Then again, Kent has been seen as "the swedish coldplay" although I will always be ready to point out the differences between the two.

that Kent is only slightly less boring and actually plays two songs instead of one?

Nah, Kent started as basic pop/rock, the first album was quite shitty, had a bit blink 182 vibe to it that ruined half the album while the other better half had some The Cure influences going on. The later albums started to have some post-rock influences in terms of songwritting and overall feeling of climax in the songs. In the notes from my re-release version of Brave Murder Day, Jonas said that they were heavily inspired by Kent's second album in terms of songwritting as well. Some Kent songs have for me the same urban sadness from albums like Viva Emptiness, they just don't have the metal part of the equation.
The last couple of albums are mainly electronica but still having that melancolic feeling the whole time.
Last but not least, Kent is superior musically speaking and actually far darker and more depressive than Coldplay which is a band I always found "happy" despite what everybody told me. That's why I see more Kent in Lifelover than Coldplay. Coldplay is far more well known though so that's why they are usually the band Lifelover is compared to.

I am not trolling. I really do regard Lifelover as a bm version of Coldplay and am glad the band called it quits.

Yes, Marcel.
Everybody and their moms know already your opinion about Lifelover yet you think we all have some friggin amnesia or something and you just keep saying that. A couple of years from now you will STILL say the same stuff over and over again That's trolling in my books.
Harmless trolling, but still trolling.

I was just about to see them on the fuckin' 24th and then B died, god damn it! That fuckin' amateur...

Heard they're pretty shitty live though. Hypothermia was ugh... definitely a failure live...

Lifelover fans should definitely check out Psychonaut 4.



You can read up on their demo, 40%, over here.

Very life lover

Damn, very shocked they disbanded, too young and too rich, unique... I hope the reason of B death will be found out soon.

Drugs, dude, what else could possibly be the reason? The guy either overdosed or his body just gave up.

And yeah, I do think they ended on a high note. Their newest album is their best in my books, you can read about it in mah review. [/shameless whoring self-promoting]

Oh that could be he dies from the thing make him great with the band...

I love all of their albums though the last one with the Led By Misfortune is nice lyric in English. I always find it hard where to translate their lyric...

Wow, Psychonaut 4 is really nice... love that kind of stuff (6:20 onwards of first song is brilliant )

For Sjukdom, I was first a little bit reluctant... was much more "heavy" than previous ones and too long. But after listening it more it's just as fucked up as the rest (I'd take out 2 or 3 songs for adequate length).

Lifelover sucks in my opinion. That's all I have to say about that.

Ok, you're done with your scheduled comment about Alcest and Lifelover. Now leave and come back tomorrow.

According to their facebook, they have some old unreleased material and are writting new stuff aswell. However they will continue under another name.

Some nice news it seems.

Psyched about their new project/band "Kall". Hopefully it will not be just a Lifelover copy, but something new with those influences. Although I honestly wouldn't mind a Lifelover copy either...

This is not okay, but I can see why you don't like it.

I have started a new series of answering different questions from comments on my YouTube channel. More videos are planned both solo and a few with Johan/1853. If you have any questions or wonder about anything Lifelover related please let me know in the comments either at this video or in this post and I will feature them in the next videos. Thanks to all for watching, listening and supporting over the years and keeping the legacy of B and Lifelover alive! Hugs, Kim / ( )
