Invictus Invictus cassette
INVICTUS’ self-titled cassette has two sides, one an older recording and the other newer. While I liked them both, I preferred the second, newer one. For the first side, I loved the kind of strange melodic guitar layered on the classically distorted rhythm guitar in tracks like “O Medo Me Protege,” and I liked that all the tracks were short and straight to the point. I did find myself kind of wanting something more. Maybe the drums weren’t intense enough for me to match the rest of the vibes, though it could be a stylistic thing—it didn’t feel quite finished to me. However, as soon as the first track “A Blessing in Disguise” came on for the second side, it instantly felt much more powerful and complete already. The second side was a bit more rock-y and garage punk, ending with a bang with the track “Dissimulated.”
