Depression


Dekadens, new great stuff from the Swedish depressive (black) metal band Lifelover.

“The music is urgent and brisk in a dark, hellish kind of way. The Lifelover style is very distinctive: clean-cut smart riffs with even the black metal elements that do appear (not very much) sounding sharp and clean at their supposedly buzziest, medium-fast rhythms, piano melodies that often run counter to the rest of the music and interludes of field recordings or ambience when you least expect them.” (from metal-archives.com)
“Lifelover delivers a very bleak view of modern urban life and relationships in Sweden and its effect on human psychology.”
It’s funny to see the amount of incredibly aggressive and desperate music produced by Scandinavia, right when Scandinavia is indicated as one of the areas in the world where the quality of life is highest …
There must be something weird with statistics ...
Anyway, this new stuff by Lifelover is great, and that’s enough for the moment.

dl.
listen.

This stuff seems to be strangely hip now, very bizarre.
