The Candlemass and Krux mastermind Leif Edling has always been unique in his songwriting, and his first solo album ”Songs of Torment – Songs of Joy” is of course no exception.
The album concists of 8 monumental tracks, something Leif Edling calls minimalistic organ doom. It’s slow and beautiful, but also black and epic like the album opener ”The Scar”, and the colossal ”It is not there”. ”Nautilus” is inspired by the Jules Verna classic ”
And ”On the edge of time” is a poetic reflection over some old but fantastic Hawkwind album cover art.
”Songs of Torment – Songs of Joy” is a powerful experience that definately will make you lose your breath and crave for more!!
