JOYLESS, one of the most controversial bands, maintain their unique style. JOYLESS is mainly a depressive and also psychedelic Rock with and early Black Metal influence. JOYLESS'sfirst work "Unlimited Hate" once maintained this style; When it's something between depressive Rock and depressive Black Metal we could easily claim that it is probably experimental. This year's Full-length called "Without Support" is their third Full-length; Eleven years after their previous Full-length "Wisdom & Arrogance". We could say that we can once again listen to yet another really nice work based on their unique style. The music and lyrical themes remained the same.

Here is some info about JOYLESS: They were formed in 1996. The debut album was "Unlimited Hate". After a year, in 1997, they continued their work with a split with APOKRYPHUS. Two years later in 1997 they release their EP "Blue in the Face". The following year, 2000, they release their second Full-length, "Wisdom & Arrogance"; In that same year the member Ida joined the band.  In 2005 they returned again with a split album with WOODS OF INFINITY called "Uppgivet Hjärta / Eidyllion". After four years, in 2009, they returned once again and this time with a furious attitude with a compilation called "Wild Signs of the Endtimes". Furthermore, there were also three split albums: The first one with BETHLEHEM, the second one with URFAUST and the third one with DEKADENT AESTHETIX. This year, they are back with their third Full-length called "Without Support".

"Without Support"has a great musical taste. The female leading vocals are amazing. Those provided mischievous and also depressive style at the same time. The music is just as I expected from this band. They might have changed their stylein the last tenyears from depressive Black Metal form to a depressive and psychedelic Rock, yet, the result is amazing. I also have to say that JOYLESS influenced many other bands like LIFELOVER.
