From PandoraoceanbluTiamat started out as a Swedish death metal band, but by 1994 Johan Edlund had lost most of his lineup and was steeped in Pink Floyd and seventies prog. Wildhoney drifts between doom and something much stranger, held together by short instrumental passages and by Waldemar Sorychta, who produced it and played the keyboards himself. Swedish metal had never sounded this stoned or this tender. It sits somewhere between Paradise Lost and Type O Negative, and anyone who heard the Floyd ghost in Elizium will find it here too.
