Lagrimas (HTX)
Hello all and welcome back to another installment of our New Music Monday series. This week's barn burner comes to us from Lagrimas by way of Houston Texas, and boy is it a ripper.
Just in time for pride month the queer punx waste no one's time, punching quick, dark rhythms rife with melody. “Silly Songs with Larry” features bouncy black metal riffs, intensely shrieked vocals and inhuman drum patterns. Opening the track with what I’m fairly certain is a clip from the cult classic film “But I’m A Cheerleader”, the bubbly scene music is cut short as the song slices in with an evil yet ass shaking riff. Shredded vocal chords stream eerily through the remainder of the song with an unmoved and unhurried rage, leaving us wanting more.
Lagrimas have been ripping the Houston scene for a while and if this track is any indication, the years have done little to temper their fury. If this quick cut is any indicator of what the band has in store for us, I feel confident in saying we really can’t wait to see what the band has in store for us next.
