Lords of Form- False Light EP

Lords of Form is a group lead by Niall Hone (ex Hawkwind, Tribe of Cro). This is their most recent EP, which comes bundled with the first batch of the bands first vinyl called Our Shared Humanit out now on the UK label, Skidmark Multimedia. It is a compilation of tracks from the bands first 3 releases. 5 tracks, total.  Pity it is too expensive to buy in the EU otherwise I would love to own this one.. Here is the bands description of the LP:


Its Revolution Time – A hard-hitting opener that sets the tone with its commanding riffs and soaring vocals. A song for the times we face as a collective on this planet

Fhhu – Electronic’s build with memorable melodies that calm the listener.

Break My Gaze – Dynamic shifts and moments of emotional intensity, interspersed with improvisational sections.

23 Strangers – This track builds using synthesisers into a full blown space rock romp.

Everyone Knows Your Name – A high-energy track that is over in little over two minutes.

We Soothe, You Suffer –Over 20 minutes of improvised sonic mayhem. Drums pound and guitars sore, the cosmic nod is strong here!

Here is my take on the new EP, Krakern vs. XC, starts off with some strange sounds but then heads off into a more spacey territory with echoed guitar and vocals but a mean ass bass drive. It spaces out in the middle section with a nice melodic solo before getting a bit angry and taking another melodic turn.  Trippy song… Blood Dream is like movie soundtrack stuff and quite dark and creepy.  The Vestibule of Solitude starts quite spacey with a pad synth, some very deep sounds that shook the floor of my listening room (I have a subwoofer). Again, this could be some soundtrack music. I love it when the Tangerine Dream like synth arpeggio starts. Cool track. Stardust brings back the heavy riffs. A nice Huw Lloyd Langton like lead guitar line eventually takes the lead. It comes down as they jam it out a bit.  The current band is: Niall Hone, Jamie Gillet, George Cobbold, and Trim.
