Godsend
There were at least two metal bands named Godsend over the years,
one a short-termed project featuring former
Sabbat
guitarist Andy Sneap,
and this one, basically a solo project for Swedish guitarist
Gunder Dragsten.
He recruited
Dan Swanö and Benny Larsson from
Edge Of Sanity
for the first album, recruiting an entire different
lineup for
In The Electric Mist,
and then returning to Swanö and friends for the third album
(the only album reviewed here).
A Wayfarer's Tears is classic Swedish doom, a la early
Candlemass
with a clear production (the razor-sharp guitars
are especially Candlemass-like) and appropriately haunting vocals
from Swanö.
Three tracks on the end of the CD come from their first demo,
hinting at a rougher style of doom early in this band's career.
Dragsten has since retired from the music business.
