Fredag Den 13:e - Manskliga Granstillstand - VINYL LP

Portland Oregon turns out another top-notch band. Lip Service. Music that takes on personal and global relationships, love & politics, with honesty, grit and strength. Influenced by home grown American music. Rock & roll, funk and blues. The lean sound of Lip Service, unfiltered by any corporate concern, immediately strikes a chord with people. Connecting through strong lyrics and the pulse of their music. With a passionate group writing process at a new level of collaboration on their CD 'Love & Politics'. Blending rock, blues and funk while keeping an ear on the world inspires their singular music. It's no wonder Portland is America's new indie rock Mecca! Performing live is definitely a highlight for Lip Service. Bars or Bookstores, Colleges or Charities, Fairs, Theme Parks or intimate House Parties are all a great way for us to meet and mix with everyone involved. The core of the band has been together since the late '90s when Paul DeLano (Extended-range Bassist) joined Rex Beard (Guitarist) on stage and in the studio during the making of 'Yesterdaze Child', the project of a singer/songwriter hailing from Tennessee. The result was an eleven song CD that can still be found on-line. Working with Keri Fletcher-Eason (Vocals) during the same project they decided to come together as a group with a long term view. A little patience delivered Mark Drury (Drums) and that rare chemistry emerged. Mark welds the band tightly together as he joins forces with the colossal bass playing of Paul on his arsenal of custom signature series, yes his signature, eight-string basses. Rex's guitar winds and grooves between rhythm and lead adding fuel to the fiery mix, as Keri's soulful and adept voice weaves it all together. Lip Service. A local band with a global view.

Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, & has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) & drummer/vocalist Svein Egil InchZweizzInch Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history. After a long hiatus, Fleurety triumphantly returned in 2017 with their third studio album, 'The White Death'; a new evolution for the band following their 'Department of Apocalyptic Affairs ' in 2000, while retaining the core essence of their timeless debut in particular. Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception in the 90s, for developing an altogether different style along with more dynamic musical influences and obscure & non-traditional riffing. Following on from the 'Black Snow' demo in 1993 & the 'A Darker Shade of Evil' 7Inch the following year, the band quickly refined their at times chaotic sound and presented their debut masterpiece to the world, in the shape of the full-length , 'Min Tid Skal Komme'; an exquisite and revered journey through dark and often introspective soundscapes. 'Min Tid Skal Komme' was originally recorded at Panser Studio in Norway & was specially remastered by longstanding partner of the band, Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this . This vinyl edition of 'Min Tid Skal Komme' also features the cover artwork from the album's original . Presented on limited white vinyl.

Blodsdåd och hor (Bloodshed and whoredom) is the third installment in the Jordfäst saga and the darkest chapter thus far. Bellowed by the winds from the past, it is forged with steel and blood in a furnace built by Scandinavian rock. The lyrical themes and musical compositions bond together, forming a strong and durable alloy. Under the unyielding strokes of hammers, the characteristic Jordfäst soundscape has been hardened, and the melodies have been thoroughly honed by melancholia to deep-cutting perfection. InchEtt altare av skärvorInch (An altar of shards) combines fragments from Völuspá with imagery of violent manipulation and mental torture to explore the everlasting desire in humans to make sense of their existence. InchDit gudarna trälar ärInch (Where the gods are thralls) journeys through centuries of Swedish history, shaped by steel and iron industry and defined by relentless warfare. The successful recording process of Av stoft was repeated during the creation of Blodsdåd och hor, and previous session drummer Jocke Unger has now joined the band permanently. Vocals and all instruments except drums were recorded in Studio Wheelmust by Elis, and drums were recorded by the ingenious Ulf Blomberg at Hoborec. The task of mixing and mastering was again entrusted to the masterful hands of William Blackmon of The Overlook.
