Four years on the books since 2020’s <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/bedsore-hypnagogic-hallucinations-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hypnagogic Hallucinations</a>, about which Ferrous Bueller proclaimed that Bedsore aimed “to be as creative as possible within the band’s preferred scope,” these Italian metal history buffs have returned not simply to their ’90s death metal-inspired roots. Trading logo-adorned garments and pit-tussled hair for amber-tinted shades and pressed, patterned shirts—buttoned enough to allow the tease of a scruffy chest—the Bedsore troupe has turned over not to expose a pustular dorsum but rather an ashen mound of patchouli and burnt flower. Though never absent of psychedelic leanings and progressive tendencies, Bedsore’s prior efforts still appeared death metal first. And now? The hippification is real.Alas, dreams infect life with ambition. And in Bedsore’s grandest vision yet, they’ve attempted to interpret the classic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnerotomachia_Poliphili" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Italian tale</a> that shares a name, loosely, with this sophomore effort. Given the literary source’s mixed-language origins dating back to the 15th century, Dreaming the Strife for Love requires Bedsore’s new capital “P” prog attitude to even attempt to capture the necessary fantastical grandeur. While Hypnagogic Hallucinations foreshadowed the extended exploration of smoky room jam sessions through twangy amp tones and doom-weighted atmosphere, Dreaming unleashes the full fury of Italian drama through synths, synths, and more synths. Though not quite as horror-toned as their influential countrymen Goblin, the urge to drive with earmarked leads, fluttering segues, and occult camp holds strong in the halls that Bedsore has built with Dreaming.All these new layers in the Bedsore identity arrive with intention, with unique timbres adding world-building motifs to what will appear, at first, a dense soundscape. In a long-standing prog tradition, Bedsore uses the drawn-out intro of “Minerva’s Obilesque” and first riff-based track “Scars of Light” both to pay homage to great works, like King Crimson’s Red or an Ennio Morricone score, and to introduce a few primary motifs that later tracks explore. And while that dedication to exposition covers a dutiful twelve-minute stretch, its worming characters, as promised, return in dramatic union (“A Colossus, an Elephant, a Winged Horse, the Dragon Rendezvous”) and vibrant swells (“Fanfare for a Heartfelt Love”). And though side A conclusion “A Colossus…” finds part of its footing in established pointers, it too finds a personification of its main players in low synth stomp (Colossus), wailing saxophone (Elephant), playful organ bursts (Winged Horse), and a Zappa-esque guitar squeal (Dragon), all of which come together in a swirling coda. It can be exhausting attenuating the onslaught of constructed sounds, but Dreaming’s colors unfold to those who can.The total spectrum of sound through Dreaming appears lush at first and even tenth swipe, but its squashing of the mic renders one of its most dynamic elements flat. Dialed Mellotron refrains and delicate cymbal brushes remain bright and focal enough so that the hop to space or slide to calm never feel out of place—Davide Itri’s drum performance throughout shows a mastery of moody tom tumbles and malleted rolls, if a touch light in kick. But in the splendor of these bright intrusions, these marching and booming rhythms, and a lead guitar tone that just won’t quit, Jacopo Gianmaria Pepe’s blackened wail fades in and out of the mix, not for psychedelia’s sake either. As one of the few elements that keeps Bedsore’s toes in deathly waters, these shrieks and howls also can add weight to flighty ventures into Hawkwind patch overload or guitar-saxophone histrionic duels. Instead, and likely intentionally, they dissipate in the haze of instrumental experimentation.Ever entrenched in cinema, the unique and Italian expression that Bedsore uses to build its prog poses a challenge to the extremity that persists in bursts. Yet, despite the complexity and labyrinthian storytelling that encompasses the Dreaming the Strife for Love experience, Bedsore maintains an effortless flair about every nook and cranny of this deeply planned affair. A band’s continued dive into progressive waters can often feel unnatural or clunky. But tight as the flared trousers that adorn the heroes of Bedsore’s ’70s reimagination, Dreaming in execution leaves little wonder that it could have been anything else. As a surreal tale with an eerie and open-ended conclusion, this sophomore endeavor has set the stage for Bedsore not to fester but bloom.

