WITH NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, \u0026amp; is known for pioneering an experimental \u0026amp; boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, \u0026amp; has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) \u0026amp; drummer\/vocalist Svein Egil “Zweizz” Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences and obscure\/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 \u0026amp; the ‘A Darker Shade of Evil’ 7” the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of ‘Min Tid Skal Komme’; an exquisite and revered journey through dark and often introspective soundscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department of Apocalyptic Affairs’, and introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange and bizarre. The result was a mind-bending (or expanding) voyage of eccentricity within the metal genre, presenting a new masterclass in avantgarde mood-setting in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlso included in this special release is the rare I Left the Panet project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark and poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal and percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende\/Aura Noir.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOn what is the 35th anniversary of the band’s formation, this edition of ‘Last Minute Lies\/I Left the Planet’ is presented on CD format including booklet with full lyrics, with audio specially remastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this release.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n1.
