comment: |
Swedish act Beckahesten present their latest material, "Svältens
Tid" (translating to The Time of Famine). This eagerly awaited
album promises to captivate listeners with its hauntingly beautiful
sonorities and evocative lyrics, showcasing the band's unique
ability to blend dark, atmospheric soundscapes with powerful
storytelling. The album, driven by the creative forces of Peo
Bengtsson and Per Åhlund (member of Sophia, and currently active
with Diskrepant, Ditch State and more) joined here by vocalist
Viktoria Rolandsdotter, draws inspiration from various elements of
their rich cultural heritage.
"Svältens Tid" takes listeners on an intense journey through the
depths of the human experience. The album's lyrics paint a vivid
picture of struggle and introspection. Each track is meticulously
crafted to convey a sense of urgency and raw emotion, making this
album a standout in Beckahesten's discography. "The wolf has woken
up" – these words encapsulate the essence of the album, a stirring
metaphor for awakening and transformation.
Beckahesten's signature sound, characterized by haunting vocals,
intricate instrumentals, and a darkly ethereal atmosphere, is at
its most potent in "Svältens Tid". Fans and newcomers alike will
find themselves immersed in the band's unique sonic landscape,
where every note and lyric contribute to a larger, cohesive
narrative. Beckahesten defies easy categorization, seamlessly
blending Dark-Ambient atmospheres with Ritual passages, highlighted
here by the whispering, spoken words of Viktoria Rolandsdotter.
Their music is a tapestry of metallic sounds and diverse noises,
intricately woven to create an immersive and haunting experience.
Each track is a progressive build-up, amplifying the introspective
and enigmatic nature of this opus. Vinyl Co-Released with Cloister
Recordings.
This summer, the Swedish trio Beckahesten comprised of Peo
Bengtsson, Per Åhlund, and vocalist Viktoria Rolandsdotter,
released their third album, “Svältens Tid” (translated as “The Time
Of Famine”). The opus features four captivating new tracks that
serve as a perfect continuation of their previous work. Drawing on
Dark-Ambient atmospheres infused with Ritualistic percussion, the
music conjures images of forbidden, shadowy rituals, perfectly
complementing the overwhelming soundscapes that offer a rich visual
appeal. While it evokes elements of dark fantasy, Beckahesten
primarily showcases their talent through this meticulously crafted
record.
bio : |
Swedish project featuring Peo Bengtsson, Per Åhlund of Skare
and Diskrepant and vocals from Viktoria Rolandsdotter. The
music of Beckahesten emerges from a borderland where
ambient, industrial and folk music meet. Harmonies and
rhythms intertwine with lyric poetry, becoming rites and
portents. From this horror folk music Beckahesten arises.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
This nfo is designed to be both human and machine readable.
We also bring a few more things:
- The filenames are appended with ISRC codes disambiguating common
dupechecking problems like remastered and remixed tracks,
transliteration errors, foreign characters...
- id3 tags include a lot more metadata than average releases,
some to name a few:
- extended genres (extracted from last.fm/bandcamp)
- similar artists
- BPM (also shown in the tracklist above)
- URLS for that release on various websites for listeners to
look for more info and to simplify nukers' jobs checking
releases
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.6
