lespecial returns to Syracuse, NY on December 6th, 2024 for a performance at The Westcott Theater!
lespecial is redefining the term "power trio." The multi-instrumentalists from Connecticut continue to push the boundaries of what a three-piece band can achieve both live and in the studio, as they prepare for the release of their latest album, Odd Times. The band’s signature blend of "heavy future groove" combines headbanging metal riffs and surgical rhythmic precision with bone-shaking 808s, sub synths, and ethereal vocals, creating a dance floor atmosphere where moshing, dancing, and hip-swaying are all equally welcome. Listeners are taken on a journey to the musical netherworld through esoteric soundscapes punctuated by raw, primal power.
Odd Times, lespecial’s darkest and heaviest record to date, is an enigmatic and compelling musical project that explores the ever-changing nature of time amidst isolation. With heavy riffs, tribal drumming, and moments of levity, it's a captivating journey crafted in collaboration with David Sanchez of Havok. An intriguing blend of old-school metal and modern djent-inspired riffage awaits in this haunting sonic experience.
