Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Lotus Thief, the masters of combining metal and ethereal sounds in their latest album, "Rervmin".
From the opening track, "Horse of War", you are immediately transported to a realm where demons and angels collide in a beautiful symphony of chaos. The haunting vocals of Bri Schneider effortlessly float above the thunderous drumming and swirling guitars, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and exhilarating.
Tracks like "Oresteia" and "The Night Unfurls" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend elements of black metal, post-rock, and ambient music, creating a sound that is both epic and intimate. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal layering perfectly complementing each other to create a rich tapestry of sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sunken", a haunting ballad that showcases Schneider's vocal range and the band's ability to create a sense of longing and melancholy. The cascading guitars and ethereal synths add an extra layer of depth to an already emotionally charged song.
Overall, "Rervmin" is a masterclass in musical storytelling, taking the listener on a journey through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. Lotus Thief have truly outdone themselves with this album, solidifying their place as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the metal scene today. Pitchfork would definitely approve.

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.
