Lethe - Mnemosyne

Lethe with the bizarre album title "Mnemosyne" have done a great job on this CD.Dylan Desmond and Joe Proffitt from Samothrace play on this album and while both bands are mining a similar ground,they are different in one important way.While Samothrace play a kind of bluesy type of Doom,Lethe are in a more Psychedelic direction.The album contains 5 instrumentals with a focus on melody and a slighty progressive edge.The first 3 tracks stand out as favorites with their epic feel.These songs are real tight and you can hear they have some real techincal ability.The final 2 tracks are not as strong to me as the riffs don't quite have the impact that the first 3 songs have.I am looking forward to see what else this band has to offer.I hope they are not a one off side project because this shows a lot of potential.8/10
