Official press release:
Atmospheric metal band Laster has signed with Prophecy Productions (Alcest, DOOL). The Netherlandic group, which formed in 2012 and refers to its ferocious sound as “obscure dance music,” is currently hard at work on its third full-length release and follow up to last year’s Ons vrije fatum (Dunkelheit Produktionen), a record hailed as “creative and intelligent— an original, well-executed piece of work that is unashamedly bizarre” (Angry Metal Guy) and picked as “album of the month” by Terrorizer magazine. Laster’s Prophecy debut is expected in 2018.
When asked for a statement the band comments:
“Prophecy has been part of our musical development since we were in our early teens. Inviting each other to this dance feels like a proper and weirdly magical gesture. At the moment we are in the middle of the writing process. The record will be an expansion of Ons vrije fatum. A bit more technical. A lot more nocturnal. City vibes. Some more dissonance. Experimental.”
