Description

Pete Flesh (Peter Karlsson) has been writing and recording extreme metal records since the 90s. He is famous for this work with Maze Of Torment, where was for nearly a decade and then later with Deceiver before forming The Pete Flesh Deathtrip. The traditional Swedish Death Metal sound and attitude is of course dominant on this second album by the band but The Pete Flesh Deathtrip brings a lot more to the table, both sonically and aesthetically. Svartnad sounds more atmospheric and angst-ridden. Its slower then the debut album which makes it feel like Pete has matured and realized that by slowing the tempo down it has made the tracks grow. Doomy parts fit the lyrical themes of introvert darkness and despair perfectly, and the furious, fast parts lend from black metal territories. All these elements are woven together with interesting song writing and a rare sense of melancholic melody that never gets predictable or stale. When Pete Flesh does something its done both with competence, consistency and dedication. Well worth checking out
