about

How often has primeval black metal been announced dead in the last twenty years?
With their debut album “Ett Fjärran Kall” (“A Call From Afar”) FORNHEM from
Sweden prove those predictions to be pointless.

While Vafthrudner and Solbane undoubtedly owe a lot to the aesthetics originally
crafted by the pioneers of Scandinavian black metal, they nevertheless achieve to
create their own approach by interpreting influences from a broad spectrum of folk
(rock) music in a consciously minimalist and almost hypnotizing way.

“Our aim is to make music that moves forward, even if it’s minimal and repetitive,
and we think that adding something or making slight alterations in a riff or chord
progression makes it come alive and breathe”, explains Vafthrudner the proven
method of FORNHEM. “Black metal in general is quite beautiful music behind all
the layers of noise, and we want to enhance that by using minimalism. Also, quieter
moments or using acoustic instruments creates an interesting dynamic as opposed to
the ‘wall of noise’. The music should be simple and repetitive and long (if needed).
We always take our time and really feel how long we can play a certain riff. There
should be no stress. And that´s basically how we work; we always focus on how the
music feels.”

Reflecting the folk aspect of FORNHEM, Solbane adds: “I think folk music as well
as folk rock / metal has an inherent catchiness to it, it’s simple and direct music that
comes from the heart. We are certainly influenced both by the variety of Nordic folk
music, as well as folk rock / metal, but our main influence is old school black metal,
most notably Burzum, Dark Throne and Bathory, and also 70s and 80s classic hard
rock / metal styles.”

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 19 fans who also own “Ett Fjärran Kall”

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 17 fans who also own “Ett Fjärran Kall”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Music that has nothing to prove which has not already proved and nothing to expect when there is nothing to be expected and that is so liberating :) nakilep
