Description/Reviews: 

 I would describe them as a fusion of alternative rock, heavy prog, and maybe a little post rock influence.  If I were to put that into band influences, I’d point to the dreamy atmosphere of Katatonia, the steely edge of Porcupine Tree, and the raw distortion of 00’s alternative rock.  You might even catch some Anathema in there, too.  Now, I’m not saying they are influenced by those bands.  I actually have no idea who has influenced them.  But those are the familiar sounds I hear in their music.

Description/Reviews: 

With two albums under their belt, their music stretches from progressive rock & ambient to Mediterranean with a traditional eastern flair (give attention to the sound of the traditional instrument "Santur"). This time, the band's themes play with every knowledgeable form in an attempt to escape from the human gaze itself. Music-wise the experimental and electronic element replaces the electric effusions of their previous work.

Description/Reviews: 

...what we have here are genuine mainstream contenders. It’s not even a ‘grower’- from the first spin this album is instantly, gob-smackingly, impressive.
Opening track ‘Mountain Heart’ may be the most mountainous piece of music ever written; it opens with all the pomp and grandeur of Leslie West’s Mountain, jagged keys and stratospheric guitar soloing, and then once the massed vocals erupt the left field retooling of classic rock perfected by early Black Mountain is called to mind…and the songs called, well, you get it. As a showcase for the bands sound it’s well chosen, the sweet soulful surge of voices and the swirling Hammond cause an uplift of your spirits which is maintained across the length of the album, despite many darker moments. I’m going to stick my neck out and say it’s the best opening number on an album I’ve heard this year.

pg.lost "Versus"

Country: Sweden
Genre(s): Instrumental Atmospheric Post Rock/Metal
Label: Pelagic Records
Format: CD, digital, vinyl

3. Monolith (6:52)
4. Versus (8:07)
5. Deserter (6:56)

7. A Final Vision (8:33)

Total time 53:12

Line-up: 
Mattias Bhatt - Guitar
Martin Hjertstedt - Drums
Gustav Almberg - Guitar
Kristian Karlsson - Bass

Description/Reviews: 

The album title „Versus“ emerged out of a song idea, that consisted of two very different and contrasting ideas, which were never planned to be one song, but ended up complementing each other. Versus doesn't necessarily describe a relationship between irreconcilable entities, the band explain.
Whilst some elements of the album will be familiar to pg.lost fans, there are some distinct differences to previous releases. The effect-saturated vocals, which were a trademark on previous pg.lost releases, have disappeared on „Versus“, and given way to more keys and synths. Their sound is throbbing with great melancholy, but there is also an element of dirty rock n' roll thrown in, as demonstrated in the crushingly heavy closing section of monumental opening track „Ikaros“, in the distorted bass line kicking off the second track of the album, „Off The Beaten Path“, or in the huge roomy drum sound throughout the record.

Everything from 70s hard rock to psychedelia and further on to jazz-like elements have been thrown into the mix in a well-executed manner, and "Contrapasso» is both captivating and intriguing as a result thereof. The dramatic vocals are also more convincing than the last time around.
