This riff-heavy cut, "Sjalv Alltid," comes from the debut LP of Second Sun, Hopp/Förtvivlan. Second Sun is the the folk-space rock outlet of Jakob Ljungberg, drummer of death metal band Tribulation.
The album evokes some fine hard rock psychedelic vibes, and pulls from a variety of influences including Steeleye Span, Nektar, Jethro Tull, Hawkwind and Graveyard. And don't worry English speakers...you're not tripping that hard, Ljungberg is in fact singing the entire album in his native Swedish tongue.
Let the riffing begin:
“He got a kidney infection, so he’s in hospital… That’s a bit of a drag, because he was going to be the lead guitarist”: The iconic charity rock song that missed out on its star guitarist due to illness – and why it could have sounded very different
“There are better players, better lyricists, better songwriters – but there’s an energy to their combined powers that is hard to rival at the moment”: The best guitar albums of 2024
