THE THIRD SLEEP

Originally born as a folk-rock duo, the Norwegian art/post-rock band formed in 2013 by four members. Now their new 2025 album, titled "The Third Sleep," is here!

Their previous work featured a post-rock sound with a somber tone and a clear yin-yang dynamism, with vocals directly expressing introspective emotions and a solid guitar and bass that issue a warning to society based on the human state of mind. This time, the theme is further developed, addressing social complacency and personal conflict.

While their previous work had an aggressiveness similar to that of progressive metal bands like Opeth and Anathema, the band was more impressed by its somber outlook, which delved increasingly into the inner world. This work is characterized by a poetic and extroverted narrative that openly expresses a critique of modern society. Based on post- rock with a cool, Scandinavian feel, the development and arrangements are eerily consistent, encompassing a wide range of genres, from electro and melodic rock to classical and alternative music.

This is a great work that evolves the band or makes it more compelling. Highly recommended.
