Title: ROMNA:

ROMÂNA Formatia L.O.S.T a luat fiinta în martie
2004, dupa una din repetitiile formatiei Abigail
în care activau în acel moment 3 dintre membri
(Vlad, Dragos, George). Dupa scurt timp, BB
Hanneman, deasemenea fost coleg cu cei trei, se
alatura trupei. Din acel moment, componenta a
fost urmatoarea -         BB Hanneman - chitara,
voce (ex Adrenaline, Cronos, Abigail, Icon of
Sin, Magma) -         Vlad Busca - bass, voce (ex
Abigail, Tornado, Cronos) -         Dragos
Halmagi - keyb (ex Abigail) -         George
Angel Tudor - tobe, voce (ex Abigail,

membru se alatura trupei Dorin Costea, un tanar
si talentat baterist ce a mai cantat in trupe ca

Dick. Având o experienta îndelungata în scena
româneasca, de aproape 20 ani, ce a cuprins
printre altele numeroase premii la festivaluri,
aparitii radio-tv precum si 2 albume înregistrate
anterior cu Abigail si Cronos, trupa L.O.S.T. a
avut un impact rapid în underground, toate
concertele fiind foarte reusite si cu un nucleu
de fani devotati in continua crestere. Cu ocazia
concertului de debut din Club A din 5 noiembrie
2004 (împreuna cu Enthrallment - Bulgaria si
Avatar) a fost prezentat si primul cd promo, în
conditii calitative si de prezentare deosebite.
Materialul promo mentionat anterior se
intituleaza Ziua ce vine si cuprinde 2 melodii
(Ziua ce vine si Last Breath), înregistrate
în studioul Recreate Records din Bucuresti în
perioada octombrie-noiembrie 2004. Sesiunea de
înregistrari a cuprins un total de 5 piese, care
au fost editate de Meta4 Productions pe un MCD
intitulat Last Breath lansat oficial pe data de
4 martie 2005, si distribuit in toata reteaua
nationala de magazine. Trupa a mai sustinut

• 01.12.2004 music.download.com "Ziua ce vine" CD
  promo Hailing from Romania by way of Hades,
  L.O.S.T. creates a fearsome black-metal racket.
  Combining the speed and dexterity of early
  Metallica with the guttural death-yowls of the
  Norse black-metal scene, L.O.S.T. has found the
  perfect balance between speedy annihilation and
  old-school metal melodies. Death by Romanian
  thrash is imminent.

  Underworld 15.02 (Vokodlok, Elivagor) () iata
  ca m-am trezit cu onoranta misiune de a vorbi eu
  despre ce mi-au ascultat urechile neutre dar
  incarcate de nostalgii in Underworld, unde
  L.O.S.T. a fost balsamul binevenit intre doua
  reprize de vaj-metal. () Baietii canta ce le
  place si se simte, degaja de pe scena bucuria
  muzicii facute cu placere care nu poate sa nu fie
  contagioasa, sa nu antreneze publicul. As zice ca
  de la concert la concert isi fac tot mai multi
  fani, pe masura ce oamenii incep sa le recunoasca
  piesele, poate tocmai de aceea cele mai
  cunoscute, Last Breath si Ziua ce vine sunt
  si cele mai apreciate
• 19.03.2005 www.metalfan.ro concert Bucuresti,
  Club A 04.03 (Avatar, Cadaverous Condition,
  Deviant) Metalul prestat de cei de la L.O.S.T.
  este unul care isi trage seva din death metal,
  dar inteligenta celor 4 a facut ca muzica lor sa
  inglobeze si elemente din alte arii stilistice,
  astfel incat sa nu avem nici o clipa senzatia de
  liniaritate. S-a cantat cu multa pofta (este
  vital sa fie asa), energic si destul de dinamic,
  dovada stand faptul ca publicul le-a recunoscut
  toate piesele si a reactionat foarte pozitiv la
  fiecare aparitie live a trupei. Prestatia din
  Club A nu a facut exceptie. Asteptam cu nerabdare
  albumul full-length .

  Promising. 64 Written by Corimngul on March
  30th, 2005. Its easy to see why L.O.S.T. got
  signed. They are simply one of the best
  melo-death acts of lately, if just a little
  generic. Ive only reached the mp3s of this
  single but I wait, theyve got the potential to
  get big.
• 01.04.2005 www.hardrock.ro lansare album "Last
  Breath L.O.S.T. este o trupa noua cu "nume
  vechi", componentii ei activand de peste 10 ani
  pe scena metal underground romaneasca, dar voi
  evita sa reiau numele trupelor in care au activat
  cei patru, pentru a evita confuziile de genul
  L.O.S.T, fostii X. Si asta pentru ca trupa
  L.O.S.T, adica Vlad Busca (bass/vocal), BB
  Hanneman (guitar/vocal), Dragos Halmagi (keys) si
  George Angel Tudor(tobe), are deja, dupa numai
  cateva luni de activitate, o individualitate, a
  sustinut deja destule concerte si, fapt mai rar
  pe piata noastra, a lansat deja un produs de
  debut oficial, mini-CD-ul Last Breath, editat de
  Meta4 Productions. Albumul contine 5 piese
  old-school doom-death, sunetul este satisfacator
  si lay-out-ul este excelent.

