NEXT LIFE
THE LOST AGE
FYSISK FORMAT
RATING: 10/10
After releasing their highly critically acclaimed debut called “Electric Violence” in 2006 the Norwegian Electronica Metal Duo called Next Life worked hard on the road and in their studio, shifting the gears like a crazy racer.
You know it’s always hard for an artist when his debut was such a bomb… what comes next? Repeating the first again? Ride on the wave of success and sell the old idea again as new?
Next Life learned their lesson well, by file out the concept behind their music and coevally walks new paths with their new album called “The Lost Age”.
Their intelligent combination of Electronica with a wide range of Rock and Metal music is been pushed to the limit with these sixteen impressive tracks. The tracks of “The Lost Age” aren’t so… don’t get me wrong when I say, brutal or brachial like the ones of its forerunner. They captivate with their complex structures and their intelligent arrangements. Partly the tracks have a kind of Jazzy – Krautrock attitude. This is music for people how like to sweat and think what they consume! A celebration of high-class musicality and ass-kicking sounds.
A must have album.
