LIFE - Life (1970-72 Sweden Hard Prog)


UM ÓTIMO VENENO SUÉCO CUJA SONORIDADE VARIA INCRIVELMENTE DO HARD ROCK COM ALTAS "JAMMING" PARA BELAS BALADAS MUITO BEM EXECUTADAS!! É BEM LEGAL MESMO!! É UM POWER TRIO INSPIRADO EM BANDAS COMO "TEAR GAS" E "LEAFHOUND" ELES EXPLORARAM MUITO BEM A FÓRMULA DE HARD ROCK COM ROCK PROGRESSIVO!! O ALBUM SAIU EM VERSÃO BILÍNGUE, OU SEJA, UMA VERSÃO NA LINGUA SUÉCA PARA CONSUMO INTERNO E OUTRA VERSÃO EM INGLÊS PARA O RESTO DO MUNDO!! VENENOS SUÉCO BOM E RECOMENDADO!!

A true heavy rock-masterpiece from Sweden. The music ranges from incredibly beautiful ballads to freaked out jamming.

Swedish band LIFE was founded in 1970 by Tomas Rydberg, Anders Nordh and Paul Sundlin, the latter two also know for their work in 60's band Trolls. Inspired by bands such as Tear Gas and Leafhound they explored a form of progressive hard rock, and produced one full length album in 1970 followed by two 7 inch singles in 1970 and 1971 respectively. Their album was actually issued in bilingual versions - one Swedish version for the home market and an English one for the buying audience in the rest of the world.

Life fell apart in 1972 though, for one reason or another. 34 years later Life reunited, initially to prepare for a jubilation concert. The new line-up consists of Sundlin and Nordh from the first run of the band, with Dan Ahlquist (guitars, vocals) and Fredrik Broquist (drums, vocals) as the new members. Life reported plans for releasing new music on their homepage in 2007, but as of 2010 these plans have yet to be fulfilled.
