LAETHORA – The Light in Which We All Burn CD
The End Records
Back in 2007 I got this band’s debut, March of the Parasite. It was DARK TRANQUILITY guitarist Niklas Sundin’s side project where he broke free for a bit. Seeing that I wasn’t a fan of his main band I came to it negatively but was completely surprised how much I did like it. It wasn’t the greatest thing around but as far as competent sounding death metal, yeah it was decent. Personally I thought it was gonna be a one off since Sundin is not going to leave his day job with DARK TRANQUILITY. But here he is back for another round. Then again that’s what Northern European musicians’ do, start side projects or new bands, in order to avoid working on the fishing boats.
The same lineup as on March of the Parasite is back which had three members, second guitar, bass and drums, from a Swedish Goth band called THE PROVENANCE. Also back on vocals is Jonatan Nordenstam who I thought made the last release worth the ride. This time around it’s not so special. It’s kinda like sleeping with someone from your past and the next morning you’re asking yourself was I drunk last time? The Light in Which We All Burn is fairly average sounding death metal with hints at the “core”. It’s all that chug chug chug and blast beats out the whazoo. 2009 was the year of the New Wave of Old School Swedish Death Metal with bands like EVISCERATED and my favorites TRIBULATION leading the way for a new generation of fans. This release sounds like just another band from Gothenburg.
