SEVENTIES-OBSESSED SWEDES PROVE THEY’RE THE REEL THING

Sweden’s Dead Lord return with another feelgood, hard-rockin’, Thin Lizzy- and Kiss-fuelled late-70s proto-metal street fight, full of glorious hooks, catchy vocal lines and melting twin lead guitar action – a sound the band refer to as “timeless” and definitely not retro. After relentless touring and festival appearance­s since 2015’s Heads Held High, DL have sharpened their sound and stagecraft, enabling them to step up their dedication for their sacred levels of quality-control, 1976 authentici­ty. The band’s third full-length was recorded on analogue reel-to-reel in sunny Spain, and it’s full of heartfelt lyrics, hard-hitting proto-metal swagger and stomp as well as passionate balladry. Spirited and infectious­ly fun, In Ignorance… fully realises the band’s vision and is undoubtedl­y a true labour of love for all involved. The perfect soundtrack to a beer-drinking summer!
