Rated: ***

The two from Malmö, Sweden started this Saliga project to get rid of all the possible rules that they felt they had to follow in other bands, projects or perhaps society. That part is a bit unclear; but their goal when they set out on this adventure isn’t. It’s about pushing the boundaries and stepping over them with total disregard. But did they actually do that? Three instrumental tracks, recorded in their own build studio, meander through the free rock and psychedelic landscape. Very earthy tones seem to communicate with more spacey or spacious compositions giving off this air of perspicacity, turning everything around you on, making it all come alive. Like some electric gonzo dada magic they incorporate jazzy elements to evoke some weirdness before reverting back to the heavy dream do da they do so well. And that is definitely the magnetic power of Saliga on Förödelsetrilogin, their ability to hypnotize you with their slow moving reveries and the way they let the guitar whisk you away even if there is a heavy undercurrent of something slightly ominous surrounding you. Cause you know, it’s not always a good thing when everything around you comes alive. A living samurai with the wrong kind of disposition might just cut yer head clean off… So, being whisked away before that happens is a good day. And not breaking all the rules and actually just using most of the colors possible to paint twenty by twenty paintings on five by five canvasses might be better then disregarding them totally. We need to keep an eye on the two from Saliga, cause this is a first trilogy of trilogies in a trio of trilogies, and well, they’ve got some dangerous magical trickery in their arsenal…
