Capela Mortuária - Ossadas

Review by Paul Democritou

Capela Mortuária's album Ossadas is a hauntingly beautiful record that explores the darker aspects of the human experience. From the opening track, "A Morte é um Sopro," the listener is transported into a world of sorrow and melancholy.

The music is a blend of traditional Portuguese funeral music and modern experimental sounds, with elements of doom, drone, and ambient music. The instrumentation is sparse but effective, with the use of acoustic guitar, piano, and atmospheric synthesizers.

The vocals are delivered in a mournful, almost whispered tone, adding to the overall sense of sadness and loss. The lyrics are in Portuguese, but the emotions conveyed are universal, touching on themes of death, grief, and the human condition.

Standout tracks include "Ossos" and "Amanhã Será Tarde Demais," which showcase the band's ability to create a sense of atmosphere and mood with minimal instrumentation.

Summary by Paul Democritou

Ossadas is a powerful and moving album that will appeal to fans of experimental music and those looking for a more introspective and somber listening experience. Capela Mortuária has created a work of art that deserves to be heard and appreciated.
