Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects

Sol Niger Within Version 3.33

Relapse

My mother told me when I was very young that there is no way to conceive of something completely new, since everything new is just a rearrangement of concepts or objects already existing. That doesn’t help me; this CD must have fallen out of a wormhole. I find it hard to believe that people from this planet made this. To quote Devin Townsend for the last time, “Oh, My Fucking God.” Someone tell me I haven’t lost my mind here. I cannot explain how awesome and alien this band is. To quote D. Boon for the last time, “I’m fucking overwhelmed!”
