Although Lascar’s style can be defined as standard atmospheric black metal, their sound is thoroughly profound and quite effective, consolidating vivacious harmonies of antagonistic beauty, adorned by precisely passionate melodies, arranged in a horizon of patiently colorful sensibilities, that transforms the general melancholic context upon which the overall structure of the songs are inserted, in a permanent quest of hopeful sensibility and sincere contemplation.
And yet, this is probably the quality that better defines Lascar’s music: its free-flowing, almost ritualistic contemplative element, that purposefully circulates in the between the harmonies, deliberately playing with the introspective and mostly fundamental perceptions of the spirit, highlighting an harmonious monument of rhythmic liberty that reenergizes the plural peripheral nature of a style that seeks the elevating skyline of a devotional rule inspired by an absolute artistic standard, that has as its main effect the sublime ordination of a sensitive realm embodied by the mordacious melodies meticulously displayed by the creative ambitions of Lascar.
Although on the other hand Saudade appears to be a too much ordinary atmospheric black metal record, this perception is only superficial. Beyond the surface, Lascar dilapidates a new conflagration of elements whose final result is a deeply expansive and thinly impressionistic layer of somber majesty, objectified by a lucid sense of serenity and calmness, realistically and efficiently transmitted to the listener by the extemporal sound of an intense wave of pure and intermittent loneliness, created at the epicenter of a fantastic zone of permanent fantasy, where the music keeps coming to your soul, even when the record is over.
