Comdemned to Suffer was recorded in Croydon UK and mixed by London-based Tide Music Studios. This is our 3rd album, the most personal so far, as no guest musicians participated during recording and lyrics are more mature and complex, mostly reflecting different struggles that we’ve overcomed in the past 5 years as a band. In the melodic death metal genre, we like to add black metal elements to the mix as well to make the music sound a bit darker and intense. We’ve been influenced mostly by death metal pioneers from 90’s but there are also modern elements in our music. We were influenced by the bands like The Carcass, At the Gates and Dissection, so our music can be described as ‘similar’ to these bands with a pinch of modern elements on top. We put great emphasis on this album and worked really hard to make it sound profound and we believe this is the most mature album that we’ve released so far.

In the vein of AT THE GATES, DISSECTION & CARCASS

[6 Panels Digipak] Shortly following the successful re-editions of FORGOTTEN WOODS’ cult albums “As The Wolves gather” and “The Curse of Mankind”, it’s now time to offer the same treatment to the most controversial and innovative project of the Norwegian combo, JOYLESS.

“Wisdom & Arrogance” is the second output of the project, but also the first to show JOYLESS in a comprehensive form, an evolution of the first wild signs that characterized the band’s debut, with songs swifting towards more contaminated negative rock territories.
The album has been indeed an influence on the scene and was released by the young Kvarforth (Shining) via his personal label Selbstmord Services.

EXHIBITION OF CONQUEST is an abrupt departure from the undeviating approach of titan hammer; a sojourn into the psyche and Genesis of the band’s original historical concepts, yet realized as a contemporary manifestation. It has been a time for reflection, and time for pause, to energize and gather weapons, planning the next strike.
This true form of Black art is dangerous and intoxicating, a fist in the face of God.
EXHIBITION OF CONQUEST provides a path of escape, to those lost within the current insufferable and nauseating state of extreme music.
This new chapter of the American band is not merely a furtherance of their usual brutal approach . This version has been sharpend to form a Rising Storm of frostbitten icy landscapes, that satiate the seeker of truth.
Once again, all artwork has been created by Francesco Gemelli (Darkspace, Spite Extreme Wing, Forgotten Woods, Abigor…).

(metalitalia.com) "A differenza di altri misteriosi figuri che oggi popolano le tenebre dell’underground black/death, Lalartu continua a conciliare la suddetta immagine incappucciata con un suono che, per quanto complesso, stratificato e ultraterreno, si guarda bene dallo scadere in forme onanistiche di eccentricità e sperimentazione (basti pensare alla recente prova degli Ævangelist). Musica che si è nutrita abbondantemente delle peggiori nefandezze del catalogo Iron Bonehead e Norma Evangelium Diaboli da un lato e di certi titani degli anni Novanta dall’altro, per un risultato complessivo che, sul filo di una gestualità rituale e contraddittoria, sembra volerci traghettare oltre il nostro spazio-tempo.
Così com’era stato per l’esordio “Kadingir”, anche “ITIMA” si configura quindi come un viaggio, un’opera da assimilare nelle giuste condizioni per riuscire a carpirne il linguaggio espressivo e non smarrirsi nel suo reticolo di pieni/vuoti sensoriali, con i primi dati da esplosioni di blasfemia non troppo distanti da quelle di Wrathprayer, Teitanblood o Beyond e i secondi a manifestarsi grazie a parentesi ambient dal sapore etnico e siderale. Un flusso di coscienza (trattasi di un’unica suite della durata di poco superiore ai quarantacinque minuti) che ci mostra il Nostro camminare sull’orlo dell’Abisso per poi descriverne con dovizia di particolari il tuffo in quel maelstrom ribollente e terrificante, con i riff, le ritmiche e le voci a farsi via via sempre più deformi e votati al culto di antiche divinità che creano e distruggono la vita.

Inspired by the frost-bitten regions of Québec, the title of Cantique Lépreux’s second full-length directly translates to “polar landscapes,” exploring a recurring theme of the icy wilderness which makes up the majority of the band’s homeland.

Musically, Paysages polaires continues the nostalgic path laid out with the frosty, archaic tunes from the band’s debut album as the record carves itself into another 45-minutes of darkness, misery and gloom. Cold black metal for the ages, Paysages polaires’ stirring anthems – with a sharper and more direct songwriting approach – lead the way throughout the sophomore album’s seven hypothermic tracks.

Based on fast and atmospheric black metal, Paysages polaires balances between beautiful and harsh dirges in combination with the conceptual middle trifold of songs based around the North American winter. The passionate Québécois carry a secret fire of stellar splendor as Cantique Lépreux reveals a wild black metal monument set in ice and stone. "
