Locus Titanic Funus/Castus Lacrima/Metal Scrap Records/2013 CD Review


  Locus  Titanic  Funus  are  a  band  from  Ukraine  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black,  gothic  and  doom  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Castus  Lacrima"  which  was  released  by  Metal  Scrap  Records.

  Drum  programming  ranges from  slow  to  mid  paced  beats,  while  the  synths  bring  a  very  atmospheric,  dark,  symphonic  and  gothic  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  are  all  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  black,  funeral  doom  and  gothic  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  doom  metal  guitar  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  funeral  doom  growls,  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams,  clean  singing  female  and  male  vocals  and  some  spoken  word  parts, while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  depressive  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  dark  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Locus  Titanic  Funus  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  black,  doom  and  gothic  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Morphine"  and  "Covered  With  Sorrow".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
