Asmegin
Asmegin formed in 1998, with the goal being to blend
black metal with traditional folk melodies.
And that's exactly what they have accomplished on
their debut
Hin Vordende Sod & Sø,
the band mixing frenzied black metal with viking and folk
influences (the latter accentuated by some fine violin
work courtesy of
Ram-Zet's Sareeta, now a permanent member of the band),
forging a pretty unique and very well-developed style.
Guest vocalist Lars Nedland
(
Solefald, and for a time an official band member here)
lends a hand here, his unmistakeable clear voice providing
an effective contrast to the traditional black roars of
Bjørn Olav Holter.
Only one album into their career and this band already has
a firm grasp of where they want to go.
A fine band indeed.
