Sabotage - Vedergällning - Sabotage 2014-2024
Nonkonform Media - CD -
Retribution is the title of complete discography of Swedish band Sabotage which is mapping their career between the years 2014 – 2024 and which is out on Nonkonform Media. This is really good news for those who haven´t got record player because almost all of their previously released stuff (except Faderskap I Gråzonen) was just EP´s or LP´s. On CD´s are together 26 songs and 25 are in Swedish (only one English song is When Odin Calls which is English version of Blå Linjen Blues). There are also three covers and two of them are translated from English to Swedish - Kanske Ljuset from Templars and Skitgata from The Rogues. Third one is Stolt och Stark from Ultima Thule. On CD´s are all songs since the first EP Betraktelser Från Staketet to the last one Alla Uppgifter Om Att Motståndet Skall Upphöra Är Falska. The band has really consistent sound through the years and their mother tongue really fits them well. Middle rhythm, nice vocals where you can hear everything, guitars with light booster and solos and playful bass (just check it on Stolt och Stark for example) and last but not least the lyrics which are openly critisizng nowadays society and who are not afraid to call the things with right name (even the mainstream society will not like it)….big thumbs up. Booklet has sixteen pages with all lyrics, many band photos, information about the albums and band ex-members and cheers to all friends, bands and zines (thanks for personal and zine shout ou boys)! I will not rate it because it is just complete discography but it got stuck in my player for quite a few days.
Sabotage - Urminnes Hävd
Nonkonform Media - LP -
Sabotage from Stockholm are playing for more than ten years and this is their debut full length album. They have already released 5 EP´s plut 2 splits with Codi de Silenci and No Heart. Their comolete discography will be reviewed soon. Album contains nine songs in Swedish (each has playtime more then 3 minutes and total playing time is around about 36 minutes) and the title can be translated like Ancient Memory (cover respects the album title – Valkyrie riding on griffin). Album is out on Nonkonform Media which has many interesting stuff in pipeline (like compilation Sverige I Brand or book about Swedish scene since 1980 for example). Compared to previous stuff you may hear classic piano (Lydig Slav – Obedient Slave), keyboards (first piece Bättre Sent Än Aldrig – Better Late Than Never or Jag är inte rädd – I am not Afraid) and saxophone (Färval och Tack – Farewell and Thanks). Robban is not playing guitar now but he just sings and from the first to the last tune of the album you will hear how he can work with his voice (just check Gryning – Dawn for all, which begins like acoustic ballad and which has perfect refrain and which is by the way the longest song from the LP). Sabotage plays with two guitars now and you will really hear and feel it just check solos in Jag är inte rädd, Under Attack, end of Tänder Inga Ljus (something with teeth and light :)) or Chiswick/rock´n´roll tunes Slödder (Riffraff) or the last one Som En Man (I´m Man) with light booster. Bass is also perfect and it can be clearly heard in all songs. Everything fits well together. Album will be out at the beginning of December 2024 so I don´t have details about the inside graphics and booklet but this is really top of the tops.
