Vallmo

by Besvärjelsen

supported by

33muzika Just an absolutely riveting blizzard of song, where scenes of fighting vikings, gloomy days, pained catharsis, manic joy, remorse, and euphoria can all come about from listening to this album. A classic and hard album, has doom metal undertones, but melodic vocals and well played musical phrases will continue to hook the listener into the depths. Roda Rummet just gives me chills every time I hear it. Truly a masterpiece. Favorite track: Röda Rummet.

Marco Berg One of the best albums released this year. Just get it! Favorite track: I Skuggan Av Ditt Mörker.

Eric Sträm I want to talk about how I want to cut a slit in reality, and climb inside this music, like a warm blanket. How I felt instantly connected to this band and got a Besvärjelsen tattoo on my face. That might be weird though, so I’ll say this: Excellent work.

MARA Lägg dig ner slut ögonen Vi har mycket otalt än Somna sakta följ min röst Tyst i natten kall som frost Vindarna har vänt mot dig Så hur ska du förklara dig Mitt hat är vilt mitt hat gror djupt Åh baby, här finns inget slut Vindarna har vänt mot dig Så hur ska du förklara dig Svart magi på väg mot dig Så hur ska du förklara det Så somna sakta akta dig för natten Ty du har tatt ditt sista andetag Du må ha varit den som stått på makten Du med dina vidriga val Så tro ej du kan sova lugnt på natten Känner du hur elden knackar på Vi har väntat många långa nätter Ska du inte be oss stiga på Vindarna har vänt mot dig Så hur ska du förklara dig Mitt hat är vilt mitt hat gror djupt Åh baby, här finns inget slut Vindarna har vänt mot dig Så hur ska du förklara dig

RETURN TO NO RETURN You better run you’ve got to stay away Because they ain’t coming for your love You better go you’ve got to leave today Just turn your back and run And if the sky keeps falling down on you I’ll burn your bridges where you stand You suffer silently I know you do For you are never welcome back She rests for none she smells your pain they say And offers nothing in return She’ll hunt you down and take your name away You better run for sure And when you sky is falling over you Remember words you never said You’ve lost yourself this time you know it’s true For we shall never have your back LOST IN SPACE

RÖDA RUMMET Vid vägens slut där vinden viner Har du byggt dig själv ett bo Hör du viskningar från byn som skriker Att du aldrig ska få ro Inget vatten i din flod Storm över oss Men jag känner ingenting Vi färdas fram Mot undergång Känner du hur marken gungar Kan du se ifrån ditt träd Faller du så faller jag med Har du inget kvar att ge mig Inga vänner kvar att be Storm över oss Men jag känner ingenting Vi färdas fram Mot undergång Din tron av guld har rivits ner Känner du marken under dig Där berget brutit dina ben I mörka minnen dols ditt sken Vad har du gjort för din frihet Bakom dina samvetskval Vad har du gjort för din frihet Jag har slitit mig itu Jobbat hårt ser inget ljus Och i det mörka som blir sen Hittar ingen av oss hem Vi hittar inte hem Storm över oss Men jag känner ingenting Vi färdas fram Mot undergång Din tron av guld har rivits ner Känner du marken under dig Där berget brutit dina ben I mörka minnen dols ditt sken Vad har du gjort för din frihet Bakom dina samvetskval Vad har du gjort för din frihet

ÖKEN Vi har vandrat genom öknen och vi vill bara komma hem Vi har vandrat från då till nu och vi vill bara sjunka ner Har du tappat bort dig Har du gett upp hopp Har du övergivits I ditt ökenslott Viska till mig Sånger du hört från förr Vi har klättrat över bergen och vi vill bara ta oss upp Vi har klättrat från ljus till mörkt och vi ger upp när kroppen säger stop Har du tappat bort dig Har du gett upp hopp Har du övergivits Har du tappat nått Viska till mig Sånger du hört från förr

