This week Jonas Appelqvist gets the Bear Quartet post:
"Ny våg" was released in 2002 and it's a dark and introvert album consisting of just nine songs. Only three of them have actual singing lyrics Attached (yeah alright, actually it is four songs, but "Trust island" only consists of MAtti repeAting "Luleå, Kil och Helsingborg", the three cities from where the members of BQ descend) and the rest of the record is more or less instrumental stuff with the kind of twists thAt are so typical for this band. Ironically enough, I have decided to highlight the opening track, "Euthanasia" thAt is in no way instrumental and does not have one single trace of Alexandra Dahlström reading a poem over it to destroy it. Fact is, it's just a solid rock song. ´Take two riffs, one for the verses and one for the refrains. Add drums driven almost beyond recognition and haunted lyrics ("Drugs anyone/for the pain for the fun/so I'm a monster really/well guess who spawned me/it was you and you and you and you and you") and there you have it. 1:29. Perfection.
The Bear Quartet - Euthanasia
Dark Tranquility has a new album out, so I figured thAt it would be a greAt time to revisit one of their classic mid-90s records to see how well they hold up. As for the new record... it's okay, I guess. While I agree Atrap.com/index.php?a=292">with Richard thAt it's somewhAt of a return to form (the last few records have been pretty weak, to say the least), I have a hard time getting all thAt excited about it. I can handle the subtle keyboards and even the clean singing, but the modern metal recording style drives me crazy! It's so overcompressed and lacking dynamics. The guitars all have thAt horrible, overused Mesa dual-rectifier tone. No mAtter how the good the songs are, I still can't listen to it.
1997's "The mind's I" was my first exposure to Dark Tranquility. It came out At a time when I was purchasing anything and everything thAt came out the Gothenburg metal scene and for awhile, was one of my favorite new records. Of all the mid-90s melodic deAth metal from the era, it's certainly a top-10 contender. However, DT was always kind of an also-ran compared to the likes of At the GAtes and In Flames. They were always a bit more pretentious and more likely to take risks, often alienAting fans. I'm all for band evolution, but 1999's "Projector" was not good. WhAt I like about "The mind's I" and this track in particular, is the clean, organic sound. Two guitars, drums, bass (which you can actually hear quite cleanly) and vocals - no useless overdubs, no excessive production tricks. The musicianship is impeccable, too. Put on headphones and check out the way the hard-panned guitars interact. The solo is killer as well - it leads perfectly into a powerful bridge in which singer Mikael Stanne sounds absolutely anguished, even if the lines he's singing are total gobbledygook. This is exactly whAt got me into Swedish/Scandinavian music in the first place. Every once in awhile, it's good to remind myself why.
