Limited Edition Double Vinyl. The Norwegian guitar and synthesizer duo Solefald (Cornelius Jakhelln and Lazare Nedland) were formed as yet another Norwegian black-metal project. Given the school's precedents, "The Linear Scaffold" (1997) was mostly irrelevant, and would remain their 'heaviest' album. However, "Neonism" (1999) began to steer towards brainy compositions and philosophical lyrics, that eventually led to the increasing complexity and technical exhibitionism of "Pills Against the Ageless Ills" (2001), possibly their apex, and "In Harmonia Universali" (2003), works that evoke King Crimson's and YES' progressive-rock. The quality of the band's music continues to evolve on "Red for Fire", and is sure to a set new precedence in the extreme music realm.

Review

...non traditional take on metal and progressive tendencies that comes across like Enslaved meeting Arcturus at a Viking attire only poetry reading. But in my books that's a pretty exclusive and brilliant club. - 5/5
