A CANOROUS QUINTET – silence of the world beyond LP blue

180g, blue vinyl, black paper innersleeve, 8 page 12″LP sized booklet on thick paper stock. Remastered.

Since its initial release almost 30 years ago the debut full-length of Stockholm’s A CANOROUS QUINTET has – despite at times remaining an insider in shadow of the bigger names of the style – rightfully garnered a cult following as quintessential paragon of Swedish Death Metal. Still, every spin captures, urges, torches the listener with its exceptional songwriting excellence, its creative power and furious ambitiousness. Its visions and stories are told by harsh, ice-cold vocals and captivating songs that flawlessly roam between raging outbursts of aggression, relentlessly driven forward by Fredrik Andersson’s powerful drums, and melancholic passages of wintery nocturnal beauty, dwelling deeply in dreamlike fantasies. Recorded in December 1995 all is clothed in a masterful display of the old Abyss Studio sound, with Peter Tägtgren also being present as guest vocalist on the track „Spellbound“.
