Lords Of Bukkake - Desagravio
It might seem funny at first- maybe a joke- that a band could consider their name to be after a sexual practice, but Lords Of Bukkake are quite serious in their crushing, almost depressive nature of the album "Desagravio". These Spainards unleash slow, grudging music that sounds almost like depressive black metal the way the vocals are developed along with the slow, drawn out riffs that span past nine minutes on each track (ADD listeners beware). However, the band tries to avoid just sounding like dark ambient noise all the time by throwing in some rock/ sludge metal elements on tracks like 'Boca Acida', which actually sound quite catchy when they come out. But, unless one is used to hearing genres like post metal or epic sludge metal they might find the grinding noise somewhat uncomfortable. The vocals are sometimes pushed into the background and are difficult to hear, but keep up with the overall dark tone of the music.
For only four tracks and sticking to a relatively basic doom metal formula, the group doesn't leave much for listeners to work with. Tracks like 'Desagravio' stick to the same riffs for the most part and pace with the vocals interjected every once in a while, but it is probably one of the more 'generic' tracks out there. Near the end they mix things up by throwing in some singular guitar work with the ambient noise, but at this point unfortunately most listeners who don't like the music will probably have shut the album off by now. For those who are brave enough to tread the halls of sound, the closing part of this track is quite rewarding as it offers some of the better mixtures of sound that Lords have created on the album. Compared to their previous debut, the album may fare better because the tracks are overall shorter and most listeners will breeze right by rather than putting up with one short track and two extremely long ones. The tracks are still long, but not so much that listeners will feel lost in the mix.
