In the stinking dirt where the fallen idols of the nineties rest, larvae and seeds have appeared. They gave birth to a new creature. The corpse LIK! There's no one uglier word in Swedish than this "lik" - a corpse.

This decaying mass is a platter of spicy old school death metal with the characteristically rattling sound of a Boss HM-2 booster. Although we're talking about undead matter here, LIK's recipe has been, is and always will be to record as much as possible live so that the listener gets the same thing every time and doesn't feel the difference when listening. Simply to feel like you are at a concert or in a studio when spinning through the grooves of their released music.

Even though the quartet from Stockholm has only been around since 2014, they have quickly become one of the most respected and fast growing acts, which has certainly been helped by their contract with titans Metal Blade. The latter, after their successful debut, have released their second and third albums, which bring not only slow and bone-crushing tracks, but also fast and frantic ones. And although some members are active in the famed Bloodbath and atmospheric Katatonia, it's certain that on the Scandinavian battlefield LIK are among the most brutal weapons.
