The third album from this band from Norway.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, sitar and vocals.
Some guests helped out on guitars, viola, keyboards and vocals.
The band is such a highly rated band in both the metal and the prog rock scene. I was around the black metal scene in the 1990s and In The Woods was one of the bands back then. I never really got the chance to listen to their albums before now. So far, I have been deeply unimpressed by their debut and the follow up album Omnio.
Strange In Stereo is their third album. The music is a mix of goth rock, brooding Anathema like post-metal and psych rock. The music is pretty epic and floating symphonic at times. Symphonic gloomy goth rock.
The vocals is a mix of wailing female vocals and male vocals. The male vocals is slightly dissonant and mostly brooding.
The guitar sound is clearly stucked in time warp and pretty bad. The songs are all decent. The quality is simply not there. This is an album I would love to rate higher than this. Shame...
