This is the hugely enjoyable new album from Washington based rock band Lacero. This album has all the fundamentals I like about albums of this genre that strikes that chord with me for its rich diversity, fun energy and passion. A lot of care and attention has gone into the creation of the album, and it baffles me as to why artists like Lacero are not huge. The band’s music has all the hallmarks that fans of pure rock music will fully enjoy. The band are Sean Lafferty - vocals, Craig Cabana - guitar, Jason Eaks - bass and drummer Josh Carter.
'Entiat' is awesome, the sound is huge and the band come over like a mix of King's X, Metallica and Alice In Chains. Sean Lafferty has a killer captivating voice and bass player Jason Eaks really pounds his way on this track. 'IX' is a little rawer in style and reminds me of AIC. 'Solace' is a gorgeous instrumental that could almost be progressive rock/metal. I love the texture and build of this song, it has a warming ambient feel and the guitar work is excellent, reminds me in some ways of Metallica's 'One' in the guitar department only. 'Somber' is moody and melodic with wonderful vocals, the song really drives and lulls you in, again this comes over like AIC with a melodic slant a'la Alter Bridge. 'Tomorrows Today' is a towering track, again Sean really pushes himself and if there is one song the band should aim for European radio then this is it, it's dark, moody and beautifully constructed, stunning song, musically and lyrically, live this must smoke, during some parts of the song, Sean reminds of Ozzy Osbourne.
There is so much to enjoy from this album and the songs flow with ease and you can tell that the band had fun recording this album, there is a lot of depth flowing here. I'm really excited about these guys, musically it's all here, there is something for everyone to enjoy throughout the record, we couldn't ask for more really, well we could, and we may get it if you go out buy the album and support the band. Watch out for Lacero, one to look out for in the future and a band who perform with feeling and style, and that’s a rare thing.

Bio
Since 2005 LACERO has been developing an idea that would invoke their true nature and allow them sovereignty to find solace in their art. Often described as "mesmerizing"and "beautiful" while some would suggest "raw" and "dramatic"
The group pulls together many different views and experiences that create a pure, unadulterated sonic landscape. With melodic overtones and a driving foundation, the music is meant to bare all.
April 2011 LACERO record "The MIYORA E.P." at Stew Studios WA.
Over 300 of those CDs would be given away for free in the months to come, generating a small but powerful local interest and curiosity...
October 21st, 2011 LACERO released their music video for “Somber” (Directed by Casey Sjogren) on NORML Rocks Live. Two days later the group performed at the OCCUPY Portland rally in Portland, OR.
January 14th 2012, LACERO met it’s future record label, CAVIGOLD RECORDS
March 14th 2012 the band entered Robert Lang Studios WA. to record their self-titled full length album.
