FLEURETY Last Minute Lies - I Left The Planet

Popis:

SPECIAL COMBINED RELEASE INCLUDING FLEURETY’S HARD TO FIND 1999 EP, PLUS THE RARE “I LEFT THE PLANET” PROJECT TRACKS FROM 1996 INCLUDING MEMBERS OF VED BUENS ENDE/AURA NOIR. WITH NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO. 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 “Zweizz” Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history. Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences & obscure/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 & the ‘A Darker Shade Of Evil’ 7” the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of ‘Min Tid Skal Komme’; an exquisite & revered journey through dark & often introspective soundscapes. ‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs’ & introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange & bizarre. The result was a mind-bending (or expanding) voyage of eccentricity within the metal genre, presenting a new masterclass in avantgarde mood-setting in the process. Also included in this special release is the rare “I Left The Planet” project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark & poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal & percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende/Aura Noir. On what is the 35th anniversary of the band’s formation, this edition of ‘Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet’ is presented on CD format including booklet with full lyrics, with audio specially remastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this release.
