Year: 2009

We've been uploading some black and white-album covers in a row now, so let's continue with that, even though this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. This band does not include happy native africans dancing around a voodoo pole though, as it may seem from the cover. On the other hand, it does contain three very talented musicians from the dark woods of Sweden. And as I'm thinking about what would be the most epic of these two, you can read more about the album below...
This version of the album is the original, with all lyrics in Swedish. There is a newer release called "Inner Receivings" which I predict is the same, but with all lyrics translated. I don't know for sure, since I haven't listened to it.
This album is a must-listen to everyone who is cold hearted and bitter. Because this is very cold hearted and bitter. It does start off pretty calm, then the second track, which is a raw black metal-song, comes and slaps you in the face. Then it shifts from being raw and evil to more sensitive and melancholic parts.


Song(s) you should listen to: Insikter is actually just the intro of the album, but it's really the best tracks on it. It just consists of a very repetitive guitar, giving you some kind of Ättestupa-feeling. It's what I call "hippie-melancholic" - meaning that it's not that melancholic that you want to lay down and die, but you get very calm of it. Livslusten For Med Vinden is a shorter interlude, but it has the same concept with it's repetitive guitar.
Geväret Lades Fram, Processen Blev Kort (roughly translated as "the rifle was handed over, the process became short") is one of the real songs on the album which I really do like. It takes the intro- and interlude-guitar which I adore, and but it into a mixture of the raw song. And it endurances those 10 minutes a song has to be to get cred by the those "post-kinds" of people (like myself). Amazing.
