Our Take
Our Take
In the realm of progressive metal, there are few bands that can match the sheer ambitiousness of Lotus Thief. And their latest offering, "Oresteia (Hardcover Book Edition)", is no exception.
This album is a sonic journey unlike any other, mixing elements of black metal, post-rock, and electronic music to create a sound that is as epic as it is experimental. From the haunting vocals to the thunderous drums, every track on this record is a masterclass in musical storytelling.
But what truly sets "Oresteia" apart is its unique packaging. Housed in a stunning hardcover book, complete with beautiful artwork and insightful liner notes, this album is a true collector's item. It's almost enough to make you want to dust off your record player and embrace the tangible beauty of physical music once again.
But don't let the packaging fool you - the music contained within is just as impressive. Tracks like "Agamemnon" and "Electra" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy riffs with ethereal melodies, creating a sound that is at once brutal and beautiful.
Overall, "Oresteia (Hardcover Book Edition)" is a triumph for Lotus Thief. It's a bold and daring record that pushes the boundaries of what progressive metal can be. So grab a copy, pour yourself a glass of wine, and prepare to be whisked away on a musical odyssey like no other.

About the artist
Lotus Thief
Lotus Thief defy easy categorisation. A fusion of black metal, post-rock, and neoclassical elements, this San Francisco band creates a hauntingly beautiful sound that transports listeners to otherworldly realms. Their music is a sonic tapestry, weaving together intricate guitar work, ethereal synths, and powerful vocals to create a truly unique listening experience. Fronted by the enigmatic frontwoman Becca Artsi, Lotus Thief have been making waves in the underground music scene since their inception in 2012. Their debut album, "Rervm," was a critical success, with Pitchfork praising its "otherworldly atmosphere" and "epic scope." Since then, they have continued to push the boundaries of their genre, incorporating elements of electronic music and avant-garde experimentation into their music. Lotus Thief's latest album, "Oresteia," is a tour de force of emotion and intensity. Inspired by the ancient Greek tragedy of the same name, the album explores themes of revenge, redemption, and the cyclical nature of violence. From the shimmering beauty of tracks like "Agamemnon" to the raw power of songs like "Furies," "Oresteia" is a journey through the darkest depths of the human soul. In a music industry often dominated by formulaic pop hits, Lotus Thief stand out as a beacon of creativity and originality. With their genre-defying sound and thought-provoking lyrics, they have carved out a niche all their own. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or a casual music fan, Lotus Thief is a band that demands your attention. You may not always know what to expect from them, but one thing is for certain: you won't be disappointed.
