Vemod - Kringom Fjell Og Skog

Review by Paul Rhoden

Vemod's album Kringom Fjell Og Skog is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the Norwegian landscape. The album is a blend of black metal and ambient music, with a focus on creating a sense of place and atmosphere. The songs are slow and deliberate, with layers of sound that build and evolve over time. The use of acoustic instruments, such as the flute and the accordion, adds a folk-like quality to the music, which is fitting given the album's themes of nature and tradition. The vocals are sparse, but when they do appear, they are powerful and raw, adding to the sense of emotion and intensity that permeates the album. Kringom Fjell Og Skog is a beautiful and immersive album that captures the essence of Norway's rugged and majestic landscape.
