LYCOSIA 'S/T' -Advanced Promo Copy-
(Official Website)

LYCOSIA (from France) is one of these bands playing metal with industrial, new wave pop and slight glam influences. Their sound being close to the nu-metal one, their music can undoubtedly have a wide appeal because of its various influences. This album following their previous release"Unisex" is their third one and displays stronger industrial as well as melodic parts. Songs like "cold summer", "trade in your hate" and "velveteen kiss" are really good and catchy enough to make you want to listen to them again after the first listening. The band also has a more tribal side, being inluenced by Asia more especially ("Altaï", "Scythia".) It won't be a big surprise if I say that my favorite songs on here are the glam/dark rock influenced ones but this album is really worth checking out and should be the one asserting the band's identity.
