Lament

Description

Touché Amoré has carved a path through anguish, alienation, cancer, and heartbreak across four acclaimed studio albums. After over a decade working in the dark, the band’s beautifully gnarled fifth album, "Lament," finds light at the end of the tunnel. For the follow-up to their critically heralded 2016 album, "Stage Four", Touché Amoré chose to step out of their comfort zone and work with a new producer, the esteemed and demanding Ross Robinson (Slipknot, Korn, At the Drive-In). Both Robinson and Touché Amoré are known for the intensity of their sound. Last summer, Robinson agreed to participate in a rare "test recording" of one song, which resulted in the track “Deflector,” released last fall. Ultimately, “Deflector” proved that the producer/band combination was undoubtedly the right one. "Lament" is their magnum opus. Its lengthier, structured songs soar with a ferocious yet delicate musicality and powerful, heartbreaking storytelling that shatters previous high-water marks. Yet, while the band has grown and matured through all they’ve endured, it’s perhaps equally impressive how they’ve managed to remain true to their origins.
