SWITCHBLADE 'Switchblade [2016]'

[2016]"is the follow-up to Switchblade's Swedish Grammy Award nominated and critically acclaimed "[2012]" album. On "[2016]", the 7th album, the band has once again taken one step forward and two steps back with a slightly different approach to their minimalistic doom by turning up the tempo, adding more melodies and a lot more textures. In its nineteenth year of existence, Swedish band Switchblade is ready to unleash its brand new album [2016]. Core duo Tim Bertilsson (drums) and Johan Folkesson (guitars) once again teamed up with sound wizard Karl Daniel Lidén to create yet another 40 minute slab of their unique proggy doom. The album sees the return of both Johansson and Wiberg, with an even more remarkable result — those who appreciated [2012] will love [2016]. The new album is by no means just a repetition of a previously successful recipe. With its classic yet new take on the band’s trademark sound, [2016] will appeal also to those who enjoyed the band’s earlier work, as well as a brand new audience.
