FREDAG DEN 13 EN "Dystopisk Utsikt"

FREDAG DEN 13 EN "Dystopisk Utsikt" contains 11 fierce tracks in the same style as their previous albums – the mix of riffs hailing from the last 30 years of rock music. In the opening track “Plågad Av Ljuset” you will hear fragments of the Gothenburg death sound made famous by At The Gates, followed by raging d-beat in ’1984′. The rock ‘n roll-feel of Poison Idea hits the listener in “Av Skuld Och Skam” and the HC-breakdowns are lined up in “Dödad Av Tid.” You will also hear fragments of Scandinavian black metal in riffs like “Orsak Föder Orsak.” Lead singer G explains the idea behind the lyrics on the album: “The lyrics are not thematic like on their last album Domedagar where the leitmotif was the end of the world, but on Dystopisk Utsikt (which means ‘Dystopian View’) most of the lyrics involves the disgust towards religion, fascism and oppression that have risen all over the world during 16/17. Songs like “Fängslad Mentalt,” which translates as ‘Mentally Imprisoned,’ is about the constant fears living as a refugee, and “Är Du Hora Eller Gud?” (‘Are You A Whore Or God?) is about the sexual harassment that was made public by the #metoo movement.” £12.00 (limited Gold Vinyl edition)
