Swedish rockers
Gudars Skymning (Twilight of Gods, and also a Swedish equivalent of “Oh dear!”)
have now released their fifth slab of seventies infused hard rock sung in their
native tongue. If you’re into bands like Abramis Brama and Magnolia, this is without
doubt right up your alley. After the instrumental heavy folsky “Orloks Boning”
the band crushes on with the powerful riffster “Mars Makalös”. “Rakt ut I mörkret
(olycksfågel del II)” continues with some heavy shuffle, leading into the
up/mid-tempo chugging ”Allman” featuring Micke “Mojo” Nilsson on additional
vocals and lead guitar. “Hjärtats ödemark” continues with some heavy riffing, a
bit like blending Budgie, Black Sabbath and November. The verse and chorus of “Vid
vansinnets berg” are almost a bit Sabbath doomy in the approach, while the
bridge takes it into a slightly psychedelic landscape. “Soppan” starts out as a
shuffle oriented number, but takes a turn into a doomy territory in the verse. What
makes Gudars Skymning sound a bit different is Kenny-Oswald Dufvenberg’s
slightly different melodic approach, which makes it quite unique. Even though
the band has evolved a bit by each record, they haven’t strayed away from their
original formula. This band just keep on delivering album after album, all having
that high class and quality! Kick ass stuff!
