In a few words:
Since we are leaving summer behind, I will keep last year’s tradition and I will welcome autumn with an atmospheric album. So, similar to On Thorns I Lay case, here we have a very atmospheric and depressing/melancholic album. Memorandum is probably the last album of Lacrimas Profundere before changing their sound (starting from the following Burning: A Wish). Here we have doom/gothic metal the old way: doom-y, but also melodic riffs, are combined with piano and violin melodies. The vocals are mainly brutal, while some clean and female vocals give the necessary variety to the songs. Sometimes they remind me other favorite bands, such as old Anathema and My Dying Bride but, don't be fooled: they know how to harmonize their influences with their own ideas and enriching them with pure emotions. So, let's goodbye summer with Memorandum and welcome back autumn...
Personal highlights:
". ...And How To Drown In Your Arms", "Reminiscence" and "All Your Radiance..."
