Introduction

Today, I am introducing a different thing, or a different experience, after the nice success of our blog, and the warm welcoming we receive from European, Arabic bands, I decided to give my ears more musical fulfillment, so I am starting to set a larger network of connections with European bands, so I sent different friend-requests to a lot of bands members and asked them to send me their music for feedback, or review. 

Actually, in my point of view, this is a very good chance for me to know more bands from the European, and Arabic scenes, in addition, it may help in gaining more audience in the Middle East, as the mostly of this blog readers are Arabs! 

So, kindly, Antonio Oritiz, the vocalist and the founder of Bolivian Acoustic Doom Metal band "Lachrima Corphus Dissolvens" (LCD), sent me one of his band's tracks "Listen to the Silence". And actually, I appreciated his nice invitation to listen to his band's music. 

LCD is a beautiful Acoustic/Atmospheric Death Doom Metal band formed in 2003, in La Paz, Bolivia. The members of the band are: Antonio Ortiz, and Beyson Q.

The band released one album in 2009 "The Truth is Out There" which is one of the most successful Acoustic/Atmospheric Death Doom Metal albums in the Bolivian scene. Currently, the band is working on its 2019 release. 

Track Details 

Track Name: "Listen to the Silence"

Band:   Lachrima Corphus Dissolvens

Genre: Acoustic Doom Metal 

Year of Release: 2009

Album: "The Truth is Out There" 

Origin: Bolivia

The Review

I actually liked the track so much as it is really satisfying for a Doom Metal lover. The track starts with beautiful, and calm guitar tunes, those sounds can ring a lot of bells in your head, and give your mind fractions of black and white images, full of feelings of loneliness, and longing. 

Shortly, you will listen to a familiar Funeral Doom Metal influenced tempo, with Death Doom Metal vocals, the sounds of guitars give the music amusing sound of depression, and sadness. 

In 2:36, there is a beautiful interlude of clean guitar sounds, with clean vocals dressed in catchy broken pitch. 

This touching part is followed with attractive solo, gives your soul more sadness, and grief, then the vocals turned to be more Atmospheric/Black Metal influenced. 

The musical combination in the track is really rich, and beautiful, all I wanted is more acoustic riffs within the music.

The Metal Divas: Female Metal Voices Around the World VII

As we are celebrating our comeback I think that it will be great to check a new part from our The Metal Divas series. This part is full of power with slight changes in our format to be easier to follow!     Adrastea (Greece ) A great voice shining from the lands of Hera and Zeus, Adrastea is rocking the Greek Metal Scene with her band Entropy Devine.  We  started with Adrastea by asking her about how she started her career.  "   I have been singing since I can remember myself. I was always a rocker so I remember I would always find a way to secretly sneak into music related activities.  I was not allowed to learn music, cause, you know  I am a woman and I should do all that society expects from a woman and nothing more.)  So I figured creative ways of doing so as a part of my Rock 'N Roll rebellion while  growing up,"  she answered. Next, we asked her about how she met her band mates.   " From an ad in search
