Lusca - Blood & Promises
Release Date: September 6th, 2024
MT REcords
Lusca have created an oppressively fabulous album here. "Blood and Promises" caters to "heavy" in the true sense. Hypnotic and crushing, they embody shattering industrial simplicities with pulverizing doom punishments. This album draws similarities to greats such as Godflesh, Killing Joke and perhaps the heavier side of classic Swans. I enjoy musicians that can create so much with so little. Brutal in their sound, Lusca are almost cruel in their creations. With that said there is a tranquil quality present as well. This is defined not in a calming sense but an emotive response to their general sound. "Barren Earth" stands out for me on the album. It begins with subtle electronic bass notes and hi-hat hits that build into greater trance-like movements. Lusca understand the complexities of writing effective straightforward music.
"Blood & Promises" is their fourth full length album. Starting in 2002, Lusca represents an old mainstay of Germain industrial metal. They have been able to share the stage with accomplished acts such as Wolves In The Throne Room and personal favorites Nadja. Check them out!