Angry Metal Guy<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tyr-battle-ballads-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Týr – Battle Ballads Review</a>By Steel DruhmThe Fisher Kings of Faroian metal are back and on the hunt once more with ninth album Battle Ballads, and all is right in the metalverse. Ever since these lads put the tiny Faroe Islands on the map way back in 2002 with their How Far to Asgaard debut they’ve been highly reliable purveyors of a unique blend of trad/folk/Viking metal that has no peer. 2019’s Hel provided highly entertaining and classy tales of swords and shields and I wanted more almost immediately. After a 4 year wait we finally get more from Týr. And the sound remains the same. They’re still the stewards of a unique style and that special blueprint has proven surprisingly durable, sounding fresh on album after album. The good news is, it still sounds that way. But can they keep their win streak going for yet another release?The short answer is yes, though Battle Ballads isn’t quite as gobsmacking as their past works. That “it” factor that makes Týr special is still present and accounted for and there are several absolute bangers here that will thrill old fans and earn them new ones. Their kinda-sorta Ensiferum-esque style still cracks skulls, as opener “Hammered” demonstrates forcefully. This one has everything I love about Týr boiled down into one massive dose of awesomeness and it’s a great example of everything they do right, sounding like a more jovial Amon Amarth. It’s aggressive and epic with an urgent gallop driven by riffs heavy enough to leave an impression, and it’s so fooking catchy! Heri Joensen’s one-of-a-kind vocals seal the deal with a cool factor that can’t easily be defined and the chorus is V-money. Give me an album of cuts this badass and I could start writing my Record o’ the Year piece right now. “Dragons Never Die” is another stomping monster with that classic Týr sound as vibrant and effective as ever. The hooks flow like mead and the Viking ethos roars from the ever-catchy riffs and vocal harmonies. “Row” keeps the longboat moving through the waves with aggressive, rowdy energy and another winning chorus.The second half of Battle Ballads has its moments but isn’t as stacked with killers. More restrained folksy pieces like “Torkils Døtur” and “Vælkomnir Føroyingar” are good but not great, and closer “Causa Latronum Normannorum” is a bit sleepy and uneventful. That said, rabble-rousing tracks like “Hangman” and “Axes” keep things from going too far down the folk hole and turning things into a Korpiklaani-fest. Battle Ballads blasts by in a flash and flows quite well. Its 41-plus minutes feel very accessible and most songs get in, give you the axe, and storm out all within 3-4 minutes. The production is big, bold, and clear without sounding too clean, allowing you to hear everything going on.As with all Tyr platters, the big attraction are the vocals by Heri Joensen. He’s the rare frontman who sounds like no one else. His croons and bellows are the near-perfect blend of metal and folk and he injects a lot of passion and feeling into his vocals without having to overdo things. He’s just a special kind of frontman and he makes Týr stand apart. He and Hans Hammer serve up stirring riffs and harmonies aplenty, blending traditional metal ideas with folk and shades of Viking metal. There’s even a slight blackened edge appearing at times. Their playing creates a unique sonic tapestry that’s epic, majestic, and mighty, interlaced with folksy charm from their corner of the world.Týr continue to do their own unique thing and the results continue to impress. I prefer Hel to Battle Ballads by a small margin but there’s still a lot to love here. Even the songs I don’t completely adore are quite good, and the best tracks strike hard and show no mercy. In a time when so many bands sound interchangeable, Týr continues down their own path and they should be respected for that, especially when their output is this consistent and fun. If you haven’t spent time with Týr yet, you’re a coward and a knave. Get your fishing rod and get with these bass masters ASAP.
