A stranger song now; the band's certainly a bit weirder than others I've featured before.
And by that, I mean besides being a avant-garde metal band, they created have a fake history about how their songs attracted the ire of the church a few centuries ago, have consistently wacky song titles such as 'Poetic Pitbull Revolutions', 'Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball', 'Balrog Boogie' and 'Pink Noise Waltz' (never mind the album names!), and album art like this.
And they're Swedish! What's not to love? =p
At any rate, I feel their stuff is worth a listen, or rather a few listens (it grows on you). Here's one of them that I picked randomly!
Alternate link!
Lyrics:
See? Weird, yet pretty darn catchy imo. It has very nice moments of solo as well here and there, as do most of the songs. This was the opening song of their third album (they have three atm). More swing than metal, but then a lot of their songs are basically some strange beautiful mess of genres. It's got the likes of tango, and opera for instance in some songs. Some songs (mainly in their first album) also linked up nicely too (as in, two or three songs fit together like a larger arrangement).
I'm not quite sure how relevant that song title really was, but oh well. Lyrics can be neat at times too, but my main favourite with this is the music itself, and the fact this band keeps trying various things. They're one of those I listen to a lot, haha.
Next entry!
