After some years of focusing on several other projects, Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie) and Tor-Helge Skei (Manes, Manii, etc) are back with the 3rd Lethe album. “Alienation” is a continuation of the special soundscapes of Lethe, while also testing new territories.
Taking their name from one of the five rivers in Hades in Greek mythology, the Swiss/Norwegian duo formed in 2012 as a home for Anna and Tor-Helge’s musical and artistic experiments - and right from the beginning, the main rule has been that there are no rules, no expectations, no compromises. The band has been categorized as a lot of things, i.e. genre-bending, style-bastardization, eclectic, and just plain weird, but even if experimentalism and fuck-all-rules is an important factor, the band is not afraid to incorporate melody and catchiness into the music. Lethe is something unique, something personal and quite different. The result is a melting pot of dark rock, pop, electronic, experimentation and metal, filled with a cold and harsh atmosphere, beautiful melodies and mesmerizing grooves.
“Alienation” is about being outsiders, outcasts, and alienated in various forms, mentally, physically, ideologic(ally) and musically. Expect the unexpected!
Lethe is one of the most exciting discovery I made browsing Bandcamp's Black Metal selection. It's difficult to describe their music without using bullshit adjectives like "Ambiant" / "Post Black Metal" / "Depressing Black Metal"... The truth is just that Lethe sounds truely unique. If you love the most progressive works of Manes, Blueneck, Ulver and other really creative black metal bands, you'll definitely love Lethe. SokK
Merci Laure pour cette incroyable musique qui transcende l'espace et le temps afin de nous projeter dans un monde aux contours flous : charmant, puissant, étonnant, mystifiant... ça touche droit au cœur. Hâte de découvrir la prochaine production. ♫
