Lament Cityscape's new album, A Darker Discharge, is out today on Lifeforce Records. Incorporating elements of industrial-metal, sludge, noise, post-punk, and more, it is the band's 13th release in all. Comparisons can be made to Code Orange's merciless rhythms, Uniform's unhinged angst, and Jesu's melancholic grandeur.
Lament Cityscape mastermind Mike McClatchey, who relocated to rural Wyoming for the writing and recording of the album, credits that state's conservatism for the album's heightened angst and aggression.

"Unhinged industrial metal... Breathtaking, like if Justin Broadrick fully reconciled Jesu’s heartbreak with Godflesh’s deathly lurch."
–SPIN
"This is one of the most powerful and interesting albums I've heard in some time. There is a bit of Author & Punisher vibes here combined with Uniform's intensity mixed with an early 00's cinematic score. It's like if Anaal Nathrakh was an industrial band."
–Metal Injection
"Industrial, metal, and the darker side of the synthpop spectrum converge in the world of Lament Cityscape... Their new album, A Darker Discharge, is being heralded as another gem in their discography."
–No Echo
"Lament Cityscape play from the belly of a burning machine. The distant production embellishes a sense of disconnectedness between the vocals, drums, and the grinding guitars. It's not so much punishing as it is enveloping."
–Invisible Oranges
"Lament Cityscape wrings resentment out of every second with heavy industrial squeezes and gothy synthwave twists. Emulsified in pulsing kickwork from the Streetcleaner school of pounding, McClatchey wastes no time rendering a clamor confit with the intro trio of grind-length industrial pulses... These towering moments of rage stand in stark contrast to the moodier showpieces that reek of purple fog and patchouli."
–Angry Metal Guy
"[Lament Cityscape] delivers a methodically brutal beating but its bizarre swirling melodies and harrowing vocals are scary as hell."
–No Clean Singing
"Some of the band's finest work to date, as hammering rhythms, plodding mid-paced churns, and crawling dissonance set the foundation for vocals that range from distorted snarls to subdued singing, alongside sinister drones and textural synth melodies aplenty."
–Aversionline
"Industrial-metal act Lament Cityscape flourishes on stunning new album A Darker Discharge."
–Idioteq
"From metallic ragers to industrial threnodies, this is an album that proves the breadth of Lament Cityscape's talent."
