Boston, Massachusetts post-metal trio Lesotho consists of guitarist Kyle Loffredo, bassist Cliff Cazeau, and drummer Dan DeLucia. They are gearing up to drop their third full-length album, "A Flashing On Plain Glass", following their 2023 release "Through The Dying Light". They tracked and mixed the new material at The Bridge Sound & Stage Music with Alex Allinson and handled mastering duties with Carl Saff at Saff Mastering. Thibault Landemaine handled the artwork.

Lesotho operates entirely on massive riffs and crushing rhythm sections. The five songs on "A Flashing On Plain Glass" deliver shifting movements of skull-crushing music. The sounds shift constantly, moving from emotional guitar melodies to gigantic walls of distortion. Loffredo rips towering guitar lines that crash into the thunderous, pounding drumming of DeLucia. Cazeau locks down the low end with a thick bass tone. The thirty-minute runtime presents a continuous wave of heavy volume.

You get a straight dose of heavy Boston metal. The guitars build up slowly and erupt into total sonic destruction. They plug straight into heavy fuzz pedals and massive amps to make a huge racket. The drumming is aggressive and punishing. Songs smash through the speakers with raw, untamed energy. The music paints a picture of a world falling apart and constantly changing.

The music drifts too long in certain sections. A few riffs drag out without much progression. The band loops the slower passages repeatedly before getting to the heavy climax. The thirty-minute runtime keeps these looping sections relatively short. "A Flashing On Plain Glass" delivers enough heavy moments to satisfy a metalhead looking for loud amps and maximum distortion.

Score: 7.8
