KREPERA is a Swedish project by songwriter Martin Jepsen. Thin Lines was recorded with friends and band members from various other bands at studio Ambassaden in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Right away you can tell progressive bands like Pink Floyd influenced the album as well as metal bands like Mastodon.
Thin Lines opens with a slow build up instrumental track “0406.” The squealing guitar and pounding drums wake you up listen on the following track “Curse of One.” Martin Jespen’s voice echoes throughout the entire track works well against the thudding bass. An extreme guitar solo fazes you until it’s over. The titled track “Thin Lines” again shows the strength of Jespen’s voice. It packs the right amount of punch to bounce along to. Patrick Agnesater’s vibrant drumming is the star, keeping the song so lively. Jespen’s low vocals go full heavy metal on “Shape Shifter.” Heavy metal fans will appreciate the prevalent presence of the screeching guitar. “Altruist” and “Drifting” are the best songs on the album and they’re at the very end. “Altruist” is another vigorous track. It’s an entertaining build up leading to an epic breakdown with Martin spewing his heart out until his eyes bleed. On the other hand “Drifting” is much more laid back so when the deep vocal tone hits, it is much more jolting . Thin Lines is for heavy metal fans that enjoy slower progression with riffs than frantic hardcore moshing. The band shows a lot of potential with the lead singers screaming lyrics and exquisite guitar playing. The songs are lengthy so the build up can wan on impatient listeners. The songs are dynamic so that they provide a unique experience that metal fans can appreciate.
