Honoris Causa – Homo Homini Lupus Review

As soon as the play button is pressed, the listener is greeted with a mesmerizing instrumental introduction of the opening piece titled Beauty and Fortune. The melody is seamlessly followed by the enchanting operatic vocals, which instantly captivate the listener’s attention and transport the listener’s ears into a world of pure musical bliss.

As we delve into the second piece of the album, titled Humanity, the listener is greeted with a subtle yet effective incorporation of the sound of phone notifications -before breaking off with the remaining piece and the last three songs.

It is worth noting that Homo Homini Lupus has come a long way since their debut release, Reaching For Darkness. The band has evolved into a full-fledged unit and is now recording in a professional studio, which is evident in the superior quality of their latest release.
The growth of the band’s musical abilities is particularly noteworthy. In terms of sound quality, the production creates a rich and immersive soundscape that perfectly complements the tone of each piece. The composition and score of the music are also exceptional, showcasing a remarkable level of musical devilmanship that is rare in contemporary music.

Homo Homini Lupus is a fruit of art-devilmanship demonstration of the band’s exceptional musical abilities. The execution of the intricate musical score is an impressive work of art, with each note and rhythm played with devilish precision while maintaining a haunting and dreamlike atmosphere from their previous work. Still, this time, additional sound effects have been added to the walls of the music, adding a new depth.

The release represents an impressive collection of artistic compositions in the instrumentation, featuring a diverse range of tempos, tones, moods, vocals, and instrumentations.

The album “Overall” is a powerful follow-up to their debut release, Reaching For Darkness. The five songs and their lyrics convey different morals. Still, they are woven into one overarching message — Homo Homini Lupus, a Latin proverb that means “a man is a wolf to another man”.

This proverb refers to situations where a person has behaved comparably to a wolf — predatory, cruel, and generally inhuman. It suggests that a person’s true character is revealed by their actions and behaviour.

The album comes to an end with the last song, Waiting To Die. We want to give a shoutout to Honoris Causa for letting us review their Homo Homini Lupus album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
