review by Gianrichy
"Richy" Giamboi ___ 
LOTM
is a band from Chicago formed in 2003. Their debut is an originally self
released EP with now two additional songs. Their sound is a mix of
grind, doom and death metal, and in their band info they are paragoned
to legends as Slayer, Venom or Celtic Frost… well, this is perhaps a
little to much…
The
bass and guitars creates on "Carnage" a really deep and low
tuned sound carpet, in a very few parts, I had this fabulous desolation
feeling, that only few bands, among of them the legendary WINTER were
able to focus. But in the main parts, LOTM are more groovy and rather
faster.
The
production is not very clear, but hold rather in the traditional "grindy"
way, so that the low tuned guitars make it sometimes a little difficult
to catch every single note. But in its whole, I can say that this debut
is well done. Most of the riffs are
interesting, and, if in the future the band will be able to
eliminate some a little bit annoying parts while concentrating on the
more catchy and groovy hooklines, that they are surely able to compose,
we can hope to hear more of them in the future.
