Buaas. Anders - The Witches of Finnmark III (2019)

The third album from this guitarist from Norway.

Anders Buaas plays guitars, mandolin, banjo and keyboards on this album.

He got help from a handful of other musicians who has provided drums, bass, percussion, tuba, trombone and voices.

This is the final chapter, final album in this The Witches Of Finnmark trilogy. 

Finnmark is the most northern, most barren and most arctic part of Norway. A county very unlike the rest of Norway. I have lived in that area so I know all about that. Finnmark also had it's fair share of this vile, nasty witch burnings which hit Europe like a plague. I write these lines from a place which was used to burn "witches". Vile, vile, vile.......

The music on this album is a mix of folk rock, Camel like symphonic prog and some progressive metal. The music is instrumental and mainly performed by guitars.

The result is another decent to good album.

I like what Anders Buaas has done here and commend him for raising this issue on these three albums.
