Lares are a band from Germany that plays a psychedelic mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Et In Arcadia Ego" which will be released on April 12th by Argonauta Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some noises a few seconds later before going into a very fast direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the slower sections of t he album also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal.
The only track that is present on the album is also over 27 minutes in length while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Synths and clean playing are also utilized at times and also takes the song into more of a psychedelic direction along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well a s the music also adding in some 90's era grunge, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in more of a mid 60's rock style.
Lares plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, doom metal and mixes it with elements of grunge, noise and psychedelic rock to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Lares are a very great sounding psychedelic mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. 8 out of 10.
