Lares Sign to Argonauta Records; Towards Nothingness out Spring 2020

Bit of genre-hopping going on with the first Lares album from 2017, and yes, I’ll confess that the news they’ve been picked up by Argonauta for the impending follow-up — Towards Nothingness; due Spring 2020 — is the first I’m hearing of them. The debut, Mask of Discomfort, has sludge tones down pat but pulls the vocals back off the mic a bit in its early going and right away builds a more complicated atmosphere. From there, it only continues to push outward and much to the band’s credit it never really becomes full-on post-metal or full-on any one thing over the other. I’m sure Argonauta Records — which is doing a fair amount of branching out as well these days — will have preorders up in no time flat, but until then, here’s the news that got me to check out the first record, and the stream of that album in case you’d also like to dig in.

LARES Inks Worldwide Deal With Argonauta Records!

Brand new album coming in the Spring of 2020!

Berlin- based, psych blackened doom metal unit, LARES, have inked a worldwide deal with Argonauta Records, who will release the band’s sophomore album in the Spring of 2020. The four-piece collective, formed in 2015, combines the elements of post-metal, psych doom, ambient prog-rock and black metal, while adding a unique flavour to their heavily crushing sound. After LARES’ critically acclaimed, 2017- debut, followed by an extensive live schedule, the band has been hard at work on their second album titled Towards Nothingness. Once again recorded by Jan Oberg ( Earth Ship/Grin ) at the Hidden Planet Studio in Berlin and mastered by Audiosiege in Portland, OR, LARES are thrilled to have found the perfect release home in rising powerhouse label Argonauta.

“We have been working diligently in the shadows to find the right vessel for launching Towards Nothingness with a proper release.“ The band states. “Now, we are pleased to announce that this goal will be achieved by a collaboration with our fierce new ally, Argonauta Records! We could not be more satisfied with this combining of forces, and we eagerly look forward to the release of Towards Nothingness in the spring of 2020! This is a major step for us, but it is only the beginning. It is our duty to expand your consciousness, and we will take the world by storm without warning. Join us!“
