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,
Dust) Incepând cu luna septembrie 2006, un nou
membru se alatura trupei Dorin Costea, un tanar
si talentat baterist ce a mai cantat in trupe ca
Asgard, Kendo, Colt 44, Brainstrip si Deadeye
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
concerte in 2005-08 impreuna cu trupe ca Ancient
Ceremony (Ger), Vokodlok, Avatar, Deviant,
Interitus Dei, Grimegod, Avskild, Taine, The
Claymore (Ger), Possession (Aut), Thunderstorm,
Trooper, Gothic, Psycho Symphony, Hathor, Sepsys
(Md), Holy Blood (Ukr), Cartwheel (Bg), MG42,

ENGLISH The band L.O.S.T. formed in March 2004,
after one of the rehearsals of the band Abigail
where three from the members were activating

time, BB Hanneman, also former colleague with the
other members, joins the band. From that time,
the line-up was -         BB Hanneman - guitars,

awards, radio and tv appearances and 2 albums

on the underground scene, with excellent live
shows and with a growing mass of devoted
fans. With the occasion of the debut show in
Bucharest on November 5th, 2004 (along with
Enthrallment - Bulgaria and Avatar Romania) it
was also released the first promo cd, of a great
sound quality and artwork. The promo material is
entitled Ziua ce vine and consists in 2 tracks
(Ziua ce vine and Last Breath), recorded at
Recreate Studio from Bucharest between
October-November 2004. The band recorded a total

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.
12.02.2005 www.metalfan.ro concert Bucuresti,
Club A 09.02 (Ancient Ceremony) bucurestenii
L.O.S.T., una dintre cele mai interesante trupe
aparute in underground-ul romanesc in ultima
perioada.
19.02.2005 www.promusicprod.ro concert
Bucuresti, Club A 09.02 (Ancient Ceremony) Este
pentru prima data când îi vad la lucru pe
L.O.S.T. si pot spune ca am fost placut
impresionat.
20.02.2005 www.metalfan.ro concert Bucuresti,
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 .
30.03.2005 Review at www.metal-archives.com
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.
21.05.2005 www.khaeotica.com live report,
Bucharest, Super Metal Live 4 (Avskild, Taine,
Interitus Dei, The Claymore - Ger) L.O.S.T.
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
Vine, Last Breath and No More, Bebe Co. got the
crowd going from the very start. The high point
of their performance was Rise a tribute to
Chuck Schuldiner. Performance 8,5 Khæotix.
Atmosphere Public A very good band and the
public loves them for the simple reason they know
how to start a concert!

27.05.2005 www.metalfan.ro concert Bucuresti,
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
vazut de vreo 4-5 ori pana acum). De fapt, cred
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,
Vlad, Dragos si George si-au alcatuit playlist-ul
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

L.O.S.T. au fost din nou printre preferatii
publicului iar recitalul acestora a fost unul mai
lung decat se preconizase. Mai lung si banuiesc
ca mai bun, avand in vedere agitatia din fata
scenei si de pe scena. Chiar ma intreb ce au
simtit B.B. si restul cand au vazut ca lumea le
stie textele pieselor si reactioneaza atat de
misto. La bis s-a cantat chiar piesa care da
numele ultimului EP al trupei, Last Breath, iar
cele cateva sute de metalheads au avut parte si
de Closure, o bucata in premiera, care a sunat
neasteptat de bine si a fost parca mai catchy
decat alte piese ale celor de la L.O.S.T. La cat
mai multe!

01.12.2005 www.powerplayrecords.net "Last
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

27.11.2005 www.metal-archives.com "Last Breath
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
Milburn. Score 3.5/5
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

12.02.2006 www.live4metal.com "Last Breath
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

Breath review Car ce nest pas un simple
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.

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,
specially in the guitars that sound really loud.
A band that you should listen and dont miss.
19.04.2006 http//xtreemmusic.org "Last Breath
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.

L.O.S.T. - Ii stim cu totii. Lasand deoparte

bucuresteni, pentru ca totul s-a spus deja. De
fapt, e ceva de spus. Noua piesa! Suna foarte
foarte bine, un pic diferita fata de piesele

ca o mare contributie a avut-o si noul tobar. In
rest, piesele vechi, piese ce vor aparea pe
albumul L.O.S.T.(sunt curios cand va fi lansat).

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..
