Litosth are a duo from Brazil that plays a very melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Cesariana" which will be released in February by Personal Records.
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with the songs also adding in elements of death, doom and dark metal.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts as well as one song also introducing clean playing onto the album, one track also adds in touches of 80's era dark pop. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover existence themes
In my opinion Litosth are a very great sounding melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In Waves" "The Clay Messiah" and "The Vacuum Extractor Paradigm". 8 out of 10.
