Germany's Lantlos has returned with a new recording which shows them moving even more far away from the black metal elements of earlier releases and focusing more on an alternative metal direction and this is a review of their 2026 album "Nowhere In Between Forever" which will be released in April by Prophecy Productions.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album while also bringing in more of a mainstream 90's to early 2000's style. Vocals are done in more of a clear alternative rock style along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also bring in more of a melodic style more rooted in alternative metal and post rock. Synths are also added into certain sections of the album along with a lot of the music sounding like it could of easily fit on a modern rock radio station 25 to 30 years ago.
Clean playing is also utilized at times as well as some songs also adding in elements of electronic music and the whole recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction and also avoids any extreme or black metal elements. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover modernity, abstractness and surrealism themes.
In my opinion this is another decent sounding recording from Lantlos and while some black metal fans might not like the new direction, I can see this album appealing to fans of alternative metal. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Daisies" "Jeanet" "Planets" and "Windhunter". 7 out of 10.
