The stoner/doom metal trio from Viseu, Portugal have just launched a new album: "Odor", their third full-length release, and their characteristic deep and doom rhytims are more present than ever in this new work.
"XV" is one of the four tracks of "Odor", as the band continues to name their songs with roman letters, following the right sequence since their very first track: "I". According to them, it's a way to register the band's evolution while seeking their own identity.
Just like the previous album, it was also inspired by the lyrics of Martim Sousa, which created this poem divided in four parts (in this case four songs), whose meaning matches like a glove when sung with the thunderous voice of António Baptista.
Basalto were founded in February of 2015, and in the following year they released the first album titled after their own name: "Basalto". In 2018 came the second full-length release: "Doença", and just recently (as we have been talking now), their work has culminated so far with the new "Odor", and in the best way possible I daresay.
The line-up consists of António Baptista (guitars & vocals), Nuno Mendonça (bass) and João Lugatte (drums).
Tomorrow, we all metal heads from Madeira will have the privilege to experience live the new album "Odor" at MetalMad's Oath Circle Meeting II, as Basalto will be the second act to hit the Main Stage of this event. In the meantime, here's the video of "XV":