• 01.04.2005 www.hardrock.ro "Last Breath album
  release L.O.S.T. is a new band with an "old
  name", the band members being since already 10
  years in the underground Romanian metal, but we
  will not mention the old bands where they
  activated, in order to avoid confusions like
  ex.... And this is because L.O.S.T., I mean Vlad
  Busca (bass/vocal), BB Hannerman (guitar/vocal),
  Dragos Halmagi (keys) and George Angel Tudor
  (drums) already has, only after a few months of
  activity, an individuality, enough live shows and
  already an official product, a mini-CD, called
  "Last Breath", under Meta4Productions. The
  product contain 5 old-school doom-death songs,
  sound is satisfactory and the lay-out is
  excellent
• 17.04.2005 www.metalfan.ro recenzie "Last
  Breath" MCD Ce ar fi de spus despre Last
  Breath, mini CD-ul recent lansat? Faptul ca este
  un produs ingrijit spune multe despre trupa.
  Booklet-ul este simplu si sobru si se potriveste
  de minune cu muzica, fiind o prelungire fireasca
  a acesteia. In momentul in care am apasat play
  parca s-a deschis cutia Pandorei. M-au napadit
  toate nostalgiile si m-am trezit teleportat in
  urma cu un deceniu, in momentul in care foarte
  multe trupe cantau melanjul de death metal si
  doom pe care si L.O.S.T. ni-l propune pe Last
  Breath. Este pe de o parte un act de curaj dar si
  o dovada clara ca lui B.B. si colegilor sai chiar
  le place ce canta si o fac cat se poate de
  serios. Am sa evit sa intru in detalii tehnice
  neinteresante sau sa pic in capcana de a compara
  L.O.S.T. cu nu stiu ce trupa occidentala. Ei
  merita incurajati si sustinuti permanent pentru
  ca merita mai mult.
• 23.04.2005 www.khaeotica.com live report,
  Bucharest, Underworld (Grimegod, Bolthard) The
  last band of the night was L.O.S.T., which is a
  well known combo for the Underworld public
  judging by their members () and also by their
  large amount of live appearances. What everyone
  expected to be a side project proved to be a band
  of its own. BBs voice, doubled at some points by
  Vlads growling, is already a trade mark for
  L.O.S.T., while Dragos keyboard work give a
  specific note to the sound. The gig was based on
  the songs from the first official product of the
  band, the Last Breath MCD which was launched just
  a while ago. Dreams In Black, Ziua Ce Vine,
  Clipa, Nowehere To Run, Last Breath were
  presented on stage and the top moment was when
  the lied Becoming A Lie was announced. The
  playlist included some very new songs, a good
  sign proving that the band is on a creative level
  right now. Even if it was quite late the public
  stayed until the end and that proves very well
  that the band is quite appreciated there,
  L.O.S.T. rewarding them with a bis for Becoming A
  Lie. Performance 9 Khæotix
• 23.04.2005 www.hardrock.ro concert Bucuresti,
  Underworld (Grimegod, Bolthard) Au urcat apoi
  pe scena L.O.S.T., new-comeri, daca pot spune
  astfel unei trupe ai carei componenti au peste 12
  ani de muzica la activ. Nu am sa le fac aici
  istoria, in primul rand pentru ca multi dintre
  voi o stiti si pentru ca L.O.S.T. si-a creat deja
  o identitate aparte in scena romaneasca. De
  remarcat prestatia lor excelenta, fara balbe si
  cu o coeziune extraordinara intre instrumente.
  Piese bune, cu substanta, cu un touch de
  Crematory un pic prea accentuat totusi. (Ma refer
  la vechiul Crematory, cel din perioada
  Transmigration si Just Dreaming, pentru a se
  evita confuziile). Dupa atatia ani de cantat,
  baietii se dedica total pe scena. Din recitalul
  lor am remarcat piesa Rise, un tribute adus celui
  care a fost Chuck Schuldiner. Chitara mi-a adus
  aminte foarte pregnant de Death, dar poate
  pasajele de clapa ar fi fost de preferat sa fi
  fost mai estompate. Si L.O.S.T. au creat agitatie
  in randul spectatorilor, muzica lor fiind foarte
  bine primita.

