Founded in Berlin in 2015, the international quartet LARES released 2 albums, Mask of Discomfort in 2017 and Towards Nothingness in 2020. The idea of the name Lares originates from an archaic Roman Etruscan word which means heroes and demons. A faceless god, an entity that could be molded into any desired shape, believed to observe, protect and influence fate.
Since the beginning, the band explored different music genres, creating a unique sound in continuous evolution that mixes elements of Doom, Black and Sludge metal, strongly influenced by the 60s and 70s psychedelia and 90s grunge/noise.
Et in Arcadia Ego is a one-song ritual of 27 minutes of otherworldly Blackened Sludge.
