Hjemlengsel - Hjemlengsel (2010)

The debut ep from this band from Norway.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass and guitars.

A handful of guests added accordion, cello, stylophone, piano and vocals.

I reviewed their brand new album, their debut album, Nimmermeer some weeks ago and promised to also review their debut EP, this EP, too in due time.

Which I am doing now.

Nimmermeer, their new album, has a blend of funeral doom, melancholic post-rock and progressive rock. Their EP, recorded and released fourteen years ago, is largely within the same genre. There is not much progressive rock here though. There are a lot of folk music hymns influenced funeral doom metal here. That is what the music is.

There is a lot of guitars here. The sporadic other instruments adds some variations to this twenty odd minutes, three songs long EP.

The sound is good and the overall quality is decent. This is an EP well worth checking out if a mix of melancholic rock and funeral doom is your thing.