• 23.04.2005 Heavy Metal Magazine 101 Wow! Asta
  da album! In procent de 100 este cel mai bun
  disc romanesc pe care l-am ascultat de cand a
  inceput anul 2005! L.O.S.T. este profi! Suna
  intr-un fel, piesele sint compuse si aranjate
  intr-un fel. Trupa asta are un mare potential si,
  cu riscul de a parea rautacios (eh, de parca n-as
  fi...), chiar nu-mi pare rau ca the bad boys s-au
  tirat din Abigail, mai ales ca sint aruncate in
  lupta si ceva reminiscente ale trecutului
  atmospheric/doom/gothic. Suflarea Scandinaviei
  este prezenta in toate cele cinci piese ale
  materialului, fapt care pe mine nu poate decat sa
  ma bucure. Last Breath este sinonimul unui death
  metal de calitate, in care vocile guturale si
  partile brutale nu sint folosite gratuit sau in
  mod abuziv. Mi-e clar ca nimic n-a fost lasat la
  intamplare tematica pieseior suna unitar si
  compozitiile sint foarte bine legate. E drept ca
  nici unul dintre membri nu e incepator, caci
  experienta acumulata a fost foarte bine pusa in
  aplicare. Primele doua piese, Ziua ce vine si
  Clipa, sunt cele pe care le gust cel mai mult.
  Cum sangele apa nu se face, intro-urile lor
  readuc in lumina atomosfera Anathema/Paradise
  Lost/My Dying Bride, insa nu sunt decat prologul
  unei combinatii bine gindite de death si mici
  doze de death melodic. Urmeaza piesa de tillu si
  Dreams In Black, alte doua compozilii foarte
  bune, executate cat se poate de corect in tempo
  mediu. Ultima pe lista este No More..., un
  strigat de protest, daca e sa ma iau dupa text,
  cu inceput si sfarsit gloomy, dar cu miezul tare
  ca o stanca. Chiar imi place Last Breath! Cu
  usoare accente thrashy si atmosfera predominant
  death metal, primul disc L.O.S.T. este o reusita.
  Ideal ar fi ca acesta sa fie numai inceputul, iar
  potentlalul care zace" in aceasta trupa sa fie
  folosit la maximum si in viitor. Acum sunt numai
  cinci piese. S-a mers probabil pe principiul
  putin si bun", insa astept un full length care
  sa confirme ca L.O.S.T. si-a inscris definitiv
  numele printre cele mai bune trupe de death din
  Romania. Noni Hutterer 9.

  had the honour of getting everything started. The
  bands experience had its say once again, the
  guys easily surpassing the strain of playing two
  nights in a row (after playing at the very break
  of dawn at the Motor Rock concert planed by
  SILVER PISTONS the bikers from Ploiesti). With
  a setlist that included Becoming A Lie, Ziua Ce

  crowd going from the very start. The high point
  of their performance was Rise a tribute to

  Preoteasa 21.05 Super Metal Live 4 (Avskild,
  Taine, Interitus Dei, The Claymore - Ger) Dupa
  o intarziere de aproximativ 40 de minute,
  datorata necesitatii unui soundcheck prelungit,
  bucurestenilor de la L.O.S.T. le-a revenit
  sarcina de a deschide ostilitatile. Sarcina de
  care s-au achitat foarte bine, recitalul lor
  fiind in opinia mea cel mai reusit concert pe
  care baietii l-au sustinut de la recenta lor
  infiintare (astea in conditiile in care i-am

  ca tocmai dorinta lor de a canta peste tot, sau
  cel putin acolo unde au fost invitati, i-a facut
  sa devina in scurt timp o buna trupa live. Fara
  indoiala ca si experienta lor anterioara isi
  spune cuvantul, cert este ca L.O.S.T. au sunat
  excelent, fapt lesne de constatat si din reactia
  pozitiva a publicului. Cum era de asteptat, BB,

  in special din compozitii incluse pe ultima lor
  realizare discografica, mini-albumul Last Breath.
  Desi nu as putea spune ca genul abordat de ei, un
  death metal melodic cu influente doom este unul
  din preferatele mele, am ramas placut impresionat
  de acest concert. Presupun ca si de acum inainte
  ne putem astepta la ce e mai bun de la

  intreb daca L.O.S.T. vor continua pe aceeasi
  linie stilistica sau au de gand sa aduca unele
  modificari. Ramane sa vedem

