Today on Riff Worship we are joined by Philadelphia-based multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, producer, and composer Richie DeVon (Lástima, Half/Cross, Suuduer).

We take an in-depth look at the making of Lástima’s debut album, A Pain Bloomed From My Lungs - a deeply personal exploration of grief and identity told through the lens of black metal, screamo, and post-hardcore.

From its beautiful string arrangements to its anguished screams, this record stands as one of the most distinctive and affecting underground releases of the year!

A Pain Bloomed From My Lungs is OUT NOW via Liminal Dread Production + Tomb Tree: https://lastimamusic.bandcamp.com/album/a-pain-bloomed-from-my-lungs
