Lelantos is an atmospheric funeral doom metal one-man project from Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, founded in 2016 by multi-instrumentalist Bruno B. Braga. The project released its debut full-length Akrasia in February 2017 through Loneravn Records, a five-part conceptual work featuring ethereal keyboards and clean vocals that explores themes of loneliness and the limits of human will. The band's name is drawn from Greek mythology, where Lelantos was the titan of air, with its root meaning "to move unseen."
