However, there was a certain curiosity about next release of Lewis Fautzi. Despite his own personal style, releasing a new atmospheric and experimental album, was not the obvious option. ‘
Manner of Death’ was produced during one of the worst moments of his life, after a heavy accident where he broke both legs.
The feelings he put into the album are not relatable for most of us but after listening to “Manner of Death”, they definitely are understandable.
