Chasms
“The funeral doom band Lycus make slow and heavy music with bleak lyrics, but the feel of it is surprisingly warm, cathartic, and uplifting. Their new album adds a second guitar and a cellist, and the four songs here have a very big feel.”
Tempest
“On their debut album Tempest, the Oakland death doom quartet Lycus sand down the rough edges of their 2011 demo and embrace a unique take on European funeral doom. The quartet refrain from histrionic, death-worshipping self-hatred and instead embrace a more cosmic, organic take on sorrow.”
Tempest
“With subtle influences from black and death metal, Lycus has pulled together a heavy and incredibly melodic doom metal album that will probably get you whipping out your air guitar at least a few times during its 40-minute run-time.”
