Album Review: Heimland – Der torv moeter hav via Edged Circle Productions by Michelle

It is, with no doubt, that this norwegian black metal act has quite catched my attention with their style of production. After listening to their newest record to be released in mid-movember, I came to the conclusion that this act sounds oddly similar to some other bands that I am familiar with. Well, after informing myself a bit about Heimland’s backround, it now all makes sense. As they had the privilege to tour with Taake (and Asagraum), I now understand the similarity in sound that I couldn’t exactly figure out why it was there to begin with.

As the record starts with ‘Vagrant’, I immediately thought to myself that I would definitely be enjoying the majority of this upcoming record. The bass is clear sounding, an aspect I find quite respectable considering the fact that most bands overlook this essential feature. On top of that, the riffs are perfectly distorsioned, enchanting the overall energetic feeling of this track.

It is to be mentioned that most of my focus was on the music rather than what I was doing while listening to the record, because like I said earlier – Heimland’s style is one that I greatly appreciate, not to mention that ‘Kroner og Demoner’ feels much more heavier and harsh than the previous two songs, whether it’s because of the ambience created by the rawness of the main riff or vocals – I can confirm that this is probably one of the tracks that caught my attention the most.

Now, the song which made me think that I accidentally switched to Taake somehow is ‘Aa Sverge ved Kniven’, though I can’t tell exactly if it’s because of the vocals or instrumental itself – or both. Either way, this track caught me completely off guard (in the best way possible).
I also liked the starting riff of ‘Nordhordland’ quite a lot, and I think the fact that it’s present in multiple parts of the song makes it even more likeable. I must admit that I definitely did not expect for Heimland to impress me this much, but I’m happy to say that I’m actually pretty excited to check out some of their previous releases as well. 10/10
