Background information über 'Sjukdom'

The final chapter of Swedish depressive black metal pioneers Lifelover arrived with crushing emotional weight on "Sjukdom" (meaning "disease" in English). This fourth and tragically last studio album pushed the band's characteristic sound to its absolute extremes, creating a haunting dichotomy where their bittersweet melodies reached new heights of beauty while their coal-black heaviness descended into even uglier depths. The album stands as both a creative peak and a devastating farewell, showcasing the band's unique ability to blend melancholy with aggression in ways that few could match.

Following the critical success of 2008's cathartic "Konkurs", these mysterious Swedish misanthropes ventured down an even more daring and challenging path. The tragic death of founding member B in September 2011, shortly after the album's completion, transformed "Sjukdom" from a bold artistic statement into a poignant swansong. The record captures Lifelover at their most uncompromising, weaving together elements of depressive black metal, post-punk, and experimental soundscapes into something uniquely disturbing yet beautiful.

For fans of:
Shining, Woods of Desolation, Hypothermia and Katatonia
