Surprised Emptiness aren't one of the top similar artists. They're the only other band I can think of combining extreme metal with post-punk elements. There are post-harcore elements as well, especially in some of the riffs, but post-hardcore and extreme metal have definitely been combined before.

Indeed, they are following the path fairly similar to which Emptiness were on. That being said, the Belgians shifted focus in their songwriting from black/death metal to post-punk on "Not for Music" which was a very welcome change. I just love how austere and anti-climactic they became. I believe, Laster have yet to reach maturity and fully develop their sound. Shall we expect an album in the vein of "Bitterzoet"? Speaking about similar projects, late Furia releases show very pronounced post-punk influence, so does their bassist's solo effort Duszę Wypuścił (even more so after changing the name to Wędrowcy~Tułacze~Zbiegi).

Here's another good BM album with PP elements from the guys behind Crucifixion Bell and Øksehovud: https://favnesbane.bandcamp.com/album/reipherder

With this band I am all too glad to be of Dutch heritage when it comes down to their lyrics. Absolutely wondrous.

Also, I have no idea why people purposely upvote photos with only one bandmember.

Such an insignificant reason for an incredible album to lose points...Laster is brilliant, and continue to prove it by pushing the envelope each time they present us with new material. The new album further solidifies them as a standout atmospheric band of our modern time.

you're right, laster is an envelope pushing group, which is why it's even more frustrating that they resort to such a stupid and dated nu-metal gimmick

I see what you're saying. The samples don't bother me, but if they were absent, I'd not miss them either.

De Verste Verte is Hier is one of THE albums of 2014 for me, looking forward to the new material that is already being recorded... :-)

Didn't catch my attention even for a second, it just started, was playing, ended. The sound is nice, though average. This is the end of advantages to my mind.
