Thick
digipak covers.
After
the well-acclaimed studio albums "Earthen" (2007) and
"Icon" (2011), and their latest live album "Live Recording 8.10.11"
(2012) LENTO are now presenting their brand new third full length called
"Anxiety Despair Languish".
The
greatest ambition of this album is to keep alive the immediacy of “Earthen”
with the violence and aggressiveness of “Icon”.
However, Anxiety Despair Languish is something more respect Lento's past
albums: it tries to make a summary of the whole heavy music panorama of our
time. The result is the most ambitious
work that they could make: an album for people who are not used to that kind of
music, and for people who solely like that kind of music.
The
highly renowned loudness of their live performance has been reproduced in
studio through the work of Lorenzo Stecconi and Matteo Spinazze. Thirteen
instrumental songs which does not sigh for the voice lack for a total running
of 40 minutes and 50 seconds. After several intense years touring the whole
europe between the 2007 and the 2012, this album represent a key moment in the
band history.
«…The
band swims against stream smartly balancing the organic humanity of the guitars
with the escaping life sounds of all their technological artifices…» (Deaf
Sparrow on Earthen)
«…Lento
with the help of down tuned guitars, versatile riffing, intricate rhythms and
exhausting slowness, builds a massive wall of sound…» (Cult Nation on Icon)
«…It's
the sort of riff that will pummel you with a baseball bat and not even take
your wallet afterwards - just violence for sport…» (Rock-a-Rolla on Icon)

Fans of BARONESS, MARE, CULT OF LUNA or SLEEP
