Carma by Carma
“Carma” is a journey through the atmospheric soundscape of melancholy, nostalgia and ephemerality of life. The music is inspired by Funeral Doom, Black Metal and Dark Ambient. The lyrics, written in Portuguese, explore such themes as death, loss and mourning.
“Lamento” is based on three movements from the “Peer Gynt” suites originally written by Edvard Grieg in 1876.
Featuring members from EVERTO SIGNUM and LACRAU.
