Grift (Sweden): “Arvet”

​I have written about Grift on other occasions, and regular readers (if any) know how I value this Swedish band. The new album Arvet deals with what makes us what we are, what we inherit from every point of view, not only material, but also cultural and social. Arvet is actually a Swedish word that means inheritance. Mastermind Erik Gärdefors has created another chapter of his art inspired by his native region, Västergötland. He never repeats himself, and his works are always different. Compared to previous albums, Arvet is perhaps less straightforward, but more introspective and equally intense, poetic and profound. Masterpiece.
