After some years of focusing on several other projects, Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie) and Tor-Helge Skei (Manes, Manii, etc) are back with the 3rd Lethe album. “Alienation” is a continuation of the special soundscapes of Lethe, while also testing new territories. Taking their name from one of the five rivers in Hades in Greek mythology, the Swiss/Norwegian duo formed in 2012 as a home for Anna and Tor-Helge’s musical and artistic experiments - and right from the beginning, the main rule has been that there are no rules, no expectations, no compromises. The band has been categorized as a lot of things, i.e. genre-bending, style-bastardization, eclectic, and just plain weird, but even if experimentalism and fuck-all-rules is an important factor, the band is not afraid to incorporate melody and catchiness into the music. Lethe is something unique, something personal and quite different. The result is a melting pot of dark rock, pop, electronic, experimentation and metal, filled with a cold and harsh atmosphere, beautiful melodies and mesmerizing grooves. “Alienation” is about being outsiders, outcasts, and alienated in various forms, mentally, physically, ideologic(ally) and musically. Expect the unexpected!
