TRETTIOÅRIGA KRIGET ~ I BÖRJAN OCH SLUTET MELLOTRONEN 023 (Barcode: 7320470086247) ~ SWEDEN ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 2006 - 2007 Released: 2007 7th album by the legendary Swedish Prog band Trettioåriga KrigetFind albums by this artist (The Thirty Years War) and the 2nd recorded after the band reunited in 2002. All the original band members: Stefan FredinFind albums by this artist (bass & vocals), Dag LundquistFind albums by this artist (drums), Christer ÅkerbergFind albums by this artist (guitars), Robert ZimaFind albums by this artist (lead vocals) and Mats LindbergFind albums by this artist (keyboards) as well as the lyricist Olle ThörnvallFind albums by this artist take part in the recording. The music continues on a similar track established by the 1st reunion album (Elden Av ÅrFind albums with this title) and is in fact the 2nd part of a planned trilogy, similar to the trilogy that the band created on the first 3 albums recorded 30 years ago. The overall atmosphere of the album is more melancholic and laid back than the previous album, with strong bass lines and beautiful mellotron work painting the typical dark Scandinavian musical vistas. It’s obvious that the band has a lot of music left yet for us to enjoy. This music requires several listening sessions to sink in, but is full of beauty and profound musical pleasures. Considering that this band served once as an inspiration to a whole generation of Swedish Prog bands (LandberkFind albums by this artist, AnglagardFind albums by this artist, AnekdotenFind albums by this artist and others) one might hope that now they can inspire a whole new generation to follow, creating more of this wonderful music. This is a delightful and most warmly recommended album, which will stay with the listener forever.