  Breath review With their latest album the band
  wants to give us their opinion of the death
  metal. "Last Breath" is the title of their album
  and it was released last May through Meta4
  Productions. So in these five tracks the band
  gives us their project for the death metal but
  with the addition of the keyboards we have
  another atmosphere through the madness of death
  metal. For sure their compositions are well
  worked with interesting ideas and you can see
  that these guys want to give the best to the
  listeners. Score 7.2/10. Antonis Maglaras

  review When I first heard this EP I was
  strongly and positively surprised. The second
  song, Clipa really opened my eyes for what this
  band reminded me of. When listening to the
  single, it never struck me that L.O.S.T. must
  have been listening a lot to early Therion. Much
  of their material sound like Lepaca Kliffoth and
  like what Symphony Masses wouldve sounded like
  without its symphonic parts and some of the
  stranger pieces.Now, this does express itself
  through rather slow, minimalistic, heavy song
  backbones. The guitars sting into it all every
  now and then. We have melody, carefully laden by
  the keyboardist. There are breakdowns, the way
  the compositions circle. There are undertones
  from Therion all around it. The riffs and bass
  lines, the way they keep them hanging, have a
  Therion feel too. It wouldnt be fair to call
  this a total Therion-rip-off though, as L.O.S.T.
  have a very different guitar tone. It is stinging
  and pretty constant. Also L.O.S.T. never leaves
  the slow-tempo land, which theyve mastered well
  enough. Unfortunately, I dont think itll work
  for an entire album without more variation. ()
  Sounding a bit like Therion wins my vote, and
  sounding this much like Therion while retaining
  some originality gets more of it, I suppose. I
  like this, but I think the repertoire must be
  broadened some speed must be let in if they
  should go for a full-length in the future. 75

  review Right from the start its clear that the
  band has put some real effort in the recordings
  of the MCD. The intro of the first song Ziua ce
  Vine (which is also on the two-track promo, as
  well as Last Breath) is very impressive and
  would do very well live, I suppose. The guitar
  parts are quite slow but this could only be
  considered as an advantage. In this way, the
  chords are very powerful and the perfect timing
  of the guitar player gives the music this extra
  powerful dimension. The influence of the
  keyboards is not to be underestimated. The empty
  spaces that exist due to the guitar parts are
  well filled with mystical keyboards.() So,
  L.O.S.T. did a fine job with a great production
  of their Last Breath. I do think that, for a
  big 12-song release, the band has to come up with
  more variation and maybe little softer vocals.
  But due to the fact that the instruments seem to
  fit very well to each other, I would consider
  L.O.S.T. as a band to keep an eye on.
• 23.12.2005 www.twierdza.de.vu "Last Breath
  review This MCD, entitled Last Breath, seems
  to be the band's first release. It presents us
  five songs, from which two are presented in the
  Romanian mother-tongue of the guys. The music
  could be described as conglomerate of black and
  death metal. With a slight touch of gothic and
  atmosphere. The best song of this MCD in my
  opinion is the Romanian-language title Clipa.
  It's about both rough energy and great
  atmosphere. Also I like the usage of Romanian
  vocals here, what makes the band more original in
  comparison to most of the metal bands, singing
  (too) often in English. Clipa is the most black
  metal orientated title of Last Breath. Other
  great songs are Ziua Ce Vine and Dreams In
  Black. () All in all Last Breath is a really
  recommendable release, which shows a sure feeling
  for good melodies, hit quality and atmosphere,
  and which is, by the usage of Romanian vocals in
  two of the songs, also somehow original.

  review Goth doom inspired debut breathes plenty
  of life.
• The slow, meandering beat of the Ziua ce vine
  (which also featured on the promo EP) is
  eventually joined by the menacing down tuned
  guitars and haunting keyboards that are
  L.O.S.T.s signature gothic doom sound. Clipa
  continues the eerie, deathly vibe with a slightly
  quicker pace, and like the opening track, it is
  also sung/growled in the bands native tongue.
  The title tracks soft acoustic intro soon makes
  way for a plooding, grinding riff that builds and
  drops with every phrase as it takes you through
  wave after wave of emotive highs and lows, easily
  marking itself as the strongest track on offer.
  The early Therion and My Dying Bride qualities
  continue with the decidedly quicker but no less
  interesting Dreams In Black and the doom laden
  closing track, No More. L.O.S.T. has crafted an
  interesting and enjoyable debut EP in Last
  Breath. It would be wise for fans of material
  that mixes early My Dying Bride and Therion laced
  with smatterings of black and thrash metal to
  invest their time into checking out this one! If
  this EP is any indication, I for one will
  definitely be keen to check out their debut long
  player whenever that surfaces! Reviewer Simon

