Within its pages, you'll find full lyrics and visuals that promise to captivate your senses, leaving you inescapably bound to the ground as Lifelover's music seduces and entwines with your mind.
In 2006, the world was introduced to "Pulver," Lifelover's debut album, a band that stood out like no other. Their unique musical expression in the realm of Black Metal caught the attention of countless listeners. This particular observer had been immersed in Black Metal for numerous years, and Lifelover's music was akin to a breath of fresh (albeit putrid) air. Upon hearing their music, a distinct sense of novelty and intrigue filled the room.
"Erotik," their subsequent release, seamlessly picks up where "Pulver" left off, elevating their already exceptional ideas to a new level of artistry. The observer notes a noticeable maturation in their work, with sharper song structures and lyrics that resonate deeply.
Describing Lifelover's music proves to be a challenging endeavor. It's as though one were to blend hints of Joy Division and The Cure, then pour this mixture into a cauldron brimming with gloom, depravity, and socially poignant lyrics. Clean vocals interweave with agonizing screams, underscoring the stranglehold that society has on individuals. Their themes encompass drugs, self-destruction, illness, and the existential struggle.
While Lifelover doesn't purport to hold all the answers, their delivery stands out as unmatched by any other band. "Erotik" is undoubtedly one of the most stellar and flawless works to grace the observer's auditory senses.
