A rhodesy take on "Temple of Light" off of the Fable original soundtrack (2004, Sumthing Else Music Works) originally written and produced by Russell Shaw for the video game Fable by Lionhead Studios.

Temple of Light

Shameless imitation recorded on the 8-string a while back.
Excuse the tons of mistakes/sloppy playing/detuned guitars.
Perhaps one day I'll make something out of this.

Shuggah 3 slask

A mix between the live version and the album version with my own spin on it, sort of. There's plenty of little mistakes, but I decided to keep them for a more raw feel.

Vocals recorded in one take (!) by Kid Han.

Original music by Mårten Hagström, lyrics by Tomas Haake, vocals by Kid Han (https://soundcloud.com/kid-han-889331533), instruments by MASKINALV.

Lethargica (Meshuggah cover)

Why not? One of my favorite sludge tracks of all time.

Played on 8-string guitars in F-tuning (a.k.a. Meshuggah-tuning).

True to the original and simultaneously not at all.

Second track off of the magnificent 2007 album "Earthen" by Italian band Lento.

Need (Lento cover)

Super sloppy The Ruins of Beverast cover in A for fun.

Kain's Countenance Fell (The Ruins of Beverast cover)

A tribute to Björn, a fallen brother in arms.

Today, the 25th of July, is the day of his funeral.

Hädanfärd

Pretty faithful (albeit in A instead of B) medley of two of my favorite Forgotten Tomb songs.

Entombed by Winter / House of Nostalgia (Forgotten Tomb cover)

Between Bronze Walls (The Ruins of Beverast cover)

Recorded in 2013, "reduxed" five years later as a tribute to a lost brother.

Probably the only friend I ever had who really supported my musicianship and pushed me to continue with it, was always interested in hearing my new stuff and always had constructive criticism.

Originally this had vocals as well, but since I lost this friend, the song kind of changed character and meaning for me, so I decided to scrap the vocals.

This one is, and was really always, for Micke.

2018

Hädanfärd II

Airing out some old material (5+ years) and touching up on it.

Förgänglighet

Got bored, so I dug out the 6-string. Also made a couple of more post-black/blackgaze covers (another Deafheaven song and two Lantlôs songs) that will be up soon.

Deafheaven songs are surprisingly harder than they seem.

Sunbather (Deafheaven cover)

Sort of rough and fucked up Deafheaven cover, but I like it.

Dream House (Deafheaven cover)
