The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, \u0026amp; has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) \u0026amp; drummer\/vocalist Svein Egil \"Zweizz\" Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dodheimsgard) throughout their full history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFleurety 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 \u0026amp; obscure\/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the 'Black Snow' demo in 1993 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; revered journey through dark \u0026amp; often introspective soundscapes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Last Minute Lies' was originally released in 1999, preceding the band's second full-length album, 'Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs' \u0026amp; introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange \u0026amp; 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso 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 \u0026amp; poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal \u0026amp; percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende\/Aura Noir. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56775627080054,"sku":"0801056720436","price":9.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_14458220_1245076_20251203081730.jpg?v=1764753780","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0801056720436-last-minute-lies-i-left-the-planet","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
