Lament Cityscape – Running Out of Decay (Official Video)
|
Channeling the unearthly terror and dismally charged eeriness, heavy industrial artillery known as Lament Cityscape has been wreaking havoc since 2013. Although their sound can be categorized best with the heavy industrial umbrella, the Oakland based unit transposes the identifiers of murky sludge, post-metal, dark post-punk, avant-noise and dark ambient as well. Currently set as a four-piece, the ever-evolving experimental group was originally started off as a sludge outfit by Mike McClatchey and later had been served as a duo for the majority of the journey.
Having one LP, The Torn, a massive collaborative album, Soft Tissue, with New York blackened synth-death group THEOLOGIAN, and a slew of mini releases in their armory, the larva rock quartet has set 2020 to release a set of 3 EPs. A single concept crosses into all three EPs, each EP representing a stage in transforming oneself into something new.
The first EP of this series, The New Wet, arrived on January 31st. On this three-track EP, Lament Cityscape’s focus laid on churning out more catastrophic textures and decaying cinematic atmosphere. Unlike the debut LP, which dwells primarily in the hypnotic sludge arena, the impending EP mostly embraces the apocalyptic ambiance and discordant industrial energy.
