Fleurety
Min Tid Skal Komme

Unknown to most, the Norwegians Fleurety released this "Min Tid Skal Komme" for the English Aesthetic Death as a follow-up to the admirable and tempestuous demo "Black Snow".
The work in question was recorded at Panser studios in 1995 and consists of five lengthy tracks with a duration exceeding 40 minutes. Changing atmospheres reveal the duo's histrionic talent, capable of delighting us with dreamy acoustic textures and "punishing" us with guitar assaults typical of the first wave of Norwegian black.

"Fragmenter Av En Fortid" opens the album and is a clear example of all this: seductive progressive-rock settings, shamanic references to Northern European folk, cold and cruel guitar lines, alluring female voices, and a frenzied, hysterical, truly sick screaming.
"En Skikkelse I Horisonten" follows the same style but emphasizes the rhythmic aspect (bass and drums delight us with truly interesting ideas) and the progressive one. In some moments, it seems, in fact, as if facing Darkthrone engaged in filtering their wild black through funnels of folk-rock and tempestuous psychedelia.

Acts like Ved Buens Ende or In the Woods come to mind to make you understand.
The formula doesn't change in the following three tracks and tests the patience of the listener who is constantly disoriented... I particularly point out "Hvilelös?" where guest female Marian Aas Hansen warbles sad litanies, dueting with a whispered male singing.
It might bring to mind certain Satyricon of "Volcano" due to the similarity in pairing. The piece is enriched by an acoustic break of indescribable sweetness, a true and very deep romanticism.
It's impossible to delve into all the pieces birthed by Nordgaren and Hatlevik (more pages would be needed...), suffice it to say the final pieces increase the band's hysterical and unclassifiable aspect, overwhelming the nervous system of those who approach without due precautions.

A wonderful and fairy-tale-like album "Min Tid Skal Komme" is not, however, destined for a wide audience (fortunately) but for those who see music as a painful journey into the depths of the saddest thoughts.

Poetic and wild, Fleurety delivered to the Norwegian scene a diamond to be proud of.

Fantasy, talent, and uniqueness.
