\"Arkentype-Disorientated\"<\/a>
\nI’m not necessarily a fan of every little detail this young Norwegian band does on their debut full-length, but that does not take away the fact that ‘Disorientated’ is a very, very special album. In fact, I’m tempted to say that I’ve probably never heard anything quite like it.<\/p>\n

The cover doesn’t really give away what the genre is, so when I listened to the album the first time and the folk\/soundtrack-like intro began, I thought that this was going to be yet another folk metal album. That is far from the truth. Immediately after the intro, Ashes and Dirt kicks in with a downtuned djent attack, although also with a\u00a0big slab\u00a0of melodic death metal a la In Flames – and, indeed, vocalist Kevin Olsen uses\u00a0a style which bears resemblance to Anders Frid\u00e9n’s (and you can’t help noticing when Olsen bellows ‘in flames I’m gonna drown’ – is that a nod\u00a0or what?).<\/p>\n

Although Olsen returns to the Frid\u00e9n style several times, he in no way limits himself to this as he also brings on a clean vocal as well as death grunts. There’s also space for two female guest vocalists throughout the album, which definitely adds to the overall beauty of ‘Disorientated’.<\/p>\n

And that is the thing: There is room for beauty as well as the rip and tear. There is room for strings and violins alongside the downtuned motherf*cker guitars, and there is room for tunes like Time Collapse\u00a0and Ignorant Child\u00a0where especially Olsen virtually does a Townsend.<\/p>\n

I like that you can sense that this band doesn’t want\u00a0to limit themselves, but still has a focus on writing songs which are actually bearable to listen to.\u00a0Even if I don’t love all of the details as I started out by saying, I can completely appreciate that this is something special and that this is a special band who, if they play their cards right, could turn into one of the next big things in a not too distant future.<\/p>\n

Here’s “Time Collapse”:<\/p>\n
