Sjukdom by Lifelover
B's legacy and the most extreme swansong of 2011
Lifelover's fourth and last album "Sjukdom" (English: disease) is a dark and challenging record. Following their critical acclaim-afforded and cathartic "Konkurs" in 2008, these elusive and mysterious misanthropes venture down an even more daring path with "Sjukdom" where the extremes of the characteristically idiosyncratic Lifelover sound are pushed to their utmost limit: the bittersweet melodies become more beautiful whilst the pulsing, coal-black heaviness becomes uglier. After the tragic death of B in September 2011, this is Lifelover's final studio album.

This group is widely regarded as a trailblazer for a movement that takes Black Metal as a starting point to experiment with other styles, thus creating an extreme, but unconventionally new kind of music. Lifelover enriched their raw sound with elements from Wave Rock and Post Punk and kept impressing with their unique mixture of punk-like heaviness and lovely melodies.
