Death goes heav y metal
By Micheal MacLennan
LAPSUS LINGUAE Fri 22, 8pm, Nice 'n' Sleazy, 421 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow
There's little else around that resembles the music of Lapsus Linguae, but it's that individuality - the way they fuse together so many disparate styles - that makes their live performances so bewildering and compelling. Intricate piano lines provide pathos before an unholy cacophony rips things apart in unpredictable fashion; treble-heavy guitar riffs and screeching vocals slash at your soul like death gone heavy metal, while twisting and turning drum patterns turn your brain inside out. Such originality may come at a price in terms of productivity - their last release was in 2002 - but it ensures the new material they're working on should be highly anticipated by next year's rumoured release.
