about

Raw and feral black metal for a one-man-band hailing from the Southern reaches of Italy. Mixing in his sound both classic black metal influences and contemporary dungeon synth patterns, Lykten is a project which cannot go unnoticed. This release will be pressed in a limited amount of copies, in line with the labels politics. Grab a copy before it's too late. Do not miss out!

".. l’approccio ferale e fondamentalmente darkthroniano si unisce alle dolenti e sinistre melodie che fanno la loro sporadica ma efficace comparsa nel corpo dei pezzi e ad influenze riconducibili al dungeon synth, costituite in sostanza da brevi interludi o campionamenti, che hanno però il gran merito di esaltare l’atmosfera dal sapore medievale e vagamente folkeggiante che permea il disco e ne rappresenta senza dubbio il motivo di maggior interesse." [BlackMetalIstKrieg.net]

"Dietro questo progetto si cela la mente di Glaurung IV e come un abile intarsiatore lavora intrecciand black metal crudo e selvaggio a soluzioni di black metal classicheggianti sostenute da intervalli Dungeon Synth e sample moderni, il tutto corredato di quell'aria ancestrale e oscura - che caratterizza da moltissimi anni la scena black metal siciliana - con un occhio possente rivolto sempre a melodie ed atmosfere darkthroniane di sagace purezza e una discromica cura ai piccoli dettagli. Ho trovato questo EP un piccolo gioiellino tra tanti ascolti a volte troppo spesso pomposi e artefatti." [The Undergrounder - FB]

"The music is raw and impassioned, and is brutally harsh in places. However, the music also shows admirable restraint for such a new outfit; whereas the temptation might have been to unleash full savagery all of the time, the artist behind this band demonstrates a good understanding of atmosphere and mood. Dungeon synth elements can be heard, and the music makes good use of mournful melodies. I particularly like what some of the rhythm guitars get up to, and the malevolent vocals are well-performed. This is a solid introduction to Lykten. Let’s see where the artist goes from here." [wonderboxmetal.com]
