Known for his work with Opeth and Spiritual Beggars, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Per Wiberg this time has crafted the new solo EP “All Is Well In The Land Of The Living, But For The Rest Of Us… Lights Out” showcasing a bright and eclectic creative approach.
The journey begins with the cinematic soundscapes of “All Is Well” which relies on intricate atmospheric arrangements and soulful vocals that can evoke somber feelings amplified by the gloomy melodic accents.
On “In The Land Of The Living” the complex keyboard layers easily create a surreal mood spiced up by the catchy rhythmic patterns and the smooth chorus in contrast with the enigmatic instrumental passages which can acquire darker nuances.
“But For The Rest Of Us…” feels like a nocturnal soundtrack creating a distant dreamy sonic realm as haunting piano melodies flow gently through a darkened ambient maze carefully built by elaborate multilayered arrangements.
“Lights Out” focuses on an eloquent vocal performance and a poignant melodic & atmospheric ensemble emphasizing an inner darkness that will ultimately reach the acme with a sophisticated guitar solo.
Undoubtedly “All Is Well In The Land Of The Living, But For The Rest Of Us… Lights Out” will appeal to music connoisseurs as Per Wiberg embraces a dazzling avant-garde style to create a unique work of music.

Swedish psychedelic folk rock collective Lykantropi takes you back to the rock and folk music of the glorious early ‘70s with the new full length “Tales To Be Told”.

The traditional folk vibes linger through “Coming Your Way” which combines soothing luminous flute harmonies and catchy guitar melodies that stand out for the authentic retro tonalities.  

The title track features classic rock nuances as the guitar work naturally shifts from gritty riffage to smooth melodic phrases accompanied by a magical vocal delivery and celestial atmospheric accents. 

On the intricate track “Kom ta mig ut” the mellow guitar progressions and the glowing flutes evoke a beautiful pastoral world far from the actual reality while the bittersweet vocals can easily evoke a profound nostalgia. 

The strength of “Spell On Me” comes from the delicious occult rock mood that leads to bewitching vocals and a subtle darkened flair while the guitar work delivers edgy melodic patterns enriched by a charismatic solo. 

You can still perceive a moody rock soul within the rhythmic segments of  “Världen går vidare” yet the dreamy atmosphere and the warm & spacey melodic essence will take you to a different world probably in the middle of the woods. 

Throughout “Tales To Be Told” Lykantropi confidently channel the spirit of wilderness to create a cathartic sonic realm characterized by an irresistible vintage style and enchanting folk soundscapes.
