You can try and define Lethe and its music, but the probability that you will fall wide of the mark is pretty much guaranteed because this duo doesn't care about genre expectations or boundaries.
Formed at the end of 2012 by Tor-Helge Skei (Manes, Manni, etc.) and Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie), Lethe is a "home" for Anna and Tor-Helge's musical and artistic experiments, which have developed into something personal and unique, and quite "different".
Lethe is, lyrically and conceptually, according to the band: "Like a journey through the 'back alleys of the human mind/psyche', through dreams and nightmares, paranoia, mental breakdown, inner darkness... No religion, fantasy, or pretend play... Real life, real experiences, real horror".
In an attempt to categorise Lethe's heady brew of metal/trip-hop/electronic/pop/experimental sounds, terms such as "genre-bending", "style-bastardization", "eclectic", and even "just plain weird" have been bandied around. But none of these can encompass what the duo, along with a long list of external contributors, has produced on its first two full-lengths: When Dreams Become Nightmares (2014) and The First Corpse On The Moon (2017).
What Lethe's third full-length will produce will become clear later this year when released via Dark Essence Records. Delayed due to the pandemic, the band is currently mixing, mastering and putting the finishing touches on the album. And all that anyone would say about it is that fans should "Expect the unexpected". Link
