November 09, 2015 – Lacrimosa is the debut album by Toronto-based heavy metal band Miron. The band draws its name from guitarist and songwriter Miron, and consists of musical superstars Phil Naro (vocals and song writing), Stan Miczek (bass), and Chris Lysiak (drums).
The CD opens to the tune of Mozart’s “Lacrimosa”, before blooming into a hard-hitting, intense, nearly hour-long journey of heavy metal madness. Miron clearly draws influences from the wide corpus of hard rock and heavy metal music across decades, with powerful riffs reminiscent of early metal acts.
I was given this CD a few weeks back and I really wanted to listen to each song to fully experience all that it had to offer. I must say that the CD is, overall, an exceedingly strong debut, with masterful performances from all involved. I expect to continue hearing great things from Miron in the future, as they continue to grow as a band. I am also hoping that they will tour in support of this CD as I would imagine it would be a spectacular show!
