Description
The Last Will and Testament is a concept record of sorts. A restless musical journey in a way mirroring my own relationship with music as a consumer of it, narrates band leader Mikael Åkerfeldt. I pick up something here, dismiss something there. I worship and I hate music at the same time. This ambivalence leads me down some type of creative path of my own and then, all of a sudden, a collection of songs has been written. Best case scenario, these songs are good enough to impress the band. Good enough for the powers that be in terms of the industry. Good enough for you?! I love this record. I have to say it (write it). Maybe Im proud even? There are some familiar ingredients in there I suppose. Most of our music has sprung from the same source, so I guess its not much of a shocker if its going to sound like us. Im a bit in awe of what we did with The Last Will and Testament. It feels like a dream. There is some coherence and songwriting skills I hope, but what do I know? I tend to favour the strange over the obvious, but I feel like Im in the minority, and thats fine. Sofair warning! Dont expect an instant rush (as per usual), but if you do get it (have you got it yet?) right away, thats ok too!
