When it comes to bands exploring the sounds of yesteryear, Sweden has become quite the supplier of those. Abramis Brama are among the veterans in this movement, and with Smakar Sôndag they have issued a strong effort.

Heavy riffs, relatively simplistic in execution, is the mainstay of these ventures. Black Sabbath comes across as an obvious inspiration, in particular on the heaviest efforts here, but nods in the direction of acts like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are just as easily found.

No big surprises in the tune department here either - perhaps apart from the piece Med Ont Försät, a 10 minute number with lots of shifts in style, and the gentle ballad N.E.J.

A strong album courtesy of Abramis Brama, and one that should appeal to many vans of vintage hard rock and metal.
