Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kalandra-a-frame-of-mind-things-you-might-have-missed-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kalandra – A Frame of Mind [Things You Might Have Missed 2024]</a></p><p><i>By sentynel</i></p><p>Before festivals, I like to listen to at least a song or two for every band on the lineup I don’t know so I can optimize my schedule.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kalandra-a-frame-of-mind-things-you-might-have-missed-2024/#fn-208628-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> When <strong>Kalandra</strong> came up as I prepared for ATG, I had to force myself to stop listening and move to the next band. “Folk/prog rock, really good, definitely see,” I wrote. This was an understatement. Their set was fantastic. Some bands just have <em>presence</em>. Through some combination of writing, musicianship, and the way they move, they step out onto the stage and everybody is immediately captivated. <strong>Kalandra</strong> is one of them. From their opening notes, they conjure something spellbinding… and then Katrine Stenbekk sings, and the results are something else.</p><p>Folk/prog rock is indeed the basis on <em>A Frame of Mind</em>. Acoustic guitars and strings play Nordic folk-inflected melodies. Electric guitars, distorted but rarely harsh, come in for the swells and crescendos. The instrumentation alone is great. The composition is consistently stellar. The use of, and transitions between, sparse and heavy movements are deft and surprising. Every song is beautiful and atmospheric. (Just bathe in the interlude track “Hytta,” for example.) But the real standout is the vocals. Katrine Stenbekk is incredibly charismatic and emotive. She flows from fragile to powerful, warm and folky to cutting, often within a single song. Live, she’s even better, as she’s also a great performer. This isn’t to say this is a one-woman show; her voice ebbs and flows with the instruments. Little musical twists reflect and reinforce the lyrics and stick in your mind.</p><p></p><p><em>A Frame of Mind</em> tackles some heavy themes with an openness and occasionally bluntness that recalls <strong>GGGOLDDD</strong>, and this is a major contributor to its success. Opening track “I Am” is about generational trauma. “Are You Ready?” is a wonderfully creepy song about cult recruiting. The different perspectives are woven subtly through the music, and I adore how the song shifts as the narrator gets drawn in. “I Remember a Time” and “The State of the World” discuss, well, the state of the world, with a level of self-awareness that lands what’s ultimately a naively hopeful message in a bleak place. “Bardaginn” is perhaps the most straightforward, and heaviest, song on the record, with a great groove. It’s also written in Old Norse (helpfully with an official translation provided), about fighting on when it’s hopeless. It’s rare that I particularly care about the lyrics on a record, and it’s the interesting subjects combined with composition that actually works with the lyrics that pull me in here.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kalandra</strong> are one of those bands where I wonder how I didn’t discover them earlier. Everything about them appeals to me, and their prior album <a href="https://kalandra.bandcamp.com/album/the-line" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>The Line</em></a> is also brilliant but had entirely passed me by. Fortunately, those of you who had also missed <strong>Kalandra</strong> need do so no longer. I cannot recommend <em>A Frame of Mind</em> enough. Clever writing, gorgeous atmosphere, moving themes, and the year’s best vocal performance make for a fantastic album.</p><p><strong>Tracks to Check Out</strong>: “Are You Ready?,” “Bardaginn,” “The State of the World,” “I Am”</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/a-frame-of-mind/" target="_blank">#AFrameOfMind</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/folk-rock/" target="_blank">#FolkRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gggolddd/" target="_blank">#GGGOLDDD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kalandra/" target="_blank">#Kalandra</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/norwegian-metal/" target="_blank">#NorwegianMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progressive-rock/" target="_blank">#ProgressiveRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/things-you-might-have-missed-2024/" target="_blank">#ThingsYouMightHaveMissed2024</a></p>
1001 Other Albums<p>As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 54 on <a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The List</a>, submitted by mbr.</p><p>Before working on this spotlight, I was aware of GGGOLDDD’s 2022 brave and difficult** album <em><a href="https://gggolddd.bandcamp.com/album/this-shame-should-not-be-mine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Shame Should Not Be Mine</a></em>, which was written as a commissioned piece for the 2021 online version of Roadburn (with the <a href="https://gggolddd.bandcamp.com/album/this-shame-should-not-be-mine-live-at-roadburn-redux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">live album</a> then released the same day as the studio version). What I think I missed though was that somewhere around <em>TSSNBM</em>, GOLD changed their name to GGGOLDDD, meaning <em>Why Aren’t You Laughing?</em> is from the very same band.</p><p>Given the heavy lyrics of <em>TSSNBM</em>, I would definitely recommend starting with <em>WAYL?</em> first. It’s a really interesting mix of gothic-tinged post-rock/-metal with great vocals from Milena Eva that give off some Kristin Hersh vibes, some <a href="https://wearebrutus.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-ghent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Brutus</a> vibes, and even some Aurora vibes (especially in “Taken By Storm”). If you’re then hooked and are in a good place, give <em>TSSNBM</em> a spin. </p><ul><li><a href="https://gggolddd.bandcamp.com/album/why-arent-you-laughing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp: GOLD – <em>Why Aren’t You Laughing?</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/1527107-GOLD-Why-Arent-You-Laughing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Discogs: GOLD – <em>Why Aren’t You Laughing?</em></a></li></ul><p class="">*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “Turned away from it all like a blind man”, “Sat on the fence but it don’t work”, “Keep comin up with love but it’s so slashed &amp; torn”, and “Why, why, why?”, following the earlier survey that had “It’s the terror of knowing what this world’s about”, “Watching some good friends screaming, ‘Let me out’”, “Pray tomorrow gets me higher”, and “Pressure on people, people on streets”. The last phrase was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the first album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being, obviously, “why”.<br>**The lyrics of <em>TSSNBM</em> were written by singer Eva about when she was raped as a teenager, and her trauma around that situation.</p><p><a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/2024/09/13/gold-why-arent-you-laughing-2019-netherlands/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://1001otheralbums.com/2024/09/13/gold-why-arent-you-laughing-2019-netherlands/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/1001otheralbums/" target="_blank">#1001OtherAlbums</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/2010s/" target="_blank">#2010s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/gggolddd/" target="_blank">#GGGOLDDD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/goth-rock/" target="_blank">#gothRock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/netherlands/" target="_blank">#Netherlands</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/postmetal/" target="_blank">#postmetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/postrock/" target="_blank">#postrock</a></p>
dancing in dystopia<p>FCUK, europejska trasa Lingua Ignota właśnie została odwołana. Z powodów zdrowotnych - trzymam kciuki za szybką rekonwalescencję, i nie pisze tak tylko z fanowskiego egoizmu! Co nie zmienia faktu, że od razu dzień gorszy :( </p><p>Przynajmniej GGGOLDDD wczoraj zobaczyłam i było super - o ile można tak mówić w przypadku setu, który w 80% był o doświadczeniu gwałtu... Ale zespół wypadł super, brzmienie super, Milena jest absolutnie hipnotyzująca i w ogóle wow, było słychać słowa piosenek! To wcale nie jest oczywiste na koncertach, na których bywam, więc szacun za realizację dźwiękową.</p><p><a href="https://pol.social/tags/muzyka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>muzyka</span></a> <a href="https://pol.social/tags/LinguaIgnota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinguaIgnota</span></a> <a href="https://pol.social/tags/GGGOLDDD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GGGOLDDD</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/postpunk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>postpunk</span></a></span></p>
