LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST
“Rotten Light”
(-)
Do not confuse this Laetitia In Holocaust with the one from Las Vegas. This is an Italian avant-garde black metal troupe. Whenever I see something being described as avant-garde I fear that it is an excuse to cover up noise/crap as music. To me avant-garde is painting outside the lines, going against pre-conceived notions of what is right and wrong. Pretty much what black metal is supposed to be all about. Not following in anybody’s footsteps. Not obeying any rules. And it pretty much feels like that listening to Laetitia In Holocaust. No rules apply to their music. It’s like being on a long journey in outer space with no end in sight. It just goes on and on. Every once in a while it is a good feeling knowing that the end isn’t predicted. Anders Ekdahl
