The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, strings, clavinet, piano, organ, mini moog and vocals.
Høst released two studio albums. Both of them are classic albums in the Norwegian scene and there is indeed an argument that this band is the best Norwegian progressive rock band of all time. That is not my view, but I have heard this argument many times. Not at least from the leading musicians in today's prog rock scene in Norway.
I got both their albums up for review this week and is off course starting with the debut album.
The music is a mix of hard rock and folk rock. In this respect, they sounds like the more obscure Norwegian band Hades whose one and only album I reviewed some days ago.
There is also some progressive rock on this album in addition to the folk and hard rock. The musicians showcases their great skills and most of the songs are both catchy and has a lot of interesting details. The vocals is also good.
The title track is indeed very good and the highlight of this album.
The result is a good album and one to check out.
