Lik was mainly a side project for Armagedda member and malevolent woodland entity, Graav. Nothing Armagedda ever did really caught my ear, but when Lik came to be, it was like the band I had been waiting for for years. Not exactly Black Metal, but rather an otherworldly concoction of despondent Death Rock and lo-fi drunk Vikings. Imagine Christian Death meets Isengard. Clean tone guitars shimmer over clumsy, ham-fisted drums, and Graav's regal Swedish vocals round out the weirdness perfectly. Ma Ljuset Aldrig Na Oss Mer was Lik's debut, and it is a perfect album for drinking alone.

this is a cool/ weird album, when did it come out?
"imagine Christian Death meets Isengard." I imagine that all the time.
Moz, it was released on LP and CD in 2003.
I'm at work recovering from the flu, and this album made my day. Thanks.
"clumsy, ham fisted drums" make my ears smile..
Thanks!!!
Creepy old-school goth rock. Thanks!!!!
Wow, no love for Armagedda's 'Ond Spiritism?' I'm surprised. I enjoy Lik, but that album is definitely where it's at. Graav sounds so fucking spiteful.
Oh well, different strokes...
Yeah, LIK was a very interesting band. I also recommend Lönndom, a sort of a continuation to LIK, with the same members.
Glorious. Just what I need.
You had me at Christian Death meets Isengard.
Great combination, like a cold, damp, reese's buttercup.
Any chance you could re-up as MP3 instead of MP4
Good stuff as usual, I have heard Armageddas amazing sideproject Lönndom, but never really heard Lik.. Thanks!
Reminds me a bit of Lifelover in the weird black/rock approach to the music, but not in the "Lifelover stole Lik's sound" way...
been enjoying this the past few days.
thanks...
