After four quite different sounding albums as a duo, the Trondheim- based black metal band Gjendod has now returned with their 5th full-length. It comes as no surprise that 'Livskramper' also follows that path of constant changes, this time a ninety degrees turn, very well helped by the new drummer TK, who's most listened previous work might be the 'Trondertun'-session by Thorns. TK is another injection of mad supremacy into the spine of the band. A fine and varied Black Metal album which includes a spectrum of feelings, from sheer passiveness to outraged despair, every second of the album is a life cramp. All draped in the crushing sound recorded in the infamous NordStern studios. A narcissistic scolding album of life, aggressively roared and whispered in dialect. GJENDOD's brand new masterpiece 'Livskramper' is a more than worthy beginning of the band's second era. With artwork by Theodor Kittelsen. 300x heavyweight bloodred vinyl 12" (180g) in a microtene innerbag, innersleeve full-color on 220g carton (coated paper), download card, simple jacket, full-color printed on 350g (coated paper), all assembled in a plastic overbag.