• 13.01.2006 www.metalact.com concert review,
  Viking Club L.O.S.T. was the second band
  playing that night, the conjuncture headliner, as
  both bands have similar value and we cant talk
  about headliner and opening-act within the two.
  What I was speaking with Vlad during that
  interview turned out to be very realistic once
  again this new band with old members is one of
  the most beloved in Bucharest at the moment,
  their success competing with the success bands
  with 10 years of live performances have or with
  the success they had back in time, with their
  former bands (Abigail and Cronos mainly).
  L.O.S.T. walked the stage with a visible appetite
  for the show it was very clear they havent been
  playing for a while and they missed it. As Marius
  from Hathor, BB Hanneman, the front man of
  L.O.S.T. was in a kidding mood Welcome to our
  first showtogether as I have playing with the
  Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and at Hamburger
  Sport Verein! Looks like the training in the two
  locations- ha-ha- was helpful to BB, as they have
  played no more, no less than 72 minutes!!!! As I
  have also seen and reviewed L.O.S.T. a lot of
  times, I have not much to add about their show.
  They sang 16 songs (4 encores)- the already known
  Ziua ce vine, Last Breath, Clipa, Rise,
  Nowhere to Run (about this one I have recently
  found out it was composed for Abigail), Becoming
  A Lie, but also two brand-new yet untitled songs
  which sound more fresh and more 2000-like
  than the others.
• Still, my personal favorites are Ziua ce vine
  and Rise, although the latter I imagine with
  less keyboard parts and I seem to enjoy better
  what I hear in my mind. A very successful concert
  after all, although my opinion is once again
  inauspicious speaking of sound and Vlad told me
  they heard themselves very weak on the stage.
  Thats all! Bands 9/10 Sound 7/10 Lights 8/10

  review Normally when I get something to review,
  the first time I listen to it I can identify the
  genre, and the second time I can come up with a
  couple of bands that are similar. LOST had me
  completely thrown until Id listened to it about
  ten times the only thing that I was certain of
  was that it was good. Very good, in fact.
  Eventually it came to me that there was something
  about it, which reminded me of something that I
  knew, in a vague, insubstantial way. Nothing
  daunted, I carried on listening (meanwhile the
  band had anxiously contacted Live4Metal in case
  wed forgotten them) until at long last my
  synapses began to function and I realised what
  Id been thinking of all along. Theres something
  about the music, particularly the structure that
  reminds me of early Tiamat (Clouds, for example).
  
• Last Breath is twenty minutes of beautifully
  wrought tripped-out heaven. The first couple of
  tracks are sung in what Im assuming is Romanian
  (being as thats where the band hail from).
  Whatever language it is, it sounds appropriately
  menacing and sombre. At least two, possibly three
  band members are involved in the vocals on these
  tracks, but instead of going down the
  well-trodden path of one distorted vocal, one
  clean vocal, L.O.S.T. go for harmonised (if you
  can call it that) distorted vocals. It comes off
  brilliantly!
• I think that Clipa is probably my favourite
  track, although I couldnt even speculate as to
  what its about. It has that wonderful rhythmic
  quality where the lyrics are almost chanted,
  which puts me (inevitably) in mind of some of my
  favourite Rotting Christ tracks, but with
  completely different keyboards, more towards the
  prog end of the scale.
• Another trick that these guys have got down to a
  fine art is introducing pauses after which the
  music comes tumbling back into inevitability.
  Think Metal Heart (Accept). I wouldnt describe
  them as predictable at all, but once theyve
  started off down a route, they are obviously
  going to pursue it to the bitter, bludgeoned end.
  And yet they are capable of some very fine and
  delicate guitar work as well.
• Overall, I have to say that this is a very
  impressive release, with a hypnotic quality that
  will ensure it sticks in my (admittedly addled)
  brain for quite some time. A great start to the
  year!

• 11.02.2006 www.nocturnalhorde.com "Last Breath
  review Heavy death/doom metal permeated with a
  thick coat of melancholy is what this rather new
  Romanian band delivers. The band was formed in
  2004 and this is their first release, if we don't
  count their 2 track promo-release. "Last Breath"
  consists of 5 atmospheric tracks, which fit the
  Danish winter perfectly.
• The atmospheres are bleak, drenched over the
  music as dark thick clouds. The down-tuned
  guitars leads the battle, with its well-weighed
  riffs and good melodies, the guitar work is
  pretty good and well-written and carries the
  songs a long way. The drumming is simple, but
  fits the music well, shifts pace when it's needed
  and the cymbal work is nice and varied. The bass
  pummels below the guitar, always audible and
  quite interesting to follow and plays a big part
  in the overall sound of L.O.S.T. The music is
  also spiced up with some delicate synth work here
  and there, and that works fine in this sinister
  environment the band creates. The growls that
  accompany the music aren't of the best quality,
  slowly pronounced, which is good as it is easy to
  understand, besides the 2 tracks where the lyrics
  are in Romanian that is. Though the slow and
  almost narrating growls, sounds forced once in
  awhile and doesn't seem to fit in, the more spins
  the CD gets, the better the vocals fits. The
  growl pursued in the first 'Ziua Ce Vine' works
  very well and sounds good, opposed to the vocals
  in the last track 'No More', which really tests
  the listener.
• Overall a good debut mini-album the band here has
  made, we are offered good and melancholic
  death/doom with a nice and bleak atmosphere
  surrounding it. Good song writing and effective
  and well executed tracks, this is for sure a band
  to watch on the future, they could very well end
  up delivering an album or 2, which will end up
  with a classical status. Rating 7/10

