![]() “Leker for Barn, Ritualer for Voksne” is essentially a collection of immersive songs with layers of enigmatic charm to them. It is also a creative journey far removed from any genre conventions or notions of what prog music really is. The offering possesses a wonderful aesthetic and the depth of imagination on display here is impressive. It is most definitely a weird and eccentric piece of work, but that certainly does not mean that it is bereft of artistic ambition. In short, “Leker for Barn, Ritualer for Voksne” is rich, detailed, and meant to be listened to in full, but it has to be said that its latter half is more diverse and shows a greater array of color, nuance, and substance. I particularly dig the groovy “Sjubidubidu Sju”, the eerie “Velkommen til Hades”, the ridiculously catchy “Kharons Vise”, and the trippy “Dn Tolvte Baal”. All of those (and many of the other songs on the record) have a subtle tone and hint of something unsettling and sinister coursing through them. Due to the nature of the compositions and the lyrics being in Norwegian, I reckon that the disc will primarily appeal to Scandinavian lovers of psychedelic prog rock. As much as I cherish the album, I must admit that this is one of those records that I probably will not listen to that often as it requires and demands quite a lot from the listener in terms of being in the right frame of mind in order to fully appreciate the material. It would be easy to merely listen to two or three cuts and then dismiss the whole thing as childish bullshit, but that would be to miss the point of “Leker for Barn, Ritualer for Voksne” completely. This one comes highly recommended, but approach it with an open mind (and I do mean OPEN), okay? https://tusm-rke.bandcamp.com/album/leker-for-barn-ritualer-for-voksne Andre omtaler:09.12.2019: STATUS QUO - Backbone 06.12.2019: TYKETTO - Strength in Numbers Live 05.12.2019: IMMANIFEST - Macrobial 02.12.2019: THE DROWNING - The Radiant Dark 28.11.2019: GRAND SLAM - Hit the Ground 27.11.2019: PAGANIZER - The Tower Of The Morbid 26.11.2019: FILTHGRAVE - Necromantic Rituals 25.11.2019: SODOM - Out Of The Frontline Trench (EP) 23.11.2019: NOVEMBERS DOOM - Nephilim Grove 22.11.2019: RATTENFÄNGER - Geisslerlieder 21.11.2019: TUSMØRKE - Leker for Barn, Ritualer for Voksne 20.11.2019: WAYNE HUSSEY - Salad Daze 19.11.2019: ASHEN CROWN - Obsolescence 18.11.2019: BÖLZER - Lese Majesty 15.11.2019: THE END A.D. - Badlands 14.11.2019: KALDVARD - Dømt til Bål og Brann 13.11.2019: VINSTA - Drei Deita 12.11.2019: CREATURE - Hound 11.11.2019: MARA - Rök 10.11.2019: FROSTMOON ECLIPSE - Worse Weather to Come |
