Another band from the old country (Sweden), and on the same label as Mental Destruction. You may even hear a little bit of the same sounds, then again, maybe not!
This band, using a female lead vocal on about 70% of this album, tends to be a little more melodic. The male vocals have the distortion thing going for them. Lots of dark themes running throughout the album. We are compared to insects, and told to rejoice in that God made us. We need to do what comes naturally to us, and that would be to serve our God. If anyone has read any of my previous reviews they will know this is right down my alley! (Why else would one call themselves "LaRvAe").
This album would not be one to give to a person that is constantly depressed, but it can be very uplifting to someone who understands and relates to the book of Ecclesiastes: Everything is meaningless, your life included, so what we need to do is what is important, which would be to get a grip and never let go!
What a great ending! Go ahead, enjoy your life, it's all meaningless, but never let go once you get a hold of the Master's hand! You may have a hard time finding this one, but once you do, you'll understand.

There are slow, spooky ambient pieces, but also louder guitar driven songs. Similar at times to the Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus and at others to Ministry or Circle of Dust. The female vocals have a haunting air to them. Song lyrics are very spiritual and searching. A dialogue, somewhat, between good and evil,…Similar sounding releases
