EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Swedish act Beckahesten present their latest material, Svältens Tid (translating to The Time of Famine). This eagerly awaited album promises to captivate listeners with its hauntingly beautiful sonorities and evocative lyrics, showcasing the band's unique ability to blend dark, atmospheric soundscapes with powerful storytelling. The album, driven by the creative forces of Peo Bengtsson and Per Åhlund (member of Sophia, and currently active with Diskrepant, Ditch State and more) joined here by vocalist Viktoria Rolandsdotter, draws inspiration from various elements of their rich cultural heritage. Svältens Tid takes listeners on an intense journey through the depths of the human experience. The album's lyrics paint a vivid picture of struggle and introspection. Each track is meticulously crafted to convey a sense of urgency and raw emotion, making this album a standout in Beckahesten's discography. The wolf has woken up - these words encapsulate the essence of the album, a stirring metaphor for awakening and transformation. Beckahesten's signature sound, characterized by haunting vocals, intricate instrumentals, and a darkly ethereal atmosphere, is at its most potent in Svältens Tid. Fans and newcomers alike will find themselves immersed in the band's unique sonic landscape, where every note and lyric contribute to a larger, cohesive narrative. Beckahesten defies easy categorization, seamlessly blending Dark-Ambient atmospheres with Ritual passages, highlighted here by the whispering, spoken words of Viktoria Rolandsdotter. Their music is a tapestry of metallic sounds and diverse noises, intricately woven to create an immersive and haunting experience. Each track is a progressive build-up, amplifying the introspective and enigmatic nature of this opus. Vinyl Co-Released with Cloister Recordings.
