Swiss groove metal outfit Lotrify has been making waves since their formation in 2008. Known for their ability to seamlessly blend clean and guttural vocals with intricate guitar work and crushing rhythms, the band has developed a sound that’s unmistakably their own. Combining the energy of groove metal with touches of various subgenres, Lotrify's music is as dynamic as it is engaging.

Their latest album, Time Fracture, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios in Germany (Thron, Requiem, Asmodina), was initially planned as a short EP. However, the pandemic forced the band into a prolonged writing period, resulting in nine powerful tracks that go far beyond what they initially envisioned. Songs like Left Behind bring ferocious energy with death growls and rapid tempos, while Dreams of Mine offers a melodic depth with emotional grit. The album’s title track takes a thrashy twist, a nod to the band’s history sharing stages with the likes of Exodus and Testament.

Time Fracture captures Lotrify’s raw energy and live spirit, honed over years of relentless touring. From their self-promoted “Bonebreaker Ball” tour in Switzerland to gracing the stages of Wacken Open Air and Meh-Suff, the band has built a reputation for explosive performances. With the addition of guitarist Juan Jeanpierre, Lotrify is now preparing their next chapter, aiming to deliver even more heavy-hitting music.

The band has already begun working on their next album. Based on this release, can you guess what might be coming next?
