Toroidh - In Memoriam Karl Ohlén

egocentris

Review by Imam Ghozali

The album In Memoriam Karl Ohlén by Toroidh is a poignant and emotional tribute to the late Swedish artist, who was a close friend and collaborator of the band. The album is a mix of dark ambient, industrial, and neoclassical music, with haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that evoke the sadness and loss of a great artist.

The album opens with the mournful and atmospheric track "Till Minne Av Karl Ohlén," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The music is somber and introspective, with slow, mournful melodies and haunting ambient textures. The use of field recordings and samples adds to the sense of atmosphere and creates a vivid sense of place.

Throughout the album, Toroidh explores different moods and emotions, from the melancholic "När Allt Var Som Vackrast" to the eerie and unsettling "Karl Ohlén's Sista Resa." The music is always evocative and powerful, with a sense of depth and meaning that goes beyond mere soundscapes.

About Toroidh

Toroidh is Henrik Nordvargr Björkk's martial industrial side project. Ceased to exist in date 23 January 2015 with this public announcement divulged by Henrik himself: "After almost 14 years of existence it is time to retire Toroidh. It has been a rough ride, but also a great one. Of all the musical projects I/we have been involved with, this must be the most misunderstood one. This is actually one of the reasons we are terminating it. We refuse to let the music become a vehicle of politics. We thought that naming the debutalbum Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it and calling the tracks Never again I-IX would be an indicator that the music was not glorifying any specific standpoint, but we were wrong. Let it be known once and for all that the music of Toroidh dealt mostly (but not exclusively) with the turmoil of Europe during the world wars, but it was intended as a soundtrack to the stupidity, wars and chaos  not a political standpoint.( With that said  we salute all of you who supported Toroidh over the years  labels, fans, promotors, radiostations and zines."
