| Lifelorn - The Sin of Want |
There are a multitude of words synonymous with "sad;" depressed, sorrowful, unhappy, mournful, melancholic... The list can go on. What
Lifelorn does in
The Sin of Want audibly unifies those words, creating the concoction of negativity you'd expect from a band classified as "Depressive Suicidal Black Metal."
Lifelorn, a band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, released
The Sin of Want May 8th, 2016, the band's first release in over a year. Immediately, the music fuses with your feelings of despondency, bringing one to a place they could only hope to face in their nightmares.
The album opens up with Hilang, a sorrowful atmospheric track that plays a poignant symphony within your ears. Closing my eyes, a sense of grief encompassed me and I was forced to face my inner-most demons and cower before their overwhelming might. This album may allow one to feel submerged in a gloomy, murky cesspool of depression, causing an altercation with any positive thoughts that may attempt to struggle through.
The Sin of Want features six instrumental tracks, each one considerably melancholic than the next.
Captivating feelings forlorn,
The Sin of Want allows one to feel bittersweet in the sense that, whilst things may not be okay in the present moment, it kinda feels good hear your feelings conveyed in a musical manner. This album is recommended to people who love the work of bands such as Xasthur, Make a Change... Kill Yourself & Lifelover.
