Dutch four-man crew Lahar play crunchy doom metal in best Neurosis tradition, with ragingly “go-tell-’em”, throaty vocals combined with some speedy riffage and pounding drums. Overall a solid three-track demo, and although perhaps not such a terribly innovative piece of work, it is one which certainly shows promise and room for development. I’m curious to see where Lahar will go from here, and look forwards to hearing their debut full-length.
