REIGNING PHOENIX MUS
Date of release: Nov 22 2024
'The Last Will and Testament' is a concept record of sorts. A restless musical journey in a way mirroring my own relationship with music as a consumer of it," narrates band leader Mikael Akerfeldt. "I pick up something here, dismiss something there. I worship and I hate music at the same time. This ambivalence leads me down some type of creative path of my own and then, all of a sudden, a collection of songs has been written.
Best case scenario, these songs are good enough to impress the band. Good enough for the 'powers that be' in terms of the industry. Good enough for 'you'?! I love this record. I have to say it (write it).
Maybe I’m proud even? There are some familiar ingredients in there I suppose. Most of our music has sprung from the same source, so I guess it’s not much of a shocker if it’s going to sound like 'us'. I’m a bit in awe of what we did with 'The Last Will and Testament'. It feels like a dream. There is some "coherence" and ' song-writing skills' I hope, but what do I know? I tend to favour the 'strange' over the 'obvious', but I feel like I’m in the minority, and that’s fine. So…fair warning! Don’t expect an instant rush (as per usual), but if you do 'get it' (have you got it yet?) right away, that’s ok too!"
