| The latest offering by this Chilean combo presents a bunch of very well structured and played songs, with a lot more dynamism that helps the flow of the songs and also some good headbanging. Being the second effort by Lapsus Dei, "In our sacred places" shows a huge improvement in songwriting heading towards a more personal adaptation of what Doom/Death should be. The result is 4 songs (plus intro and outro) for about 30 minutes of raw, maybe old school, but incredibly catching Death Metal-influenced Doom Metal in its purest form with lyrics dealing with early 19th century Romanticism poetry. Think early Paradise Lost, early My Dying Bride or Ceremonium with hints of Bolt Thrower. |
