I already created the topic but yours is better so I'll delete mine.

I'm so happy, I thought this album will never came out... but some people spoke about "doom" for this record so I'm a little bit affraid...

from what i've been told by people who have heard it, it's very doom/sludge oriented. not a whole ton of black metal.

Yes that's what I heard too... but Herbst is a very great musician so it could be great

I think that we need wait with patience... I don't know if this upcoming album will be into the post black metal sound.. but I love the band

Doom/sludge ?
If find this very interesting now.
Maybe a new new genre ? Again ? x)

In fact, it's not really surprising since Herbst always like to innovate his sound...
In less than two months we'll know if it that was worth waiting !

if this new album will have doom/sludge inlfluenced I think that Lantlos will be post metal.. like Isis, Arktika,cult of luna, khoma,etc...

It will be very interesting to hear this.
I have no doubts in my mind that this album is going to be great considering that Herbst is a great musician.

Tracklist of Agape :

1. Intrauterin
2. Bliss
3. Bloody Lips And Paper Skin
4. You Feel Like Memories
5. Eribo - I Collect The Stars

Further details & pre-ordering

"Agape" – a non-physical, self-sacrificing kind of love – is the basic concept of Lantlôs' third album. While its predecessor ".neon" posited a nearly violently negative reckoning with the trinity of reality – perception – self, and lyrically and musically revelled in surreal, cold visions, Lantlôs harness these visions into new channels on "Agape."



The oppressive element of a dark flight from reality has given way to a new poetic dimension: warm and yearning lyrics are contrasted with brutal visions that trace the thin line between love and perversion. This contrast is perfectly captured in music on "Agape": heavy walls of guitars alternate with gentle acoustic parts, the changes in tempo hover between dragging and pacing. In addition, "Agape" will surprise you with extensive instrumental passages with a soft and warm atmosphere which doesn't shrink back even from jazz. Counteracted by the harsh, strangely cold vocals courtesy of Neige (Alcest), the compositions seem devoid of sense, oppressing, and sombre: beauty reversed into its opposite. This contradiction which is so aptly expressed in the lyrics and the music is complemented by the elaborate design. "Agape" makes a visual impression with Herbst's own paintings that unite idiosyncratic thought bytes with nightmarish visions.



On the one hand, "Agape" is a radical departure from Post Black Metal, while on the other, it is also its consistent further development. An open contradiction in a lyrical, musical, and visual dimension, this work creates a vicious circle and at the same time neutralises itself. What remains is emptiness of a new quality.

I ordered the box

Did your box arrive yet?
I can't wait to see the pictures and to hear what do you think about the album.

The box will be shipped at the end of the month (see the release date )

I love the new song *_*

Plus, reviews are very optimistics, saying that this record is breathtaking !

Considering that doom metal has been my favorite genre since ages, I have to say that I'm expecting a lot from this record, even knowing that there won't be more these nights were ours or pulse/surreal.
