The Lazz
The Lazz is a melodic metal project founded by composer and guitarist Ben Lazzaro. With over 40 years of experience at the fretboard and a 13-year background as a Digital Artist in the video game industry, Lazzaro bridges the gap between traditional musicianship and 2026 technical innovation.
Holding an A.S. in Visual Communication (Honors), Lazzaro directs every frame of the project's visual narrative. The Lazz explores the friction of the human psyche through Jungian themes like the Shadow and the Persona, set against a cinematic, "Fractured Obsidian" aesthetic, symbolizing the fractured human mind.

The Descent is out NOW!
https://youtu.be/QcaDs6-cIJs?si=3GorT...
“The Descent” is about going beneath the surface — past the mask, past the fear, and into the hidden self we usually try to avoid.
This one continues the darker transformation arc of The Lazz, where falling into the deepest cold becomes the only way to become whole.
Thank you for listening, watching, and being part of this journey. Drop a comment and let me know what this song brings up for you. 🤘

Hey guys and gals. I wanted to take a poll for my next set of 4 songs for act IV, on what you all are diggin' the most regarding vocals/style/Persona. I try and pick what I think sounds good for each specific song. They don't all have the same energy or composition, so one only probably won't work for all of my songs. But looking for some direction/preference for the next set of 4 songs. Musically will still be some form of melodic metal. Aggressive or cinematic, but just talking about vocal performance here.

"The Absolute" out now!
"Ascension is the union of the path and the destination. The 4th and final stage of the Synchronicity Cycle. Maya has emerged from the mountain not as a survivor, but as a sovereign. Clad in high-fidelity chrome armor that bridges the gap between spirit and technology, she has integrated her shadows. The violet eyes of the Observer have become the absolute vision of a being in total synchronicity with the universe. The 40-year path has been crossed. The cycle is complete. This is The Absolute."

"The Lazz returns with the song 'Iron Scale,' the crushing second chapter in the 'Alchemical War' concept cycle. Following the destructive fire of the previous track "The Blackening", this technical groove metal anthem explores the violent structural failure of the Jungian Ego-Collapse.
The narrative follows the Viking lycanthrope Ulfar, whose rigid warrior discipline—the 'Iron Scale'—finally shatters under the weight of his primal nature. As his human logic fails, the emerald-eyed hunter within takes control. Video coming June 2026.

Out now! "Observer". "To find the Absolute, one must first lose everything. The third stage of the Synchronicity Cycle. Stripped of her armor and her daggers, Maya is reduced to the state of the Beggar. Forced onto the freezing slopes of the mountain, she faces the physical and psychological ordeal of the 'Observer.' This is the moment of Ego Death. Through the ice, the lightning, and the landslide, she stops looking at the world and starts seeing it. Her eyes shift to a deep, resonant violet as the 'Synchronicity Cycle' reaches its turning point. Clarity is not a gift; it is a survival tactic." The 4th and final part of the "Synchronicity Cycle" is scheduled for release on 5/9/2026.

Hey all! I know many of you have been waiting for the release of the 2nd official music video following Maya and her journey to transcendence. Today I released "Riddle in the Mist". This story continues to follow Maya from her experiences in "The Resonance".
Welcome to the second official music video of the "Synchronicity Cycle"! Maya continues her journey to transcendence. Following her journey from "The Resonance".
The silence is broken. The second stage of the Synchronicity Cycle. As Maya enters the thick fog of uncertainty, her internal power begins to bleed into reality. Her eyes ignite with a piercing blue glow—a reflection of the lethal energy humming within her throwing daggers. This is the awakening. She is no longer just moving through the world; she is hunting the truth within the mist. The 'Riddles' are the obstacles of the ego, and Maya is the blade that cuts through them. The hunt is on."
