Lascar - Depths (Demo Review)

Tracklist:
1. Depths        
2. Burial Caves                       
3. Ocean Echoes

This is the second demo from the interdependent one man Chilean post black metal project helmed by Gabriel Hugo.

This release is as much of a depressive black metal record, as it is a post black metal one. Everything about it from the distant tortured screaming vocals, to the slow and repetitive riffs give off a very DSBM vibe. That of course is by no means a bad thing, this is a very powerful release that really gets under the listeners skin with its heartfelt and genuine felling of grim isolation, depression and its strong connection to the natural world.

Musically this release is also very strong, with very good drum and riff work being provided throughout by Hugo.

Overall this a great demo that makes me very excited to hear a full length from the Lascar project.
