The Contagion in Nine Steps

by Lychgate

supported by

baudelagon Moins austère que son prédécesseur (ou alors rompu à l'orthodoxie par l'usage du disque précédent) je trouve cet album bien plus accrocheur.

Had to add this to my collection after listening through their latest album. YomaBarr once again has introduced me to some phenomenal music!

YomaBarr 1. Love intelligent metal.
2. Love Lem.
3. It's Lychgate.
4. Cypecore 😁👊 🍻

holy fucking YES. i heard of this band from from the relation to the excellent Häxanu, and was not let down. "Chaos" in their name is on point: the songs can go from melodic and flowing to absolute pandemonium. my only gripe is the vocals and the drums can be a bit overwhelming compared to the magnificent guitar work. looking forward to more from these guys!
