Fans of Breach, The Old Wind, Cult Of Luna: sit back, have a drink and enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSÂVER \u003c\/strong\u003eis the new project of Ole Christian Helstad, Ole Ulvik Rokseth and Markus Støle of TOMBSTONES and HYMN. “\u003cem\u003eThe idea of starting SÂVER was a consequence of ending something\u003c\/em\u003e“, comments Helstad.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eIn the beginning it was a good mix of loss, in a way, and the excitement of a blanc canvas. In hindsight, we shared a feeling of longing for an escape, getting away from the known, and immersing ourselves into something completely different... which is scary and exciting at the same time. It mirrors the band both in a literary sense, as well as the general mood during the writing process.\u003c\/em\u003e“\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe band recorded the album in May 2018 in Norrköping, Sweden, while camping out in the Swedish woods nearby. Much like label mates LLNN or Briqueville, \u003cstrong\u003eSÂVER\u003c\/strong\u003e's sound is characterized by a strong component of apocalyptic synths and textural electronics hovering above the base of heavy guitars and bass – a mélange that works incredibly well, and has been becoming increasingly popular across the globe of heavy music lately.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile listening to „They Came With Sunlight“, it's surprising to learn that \u003cstrong\u003eSÂVER \u003c\/strong\u003eare a relatively new band. The album surely does not sound at all like a debut album: the transitions are too well-crafted, the pace and vibe too dense and consequent, and a great tranquility lies within or beneath the heaviness, something that is rarely accomplished by young bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut the members of \u003cstrong\u003eSAVER \u003c\/strong\u003ehave known each other for years, and have been active in the Oslo underground music scene in various bands... some of them made it to Roadburn and Psycho Las Vegas (Tombstones), while others toured squats and small venues across Europe, all of them contributed to their member's experience and the serenity which SAVER exudes. Helstad has even created his own boutique music festival in Oslo called Høstsabbat, with bands like Amen Ra, Asteroid, Toner Low on the 2018 bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e„\u003cem\u003eA lot of the lyrics are centred around the idea of leaving this world behind, towards something undefined\u003c\/em\u003e“, Helstad explains. „\u003cem\u003eWhich makes the eternity of cosmos an inevitable image in the viewfinder.
