Last Minute Lies / I Left The Planet

Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. ‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs’ & introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange & 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. Also included in this special release is the rare “I Left The Planet” project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark & poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal & percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende/Aura Noir.