  disque de death metal mélodique que vous avez
  entre les mains mais bel et bien un joyau taillé
  a coup de riff dévastateur. Cest simple il a
  tourné en boucle toute la journée.
• Il faut dire que dès le premier morceau le groupe
  place la barre très haut avec un intro très
  atmosphérique préparant idéalement le terrain
  pour ce qui va suivre. Du death metal bien
  puissant et mélodique a souhait. Sans être ultra
  rapide le groupe impose son tempo, marque
  distinctive qui savéra plus que payante sur la
  durée. En effet on sort de lécoute enchanté par
  la musique très bien structurée de L.O.S.T. . Il
  ny a aucune fioriture que se soit dans le jeu ou
  dans les orientations musicales. Car même lintro
  à la guitare acoustique de Last Breath est
  magnifique. Et pourtant le pari nest pas gagné
  davance cest toujours un risque dintroduire
  des parties acoustiques dans une musique extrême.
  Les changements de tempos dun morceau à lautre
  sont notable mais ils tendent plus à prouver que
  le groupe sait varier les plaisirs. Le titre
  Dreams in black très mélodique et le plus raide
  de tous tranche avec Ziua ce vine qui est
  plus lent et plus lourd. Non un sans fautes
• Le chant est lui aussi parfaitement exécuté et il
  nen ressort que du bon. Même en chant clair
  cest impeccable, enfin il faut reconnaître que
  ce nest pas du chant aigue. Cest un chant qui
  reste assez appuyé.
• La grande qualité du groupe et ça je suis sur que
  je ne vais pas être le seul à le remarquer cest
  que le groupe sest forgé une identité musicale
  qui le rend unique. Que se soit le son ou la
  manière de composer cest unique.

  lon ai des nouvelles très rapidement vous pouvez
  vous ruer sur cet EP qui est ENORME !!!!! Une

  review THis is a crushing band that comes from
  Romania.Their music can be described as modern
  death metal with some thrashcore elements and
  excellent keyboards that are an essential
  instrument here. The guitars sound really huge
  delivering riff after riff on each composition,
  driving the pace of each of the tunes. The
  drumming is precise and there are multiple
  arrangements created by using double bass with
  clockwork precission. The keyboards add a lot of
  atmosphere to each tune and also some melody here
  and there making each composition really
  original. Some of the climatic parts reminded me
  a little bit to Tiamat but taken to the extreme.
  The sound of the recording is direct and loud,

  review L.O.S.T. is a new band from Romania that
  plays a very atmospheric kind of Death Metal,
  slow and heavy, slightly melodic, but never
  becoming a Doom/Death band as we usually
  understand it. Last Breath can remind me of
  albums like Symphony Masses by THERION, but
  without the orchestral parts, more simple and
  slower. Other groups like early CREMATORY
  (Transmigration) or even ACHERON (Those Who
  Have Risen) also come to my mind when listening
  to this. Lyrics are written in English but also
  in Romanian. The production and the presentation
  are quite professional, and even if their music
  is rather simple, they seem to be skilled and
  experienced musicians. This MCD is their first
  release, but it seems they are not newcomers,
  being all of them ex-members of a Doom/Death band
  called ABIGAIL which released some demos and
  singles during the nineties. Quite recommendable
  for those who like Death Metal with keyboards and
  no fast parts but still dark and heavy. RATING

  review Only formed in 2004 and now in 2006 they
  release their debut MCD with 5 track. L.O.S.T.
  comes from Romania and plays melodic mid paced
  death metal. With a touch of doom and gohic.
  Think of the old My Dying bride of even Therion.
  Keyboards are heard frequently through out the
  songs but not on an anoying level and carry the
  melody. Growling vocals (that could use more
  variation in intonation) over short powerful
  riffing guitars. The songs are melodic with
  groove and keeps you listened. With this EP they
  show some good potentional but when they make a
  bit more variation between the songs the next
  release will be much better.

  It was time for the Romanian deathsters LOST to
  appear on stage. Even though three years have
  only passed since their birth date and having
  recorded only 1 Promo-CD together with 1 Mini-
  CD, they are generally known to the Greek fans of
  the genre that reacted with great enthusiasm.
  Unfortunately, the bands sound wasnt very good,
  but that didnt bother us to enjoy their heavy
  sharp riffs and nice choruses that are cleverly
  mixed with beautiful keyboards. In the end, they
  dedicated a song to Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P).

