Seattle metal outfit LACABRA – whose unique blend of blackened death metal and groove metal, release their third video for the new single “Enemy” taken from the group’s forthcoming debut album, out May 9.
Says vocalist Lance Neatherlin of the song, “’Enemy’ is basically a fuck you to cancel culture, but the concept is a Seraphim angel being cast out of heaven and being attacked by other angels for his beliefs. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and we should focus on what we have in common instead of what we disagree on.” The video was directed by Zechariah Valette (M.O.B. Studios) and edited by Andrew Notsch (Hollowdusk) and can be seen HERE: https://youtu.be/_vvFCE7JcCI
“Enemy” follows LACABRA’s two previous singles/videos – “Fractured” https://youtu.be/rpGQ7NX4tXg?si=oZy2AAkcSkVEFusc and “Human Quilt” https://youtu.be/V57g5a7LU98?si=0vzmbiXwV4nLqFuc which all feature on the band’s upcoming self-titled album.
The debut was produced by LACABRA and Gwen Kerjan (Loudblast, Anthares, Chaoseum) and mastered by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque. The cover art was created by Nestor Avalos (Bloodbath, Rotting Christ, Hecate Enthroned) with band logo by Christian Spzajdel (Emperor, Borknagar, Moonspell). Lacabra is set for release May 9, 2025, and pre-orders are now available at https://lnk.to/lacabra including the Crystal-Clear Vinyl (limited to 300 copies) and CD.
The Seattle based metal outfit LACABRA, which rose from a previous band LOCISTELLER and out of the ashes of the Covid-19 pandemic, brings together the talents of Lance Neatherlin (Lead Vocals), Eric Snyder (Guitar/Vocals), Eric Weber (Bass), Michael Anthony (Guitar), and Richie Sather (Drums). The LOCISTELLER lineup transformed into LACABRA minus founding member Didier Almounzi (Dragonforce, Destroyer 666). Neatherlin and Snyder (also key members) knew this band was something special and couldn’t be wasted, thus went on to forge a more straightforward and punishing approach with the music. All of them have been tried and tested in other bands, but it’s fair to say that in LACABRA they’ve caught lightning in a bottle.
The band’s eclectic influences range from traditional heavy metal, dark wave, black metal as well as 1990’s melodic death metal, which they interweave seamlessly throughout their songs in a unique and purely original way. Their live shows are crushingly heavy and intense with dueling lead guitars and stage presence that rival any band out there today. Their performances and unique sound have garnered them a reputation as a must-see band in the Pacific Northwest (US) and beyond, having shared the stage with bands such as GOATWHORE, CRYPTA, DESTRUCTION, SWALLOW THE SUN, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, NERVOSA, and more.
After a very successful French tour with legendary French thrashers ANTHARES last year, LACABRA is setting up another French tour with them in October. On top of that, the band will be doing mini runs around the Pacific Northwest, including a show tonight with CAVALERA, NECROT, and DEAD HEAT. Many more touring plans are in the works so stayed tuned!

2/26 – El Corazon – Seattle, Washington (w/Cavalera, Necrot, Dead Heat)
