Lifelover

Ok kids, so here's a genre that exists: depressive suicidal black metal, or DSBM; yeh, read that one again.  Was black metal already depressing enough for the completely-backwardsly-named Swedish band Lifelover?  No!  We also need to wear masks and shriek about hopelessness while we play ambient metal.  As if that isn't sad enough, the guys managed to make four actually-pretty-good-if-you-dig-listening-to-metal-in-the-dark-while-contemplating-sacrificing-your-wrist-integrity-to-Satan albums before the primary songwriter died of a prescription drug overdose - in his sleep.  Which, now that I think about it, sounds like a peaceful way to go.  Now, wait, don't run away - somehow, the tracks are not all that depressing; they're cool, don't really sound anything like black metal, and a lot of 'em kinda rock.  Which, if the band was going for depressing, is kind of depressing.  Oh, the humanity!  It's Lifelover - CRANK IT!
