Keeping consistent with the strident foundation laid forth by their debut EP, LIFVSLEDA's Det Besegrade Lifvet features nine tracks of wild, raw, and absolutely brilliant black metal in the vein of the early Nordic scene. Once again partly recorded out in the woods, in uttermost isolation, during the ongoing plague, you can truly feel the atmosphere of this album, and the stench of something old and rotten that has been dug up and resurrected. And despite it being the band's debut album, Det Besegrade Lifvet evinces an ancient wisdom, an archaic splendor wrought from turbulence and times of conflict - days when Black Metal didn't mean just posting photos of one's shiny, new record collection on social media. No, the members behind LIFVSLEDA have been involved in the real black metal scene, in one way or another and in various constellations, since its glorious beginning. Who they specifically are matters not; all that does and all that is real is the ripped 'n' ripping righteousness of Det Besegrade Lifvet
