New EP, “Erebus”, out on March 4th!
La Menäce, the neocrust band created in 2022 by four musicians with extensive experience in Khmer, El Ego, Lee Cantinas, Dixpersión, Cantona, The Great Destroyer X, Deymos, and Sunfaia.
The new EP is co-released by the band’s own label, 7 Lamentos Records, together with Hombre Montaña and Violence In The Veins, and these new songs are inspired by Franklin’s lost expedition, using the disappearance of the ships Terror and Erebus in 1845 “as a metaphor to explore the feelings of loneliness, desperation, and survival present in human beings”, explains the Madrid-based band.
Recorded during 2023 at the Producciones Desastrosas studio and self-produced by the band with the technical help of Señor Lobo, La Menäce go back to the crust of bands like Ictus, Ekkaia or Tragedy, to also add some melodic death metal from At The Gates, post hardcore very Touché Amoré, Comeback Kid speed, the blackened crust of Svdestada, also black’n’roll of Kvelertak, and even more modern influences like Svalbard.
The result is surprising, powerful, and addictive, and has been topped off again by a great artwork by Mario C. Vaises. Epic bearded zapatilla, as La Menäce says!
