With “Yetzer Hara”, Lotan unleash a searing new chapter of blackened death metal – furious, unrelenting, and razor-sharp in its intent.

Forged in the fires of Denmark’s extreme metal underground, Lotan deliver a blistering fusion of blackened death metal and social defiance. Inspired by the likes of Behemoth, Hate, Mgła, and Anaal Nathrakh, the band blends nihilism and aggression with a confrontational critique of modern decay. “Yetzer Hara” is not just an album: it is a reckoning. Drawing from the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, Lotan delve into the destructive urges that define humanity’s fall from grace, invoking themes of internal conflict, moral collapse, and primal violence.

“Our sound is a weapon – forged in fury, aimed at the puppeteers who thrive on division and decay”, the band states. Across the album’s brutal compositions and incendiary lyrics, Lotan channel raw emotion into resistance – fierce, articulate, and uncompromising.

On stage, their live shows are no mere performance, but a total sensory assault: immersive, volatile, and unforgettable. Lotan aren’t just playing music – they’re igniting a movement.

“This is not escapism. This is resistance. In the name of distortion”.
