Lamentari are a band from Denmark that plays a very symphonic form of black metal with elements of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Ex Umbra In Lucem".
Choirs start off the album along with some orchestra and symphonic elements which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a goof mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some classical and acoustic guitars also being added on a few songs, spoken word parts and whispers can also be heard briefly.
Lamentari plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive and symphonic sounding as well as adding in elements of death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion Lamentari are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band with elements of death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tenebrae" and "Arcanum Ignis Animae". 8 out of 10.