UNDER EN SVART HIMMEL Det kommer som en dimma, in över sjön Smygandes i dunkla mörka hörn På höga berg en frost så kall, skär den blå himlen i strimlor ned Solen blir svart, sot och eld äter sig in över skogen Metamorfos äger rum under en svart himmel Jag ser hur du längtar, precis som jag Regnet faller ned som ett minne klart Vinden reser sig och faller ned Långt där borta hör jag åskan rulla in Solen blir svart, sot och eld äter sig in över skogen Metamorfos äger rum under en svart himmel. Under en svart himmel
6.	I Skuggan Av Ditt Mörker 06:46	lyrics	buy track
I SKUGGAN AV DITT MÖRKER Lämna dina falska tårar utanför För ingen kommer sörja dina val Spegelbilder blänker inte för din själ Sanna mina tomma ord Hur länge har du blundat När blev det svårt för dig I skuggan av ditt mörker Kan du väl vara dig själv Finns det gudar väntar jag nog utanför För sånt som rör mitt väsen ger mig ont Jag är hård som natten Jag är hänsynslös Sanna mina tomma ord Bada mina synder under månens glans Ty jag har inget jag önskar ogjort Döden straffar bara de som ber om mer Du kommer ångra dig då Hur länge har du blundat Nävr blev det svårt för dig I skuggan av ditt mörker Kan du väl vara dig själv

FALSARIUM Du blundar när dom ber om mer Kan du se molnen över dig När dagen lider mot sitt slut Och dina händer jobbat hårt Dom skriker och du bugar När dagen lider mot sitt slut Och dina händer jobbat Finns dom i tider som dig tär Ditt liv som glitter och misär När du står där ensam Ner på knä Ger dom dig den lycka som du ber om Du sträcker dig mot sol som gryr Var hälsad dagen Ta mitt liv När du står där ensam Ner på knä Ger dom dig den lycka som du ber om Du sträcker dig mot sol gryr Var hälsad dagen Ta mitt liv Var hälsad dagen Ta mitt liv Var hälsad dagen Ta mitt liv

ALONE By mountains close to where we live They have seen shadows of your wind Things you had left to seek for more Took me seven years to let you go And they said You’d never come back for me And they said they never cared Please forgive us we have lost Cant find the light in time The wasted youth what could you do I’m sorry but we where all slaves here Spinning back in time We fight we lie we die inside A wasted youth What could you do but watch me fall So tell me I’m free before you go I never loved so I don’t know The sun will rise when you are gone I’d chase the stars around your universe Will you follow me to the end and watch the world burn Looking back in time you hide away from darkness But you whould never leave me So tell me I’m free before you go I never loved so I don’t know The sun will rise when you are gone I’d chase the stars around your universe So what did you come here for I’d break your bones before I let you hurt me more Did you come back for me Please Leave By mountains close to where we live They have seen shadows of your wind Things you have left to search for more Took me seven years to let you go Tell me I’m free before you go I never loved so I don’t know The sun will rise when you are gone I’d chase the stars around your universe

about

BESVÄRJELSEN – Swedish for “conjuring” – was forged in 2014. Though clearly rooted in the realms of doom, within their engulfing sound lies traces of progressive metal, punk, folk, and classic rock ‘n’ roll all carefully weaved together resulting in a sound that is at once crushingly heavy and alluringly sophisticated. The band released their debut EP Villfarelser in 2015 which was followed by 2016’s Exil EP. Both releases, though self-financed and released with little outside promotion, were well-received by Swedish media and even found airplay on Swedish National Radio.

Much of 2017 found BESVÄRJELSEN composing the the audio alchemy found on their ﬁrst full-length studio offering Vallmo (Swedish for “poppy”). Vallmo more than ever showcases the band’s enormous potential, the eight-track offering seamlessly wandering from crushing doom riffs to catchy vocals and melodies, deep lyrical content, and storming drum work, all topped by stunning guitar solos and, for the first time since the band’s formation, songs in English as well as their native Swedish.

I really enjoy this bands previous material and this is from the Post Wax release so I could muster this will be special like the Elder sessions. Check the bands BC page for a sample of what may be in store with this one. If you enjoy the groves and vocals of Holy Grove then you'll love this band. More English than previous work and a tad bit more psychedelic than I recall as well. The Midnight Toker.

Fell in love with this record, straight away I was hooked, the sound of the crunching guitars, electronic parts and the immaculate stunning voice. There's the doominess and the awesome rockin and rollin vibe that makes this album so great. Darknight
