 Icon clearly changed the game, constructing a sound with nervous riffing, odd times, shifted accents, and extremely heavy, inspired riffs.

 The production enhances the claustrophobia of the music, dry, lo-fi, and I personally adore how these cymbals sound.

Lento's second album Icon marks a clear evolution from their debut, embracing heavier riffs and a streamlined songwriting approach. Despite losing a guitarist, the band enhances their sound with tight, groove-driven compositions that avoid excessive complexity. The production, led by guitarist Lorenzo, intensifies the album's claustrophobic atmosphere. After a surprising rejection from their original label, they found success with the German label Denovali, gaining deserved recognition in Europe. Dive into Lento's Icon for a fresh, powerful post-metal experience built on groove and heavy riffs!

 Their sound has become much more personal, the arrangements have become even more refined and elegant.

 These are frighteningly skilled musicians, but they never throw it in your face by boring with virtuosic detours.