  Metalheart Festival, Botosani Au urmat apoi
  L.O.S.T., care nici nu mai au nevoie de
  prezentare. Cred ca pot afirma fara probleme ca
  s-au ridicat la nivelul headlinerilor, iar piesa
  dedicata lui Chuck Schuldiner (Rise) a avut mare
  priza la publicul deja incins! Atmosfera
  electrizanta din timpul baietilor de la L.O.S.T.
  (care au strans un public atat de numeros ca
  puteau la fel de bine sa fie si ei cap de afis)
  si a headlinerilor a compensat pentru publicul
  mai putin numeros din timpul zilei.

  Transilvania Festival, Sibiu Tot putin a cantat
  si L.O.S.T. si tot din aceleasi motive cei patru
  au inceput cu bine-cunoscuta Becoming a Lie si
  ne-au amintit car de bun este death-ul melodic
  practicat de ei si cu care au atras atentia de la
  inceput. Si ei au venit cu un preambul al
  viitorului album, efectul asupra celor inca
  putini spectatori fiind clar pozitiv.

  Transilvania Festival, Sibiu A urmat in mod
  firesc L.O.S.T., trupa legata afectiv de Abigail
  prin nu mai putin de 3 componenti - Vlad, BB si
  Dragos trecand cu totii pentru perioade mai lungi
  sau mai scurte prin trupa lui Razvan. Recitalul a
  debutat cu un intro si una dintre glumele
  favorite ale lui BB "Asta a fost tot". Nu a
  fost tot, dar nici pana la final nu a mers, si
  L.O.S.T. fiind obligati sa renunte la doua piese
  incluse in playlist. O multime de glume din
  partea lui BB, prezentarea tricoului oficial,
  manechin de serviciu fiind tobarul Dorin,
  Becoming A Lie, Why, Closure, Victims, O viata.
  Astept - si sper ca nu o viata - sa apara albumul
  Remains of Pain, pentru ca piesele noi par a fi,
  compozitional vorbind, mult peste ceea ce am
  putut asculta pe Last Breath. Sau Last Breast,
  cum era, Dorine? P

  release show, Bucharest Pe L.O.S.T. nu i-am mai
  vazut live de foarte multa vreme si se pare ca si
  uitasem cat de bine pot sa sune live. Ne-au
  incantat cu acelasi death metal melodic, presarat
  cu glume pentru cunoscatori (intre piese).
  Playlist-ul a fost cumva "clasic", presarat cu
  piese mai noi si mai vechi, cantate asa cum le
  poate canta o trupa formata din membri cu cel
  putin 10 ani fiecare in lumina reflectoarelor.
  Asteptam un album de la L.O.S.T. si sincer ar
  trebui sa-i vedeti pe 6 decembrie in Live Metal
  Club alaturi de Rising Shadow, daca aveti chef de
  o pletoseala buna.
• 06.12.2008 www.metalfan.ro live review (w/
  Rising Shadow) Cand spui L.O.S.T. te gandesti
  automat la un sunet profi nu stiu daca se
  datoreste sau nu a ceea ce zicea Hanneman (ca
  sunt trupa care in aceasta seara a avut cele mai
  putine chitare si cele mai multe clape),
  important este ca atunci cand ii vezi urcandu-se
  pe scena stii ca vei avea parte de un concert
  bun. (...) Altfel nu am ce le reprosa, concert ca
  la carte marca L.O.S.T....
• 07.02.2009 www.metalhead.ro live review (w/
  Sepultura) Dupa o pauza de coada de bere si o
  tigara in zona de nefumatori de pe hol, au urcat
  pe scena L.O.S.T. alaturi de un invitat cu totul
  si cu totul special, R de la Abigail. Razvan a
  carmuit a doua chitara a trupei, iar rezultatul a
  fost simtitor un sound mai plin, mai inchegat
  care a lasat chiar loc de ceva experimente
  reusite pe piesele mai vechi ale trupei. Cred ca
  L.O.S.T. ar trebui sa ramana in doua chitari
  avand in vedere stilul destul de permisiv pe care
  il abordeaza. Playlistul bucurestenilor a fost
  cumva clasic si bucurandu-se de un sunet bun au
  dat tot ce-au avut mai bun. Mi-au placut foarte
  mult piesele cantate cu R, piese ce au avut un
  plus clar de ambianta si melodie.
• 07.02.2009 www.metalfan.ro live review (w/
  Sepultura) Pe cei de la L.O.S.T. i-am vazut cu
  placere in multe randuri, asa ca m-am bucurat
  sa-i regasesc in deschidere la Sepultura.
  Surpriza a venit din prezenta unui invitat
  special Razvan R Alexandru (Abigail) la a doua
  chitara nu stiu daca acest fapt s-a rezumat la o
  invitatie pentru concertul de fata sau daca va fi
  o mutare permanenta, deci ramane ca membrii
  L.O.S.T. sa ne lamureasca. Nu au lipsit
  piesele-pilon din orice concert al bucurestenilor
  Becoming A Lie, O viata, Ziua ce vine, mai
  noile Victims, Closure, Remains of Pain, plus
  promisiunea unui album cu titlul celei din urma
  in viitorul apropiat. Prestatia L.O.S.T. din
  seara asta a fost foarte buna cu exceptia
  faptului ca Vlad Busca (bas) nu s-a auzit mai
  deloc la backing vocals, dar altfel concertul
  sustinut a fost foarte bun, dublat de sonorizarea
  decenta. Sunetul a fost mai plin, mai inchegat
  datorita celei de-a doua chitare, dar se pare ca
  rolul acesteia s-a rezumat la atat, la a umple
  golurile, fara a contribui la armonia pieselor.
• 07.02.2009 www.carteadenisp.ro live review (w/
  Sepultura) Au urmat L.O.S.T., care si-au
  promovat si ei piesele de pe viitorul album,
  Remains of Pain, pe care-l vor lansa tot în vara.
  Sunetul a fost OK, auzindu-se bine si clapa, ceea
  ce a largit serios spectrul de armonii, facînd
  întregul sa para bine închegat. Mi-au placut
  Remains of Pain (piesa ce da titlul albumului),
  Rise (piesa dedicata lui Chuck Schuldiner de la
  DEATH) si Closure. Se vede treaba ca BB Hanneman,
  chitara si voce, a fost în mare forma, însa
  publicul, inexplicabil as putea spune, n-a
  reactionat chiar dupa cum ar fi meritat cei de la
  L.O.S.T.
• 07.02.2009 www.rockxpress.ro live review (w/
  Sepultura) Au urmat ....cum era firesc L.O.S.T.
  plus special guest star Razvan de la Abigail. Un
  recital care avea sa ma loveasca frontal. Trebuie
  sa recunosc ca bucurestenii si-au inbunatatit
  constant stilul, surplusul de la chitara dat de
  Razvan, fiind binevenit. Un show inchegat cu un
  sound a la Scar Symmetry pentru cunoscatori.
  Astept cu nerabdare noul album.

