AMALTHEA. " is one sided 12“ features two new songs with a total running
time of 18:37 minutes. Those two songs re$ ect the whole range of capability
this band is known for. The arc of suspense you are going through while you
listen to these perfect guitarmelodies ,which are batched and connected to
each other, let you fall into melancholy, desperation and sparks of hope. The
drums and bassguitar built an own unit which fits perfectly in the picture and
emphasize the guitars and voices. The vocals are sung clean as well as
screamed.
Thee band itself set the goal for this 12”, to do something new and different
and challenging in the same way. " e songs were recorded in the bands own
studio in Gothenbourg. Josh Bonati mastered the songs in his studio in
Brooklyn, New York. The lyrics are in English and Swedish, which creates a
very own dynamic atmosphere. Contentual there are many metaphors, which
tell a poetic story of a man lost in a chaotic state of addctionary world in pie-
ces, where he wants to and answers.
The guestvocals in the song “Dimman” are sung by Henrik Grevesmühl and
Shelby Cinca (FRODUS). This 12” is a masterpice of emotive soundscapes,
experimental ambient sound and classic Postrock/Postmetal parts. " ese

Everybody who is into bands like " is Will Destroy You, Cult Of Luna or
Godspeed You Black Emperor, open your ears!
