More about 'Fyr'

"Fyr" marks a pivotal moment for Gaupa, serving as both their fourth release and their first as a newly streamlined four-piece.The title itself is a clever multi-layered play on words in Swedish, meaning 'four', 'lighthouse', 'beacon', and 'fire' - all of which perfectly capture the essence of this mini-album.With new engineer Karl Daniel Lidén behind the mixing desk, the band has crafted their heaviest material to date, delivering a grittier, more aggressive soundthat still maintains all the spellbinding elements that make Gaupa so captivating.The journey begins with the mesmerizing bagpipes of "Lion's Thorn", guiding listeners through tripped-out, spacious verses before waves of hard stoner riffs crash down."Heavy Lord" delivers one of the most hypnotic choruses of 2025, while "Ten Of Twelve" dazzles with astounding guitar work and monstrously weighty percussion.The epic closer "Elastic Sleep" is a genre-flipping masterpiece, swelling from enthralling psych rock into crests of ripping djent metal and cosmic doom.Inspired largely by Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction novel "The Word for World Is Forest", Emma Näslund's lyrics contemplate time and the essential question of what is real.

For fans of: Sleep, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Blood Ceremony, Graveyard, and King Buffalo