• 30.03.2009 www.metalhead.ro live review (w/ In
  Flames) L.O.S.T. ne-au (in)cantat cu noua
  componenta care ii include pe Klepsy (My Shadow,
  Tiarra) si pe R (Abigail) oferind un setlist
  scurtat datorita intarzierilor. S-au axat doar pe
  hit-uri (daca le putem spune asa) si au avut un
  sunet destul de bun, "eroare" cauzata probabil
  datorita clapei si prezentei a doua chitari,
  combinatie destul de buna atunci cand nu esti var
  cu sunetistul, combinatie care egaliza destul de
  frumos sunetul pe fata. Revin cu laude pentru cum
  suna trupa in doua chitari si aduc ceva laude noi
  la adresa lui Klepsy care a "dat in ele" de le-au
  sarit la propriu capacele (la tobe!).
• 30.03.2009 www.metalfan.ro live review (w/ In
  Flames) Acestia, probabil constienti de
  intervalul foarte de scurt de timp pe care il au
  la dispozitie au comprimat playlist-ul pregatit
  si au cantat cele mai cunoscute piese ale lor,
  bucurandu-se din plin de sprijinul publicului
  L.O.S.T. s-au prezentat intr-o formula intregita,
  cu Razvan (Abigail) la chitara si Klepsy (My
  Shadow, Tiarra) la baterie.
• 30.03.2009 www.rockxpress.ro live review (w/ In
  Flames) Dupa o scurta pauza si tot in criza de
  timp au fost bucurestenii de la L.O.S.T. Sunet
  imbunatatit, prestatie pe masura progresiv-death
  de o buna calitate (peste media din Romania) si
  cu Razvan de la Abigail la a doua chitara.
  Reactia publicului a venit, firesc, in acelasi
  ton aplauze indelungi, maini in aer, 2000 de
  oameni incantati de recital. Am mai scris de
  baieti si in cronica de la concertul Sepultura, o
  trupa care chiar merita luata in considerare.
  Recital restrans, dar la obiect, cu toate piesele
  consacrate reorchestrate pentru o chitara in
  plus...
• 30.03.2009 www.metalact.com live review (w/ In
  Flames) L.O.S.T au fugit repede printre
  piese, vorbind putin si incercand sa cante cat
  mai mult. 5 piese au fost din cat am numarat eu,
  Closure si Ziua ce vine fiind cele care mi-au
  atras atentia cel mai mult. O componenta
  interesanta, cu Razvan de la Abigail la chitara a
  doua. De vazut neaparat, de preferinta in cadrul
  unor concerte mai lungi. Am avut impresia ca
  sunetul a mai fost reglat pe timpul recitalului
  lor, fiindca vocea s-a auzit mult mai ok decat la
  Snapjaw. Public din nou foarte cald..
