About this product
2017 . How often has primeval black metal been announced dead in the last twenty years? With their debut album Ett Fjärran Kall (A Call From Afar), Fornhem from Sweden prove those predictions to be pointless. While Vafthrudner and Solbane undoubtedly owe a lot to the aesthetics originally crafted by the pioneers of Scandinavian black metal, they nevertheless achieve to create their own approach by interpreting influences from a broad spectrum of folk (rock) music in a consciously minimalist and almost hypnotizing way. InchOur aim is to make music that moves forward, even if it's minimal and repetitive, and we think that adding something or making slight alterations in a riff or chord progression makes it come alive and breatheInch, explains Vafthrudner the proven method of Fornhem. InchBlack metal in general is quite beautiful music behind all the layers of noise, and we want to enhance that by using minimalism. Also, quieter moments or using acoustic instruments creates an interesting dynamic as opposed to the 'wall of noise'. Reflecting the folk aspect of Fornhem, Solbane adds InchI think folk music as well as folk rock/metal has an inherent catchiness to it, it's simple and direct music that comes from the heart. We are certainly influenced both by the variety of Nordic folk music, as well as folk rock / metal, but our main influence is old school black metal, most notably Burzum, Dark Throne and Bathory, and also 70s and 80s classic hard rock/metal styles.Inch

FORNHEM are living proof that the dark underground in Norrkoping at the centre of Sweden's historic province of Ostergotland, which has spawned such ground-breaking acts as MARDUK and OFERMOD, is still fertile. The Swedes' sophomore full-length InchStamman fran BergetInch (InchThe Voice from the MountainInch) is clearly more than a continuation from FORNHEM's acclaimed 2017 debut album InchEtt Fjarran KallInch (InchA Call from AfarInch). While the trio remains firmly rooted in Nordic black metal with it's mesmerising, repetitive phrasing, pounding ritualistic percussion, and fierce vocals, they have expanded the range of their eclectic influences even further. At the core of the band's audible musical development apart from added years of experience is the addition of guitarist Thuleman to the original founding duo of FORNHEM. Thuleman is a veteran musician, who comes with a solid background in blues rock and just for the fun of it also composes Nordic ambient. The organic fusion of classic rock and metal with black metal has created a quite unique take on the genre's sound. FORNHEM were founded in 2013 by vocalist and drummer Vafthrudner and guitarist Solbane, who came with a background in both classical music as well as black metal. Both artists are also united by a love for books as Solbane is a librarian and Vafthrudner studies history of religion in Uppsala. His interest in philosophy and art have shaped aesthetics of FORNHEM and manifest on InchStamman fran BergetInch in lyrics that take inspiration from Sweden's radical lyricist Gunnar Ekelof. With InchStamman fran BergetInch FORNHEM skillfully add a new facet to Nordic black metal that will appeal to both traditionalists looking for a dark emotional ride as well as those searching for a fresh approach and lyrical intelligence.

Guzzard's second album, Quick, Fast In A Hurry features more of a raw, live sound than their debut. Originally released in 1995, this one grinds out with a heavy focused sound and out of nowhere riff changes.
