried" and "From Plowshares To Swords". 8 out of 10.
