GJENDØD - Livskramper LP (BLOODRED)
After four quite different sounding albums as a duo, the Trondheim- based black metal band Gjendød has now returned with their 5th full-length.
It comes as no surprise that ‘Livskramper' also follows that path of constant changes, this time a ninety degrees turn, very well helped by the new drummer TK, who's most listened previous work might be the ‘Trøndertun'-session by Thorns. TK is another injection of mad supremacy into the spine of the band.
A fine and varied Black Metal album which includes a spectrum of feelings, from sheer passiveness to outraged despair, every second of the album is a life cramp.
All draped in the crushing sound recorded in the infamous NordStern studios.
A narcissistic scolding album of life, aggressively roared and whispered in dialect.
GJENDØD's brand new masterpiece ‘Livskramper' is a more than worthy beginning of the band's second era.
