In the self-titled album Leucosis, the drums are mixed perfectly with the vocals and guitar, giving the tune into firm ground, attributing to its blackish character. Distinctive by a melancholic gloomily style, their atmosphere is dark, heavy and oppressive.
In the song Anaesthesia, the sound swells smoothly from a tangled ordinance, into a grinding rush, supported by vocals, similar to black metal vocalists, heavy like lead. Until it falls back, nearly drying up, solely to come back with another heavy guitar riff. By loosing its force again towards the end of the song, it connects smoothly to the next tune.
The Song Taiga starts with a classic guitar riff full of despair. Collecting itself to be fulfilled by its vocalist. He connects all the strings of the song, and gets displaced by a distorted guitar riff. Again smoothening towards the end, falling into silence. Preparing for the next song.
All in all, the self-titled album Leucosis approaches the sleep, the lack of sleeping. Its side-effects. Towards death by choice. This album is a must have for all fans of Deathheaven and Wolves in The Throneroom.
