“…staggeringly powerful…a sonic super-weapon, one that operates on multiple levels, inflicting both psychic and physical trauma on a shattering scale…” — No Clean Singing

LLNN burst onto the international scene with 2016’s critically acclaimed debut album Loss, a sheer display of, “absolute raging rawness,” as Terrorizer put it. But there is more to LLNN‘s sound than that. “The wavering drone synths that are effortlessly merged with a raw, hardcore-driven darkness define the subtle idiosyncratic nuances of LLNN‘s very unsubtle, painfully overwhelming sound (The Sludgelord).”
After a split EP with Los Angeles’ Wovoka in the summer of 2017, LLNN returns with their sophomore album, Deads, which evades all the pitfalls of the sophomore slump. LLNN has now perfected the amalgamation of the stringed instruments section (bass, guitar) with keys player Ketil Sejersen’s dominant ’80s sci-fi movie-esque synth layers, which are inspired as much by composers like Brad Fiedel, Vangalis, John Carpenter, and Stanley Kubrick, as much as by sci-fi/horror games like Silent Hill, Dead Space, Halo, and Limbo. “Some of the synth sounds on Deads consist of recordings from everyday sounds transformed into eerie soundscapes, for instance the sounds of boiling water,” drummer Rasmus G. Sejersen comments. “We wanted the soundscapes to be a persistent and dynamic underlay of sounds that influence the music’s core and soul throughout the entire album, together with all the riffs, rhythms, and vocals.”
“…a seven-minute slab of dense and sludgy intensity that falls somewhere between the soaring apocalypse metal of Neurosis and the visceral crust-punk of His Hero is Gone, with some avant garde noise and dark ambient moments sandwiched in between. It’s a work of white-knuckle intensity that moves at slow speeds, ensuring that none of the heaviness gets lost as they take on more experimental textures.” – Treble on “Armada”
“…a dense, suffocating track that builds and crashes, its buried vocals coming from under thick guitars and pounding drums…” – Decibel on “Appeaser”
