LACRIMOSA — Inferno (review)

4.5/5 ·
Warthur
Lacrimosa's fourth album is the first to feature Anne Nurmi, who would essentially co-lead the band with him for much of the rest of its existence. Little of the sound of the band's first two albums remains at this point; the gothic darkwave influences are still present, but through the metal of an interesting gothic metal approach which takes as much influence from symphonic metal as it does from doom metal. Nurmi's vocal contributions are valuable but the real game-changer here is her adept use of keyboards, crucial to achieving the classical textures that the album's new sound is built on. Dragging the band up to whole new levels of quality, Inferno cements in place a glorious new vision of what Lacrimosa is.
