Axioma by Lacrau
“Axioma” is a concept album that combines Depressive, Black and Doom Metal elements to tell a story inspired by the legendary Scandinavian senicide ritual. It is told that the practice consisted in elderly people throwing themselves, or being thrown, from precipices after becoming unable to take care of themselves or perform everyday tasks. The lyrics, written in Portuguese, describe the ritual from different angles, while the musical soundscape seamlessly represents the ebb and flow of the narrated events.
Featuring members from CARMA and EVERTO SIGNUM.
