Love the sax solo on Miasma, album is really solid so far.

This may have been covered already, but does Tobias’ vocal phrasing remind anyone of Broadway-style vocals at times? To me it’s like he’ll throw a few more syllables than my ear would expect into the odd line, like he’s trying to fit a story into the song. Ex verse 3 of Pro Memoria... “Had you had the chance today, you would have sold out too” I brought my wife to their show once and she asked if he was theatre-trained, because of the way he moved on stage. Maybe that got me thinking about it.
I don't know why I have a hard time getting into this band, sometimes it seems like they're trying too hard to be OG or something. I think five years from now they'll have a really good greatest hits album, but each release seems to have a lot of fillers or just misses. I saw them live w/Mastodon and I did enjoy them live, also saw them at Aftershock and they were solid. Just not great I guess.
OK I like that better! Now I can like it.Well, I'm not swedish but the swedes I know wouldn't pronounce it that way.
It bothered me too at first but after listening a little closer to the lyrics, I've concluded that I think he is singing "bewitch you", which makes a bit more sense IMO![]()
Well there goes my theory about how Americans singI fully thought it was a QOTSA reference/influence popping up.
