Our Take
Our Take
In the vast landscape of metal music, where darkness and intensity often reign supreme, SKYBLOOD's debut album Skyblood is a welcome breath of fresh air. Fronted by former Candlemass singer Mats Levén, this project sees the seasoned musician stepping out from the shadows to deliver a truly unique and captivating experience.
From the opening track "Skyblood Manifesto," it is clear that this album is not your typical metal offering. With its lush orchestral arrangements, soaring vocals, and thunderous riffs, Skyblood takes listeners on a journey through the realms of both light and darkness. Tracks like "The Voice" and "Out of the Hollow" showcase Levén's powerful voice and knack for crafting infectious melodies, while "The Not Forgotten" and "King of the World" bring the heavy, headbanging riffs that metal fans crave.
But what truly sets Skyblood apart is its willingness to embrace the unexpected. From the haunting ballad "Wake Up to the Truth" to the epic closer "The Man Who Suffers," this album constantly surprises and delights with its twists and turns. Whether you're a die-hard metal fan or simply looking for something a bit different, Skyblood is a must-listen.
In a genre often defined by its darkness and aggression, SKYBLOOD dares to be different. With Skyblood, Mats Levén proves that there is beauty to be found in the chaos, and that sometimes, the most powerful moments can come from unexpected places. So put on your headphones, crank up the volume, and let Skyblood take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist
Skyblood
Hailing from the mystical land of Sweden, SKYBLOOD, the brainchild of Mats Leven, is a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy metal. With a career spanning over three decades, Leven has lent his powerful vocals to iconic bands such as Candlemass and Therion, solidifying his status as a powerhouse in the metal scene. SKYBLOOD's debut self-titled album is a sonic journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche, blending elements of traditional metal with a modern twist. Leven's haunting vocals soar over thunderous riffs and driving rhythms, creating an atmosphere that is both menacing and exhilarating. With tracks like "Out of the Hollow," "The Voice," and "Kaleidoscope," SKYBLOOD proves that Leven's talent knows no bounds. The album is a masterclass in storytelling, with each song painting a vivid picture of despair, redemption, and everything in between. But don't let the dark themes fool you - SKYBLOOD is not without its moments of levity. Tracks like "Solar Symphony" and "Skyblood Manifesto" showcase Leven's playful side, injecting a sense of fun and whimsy into an otherwise intense listening experience. In a genre that often takes itself too seriously, SKYBLOOD reminds us that metal can be both powerful and entertaining. With his latest project, Mats Leven proves that he is not just a seasoned veteran of the music industry - he is a true innovator, pushing the boundaries of what metal can be.
