Fanatism, is another band featuring members
of Kungens Män from Stockholm. This
album features 8 tracks of some pretty hypnotic rock music starting off with
the dark track, Når man allting sett.
This one has a great bass line and some heavier guitar parts, which meld
nicely into some great melodic layers. Cool track. Shiv-li Yeah has a sort of
eastern like feel to the guitar parts with this shimmery synth in the
background and more laid back vocal. Quantum Fuzz changes the mood totally with
a slow track with two styles of guitar mixed in for a great mood change. Later there are a few saxophone blasts just to
keep you on your toes! The vocal arrangements are interesting as well. Upon the
Cross starts with a heavy fuzz bass and then the band kicks in and the vocal,
Upon the Cross is repeated many times and is the only ting sung (like Pharaoh
Overlord might do). As this track really builds up then the saxophone kicks in
with a great solo. Excellent song. Tiden Rinner slows thing down quite a bit
with an almost depressing mood to this track. The bass playing and tracks
reminds me of early Pink Floyd in a way. Nackögen starts off being lead by the
bass line as the synths sort of layer in and out to give it a bit of a
psychedelic feel. The slide guitar with effects is also quite cool. A unique
track. One of us can not be Me (great song title!) takes us back to where the
LP started with another sort of hypnotic mid-paced track with another killer
bass line. The Future Past closes out this excellent album. I was quite
surprised how much I dug this record. Excellent work guys. Very different from
Automatism and Kungens Män but if you like those bands for sure check this out below, where you can hear the entire album.
