History Music / Lifelover

* GutturalGrowler: Kim, at times 1853, LR, and B.

* {{Bishonen}} Kim, when he's not covered in cuts and blood, is quite the looker.

* {{Bishonen}} Kim, [[Main/{{Squick}} when he's not covered in cuts and blood]], is quite the looker.

* LyricalDissonance: Majority of their songs are upbeat and experimental...but the lyrical themes are pretty disturbing and overall depressing. Example is "M/S Salmonella" from ''Pulver'', which sounds pretty happy..but the lyrics are about [[DrivenToSuicide a man killing himself]] and [[NightmareFuel sending a postcard to someone saying he's done the deed]].

* VocalTagTeam: In a confusing way. Kim was lead vocals while B, 1853 and LR were additional, but the music is all over the map it's hard to pin point who's who.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Um...It happens in the song "Mitt öppna öga", but..[[NotSafeForWork let's not go there]].

[[caption-width-right:350: Yes that ''is real blood''..]]

* FanService: The cover of ''Pulver'' consist of a naked woman ''covered in blood''. There's a good reason why the cover isn't shown.

There are bands who built themselves with shock value, and then there's [[IronicName Lifelover]]. One of the most infamous acts that inspired the Depressive Suicidal Black Metal movement (DSBM), Lifelover started in 2005 by Swedish musicians Kim "( )" Carlsson and Jonas "B" Bergqvist. The band's lyrical themes mainly surround itself through drugs, BlackComedy, misery, depression, hatred, and overall cynicism, all while mixing together [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly different styles of music, resulting with many albums sounding different]].

* BlackMetal: Core genre, although they [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly experimented here and there with their albums]].

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Every album had some type of experimental to sound different, resulting with an insane amount of GenreRoulette.

After seven years of being together, the band broke up in 2011 following [[AuthorExistenceFailure the death of B from an accidental prescription drug overdose]]. The band had no intention to reuniting for the sake of B's memory and even decided to [[TheBandMinusTheFace create another band with the same members]].

** Kim on stage is shirtless but ''covered in blood'', [[CaptainObvious duh]].

* {{Sampling}} / SpokenWordInMusic: There will be some sampling here and there, from sources from Swedish media. As for spoken words, Kim would usually speak through some parts of a song, or overall speak in general. Big example is in "Expandera" from ''Sjukdom'' where he consist of just reciting a poem, at least [[LastNoteNightmare until the end]].

* FanService / FanDisservice: The cover of ''Pulver'' consist of a naked woman ''covered in blood''. There's a good reason why the cover isn't shown.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Kim and B, they both formed the band and were seen to be best friends.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Both Kim and B were shown to be scary people, but when interviewed, they're pretty down to earth guys. Kim in particular is considered {{Adorkable}} by some.
** Jonas was basically a normal, fun guy, although some interviews (even Kim as well) have said he had a rather huge sick sense of humor, in that of BlackComedy.

--> ''Shallow'', off of ''Konkurs''

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: B's death is what caused the band to break up, as they couldn't continue without him.

Performances were infamous for being [[BloodBath bloody with Kim bleeding on stage]], [[EpilepticTrees whether for shock value or for the real intent of the music]].

* BloodBath: ''Ho boy''...

* BreatherEpisode: Sometimes at times can be ''very'' relaxing. Examples are "Stängt p.g.a semester" from ''Konkurs'' and "Humörets bottenvåning" from ''Erotik''.

* Jonas "B" Bergqvist - guitars, piano, speech, vocals (2005 - 2011)

* LyricalDissonance: Majority of their songs are upbeat and experimental...but the lyrical themes are pretty disturbing and overall depressing. Example is "M/S Salmonella" from ''Pulver'', which songs pretty happy..but the lyrics are about [[DrivenToSuicide a man killing himself]] and [[NightmareFuel sending a postcard to someone saying he's done the deed]].

* {{Bishonen}} Kim.[[NightmareFuel when he's not covered in cuts and blood]].

* Bloodbath: ''Ho boy''...

* DrugsAreBad: '''Averted'''. The band wrote lyrics about drugs and such, although unlike [[{{Music/Shining}} another band]], they've never been seeing doing drugs on stage other than
drinking.

* MadnessMantra: ''Jag finner inga svar. Finns det några svar?/Jag finner inga svar, Finns det några svar?/
Jag finner inga svar, Det finns inga svar! [[note]] I find no answers, Are there any answers?/I find no answers, Are there any answers?/I find no answers, There is no answer! [[/note]]
