The wait has been long, like an eternity gazing at the stars looking for a long-lost spirit, but the day has finally come. That's right, Vemod finally has a new album. If that sounds a little grandiose, take a listen to The Deepening and you'll hear why there's so much to celebrate.

I first found out about the band from Dayal Patterson's book, Black Metal: Into the Abyss. In the section about Vemod, he describes the band as specializing in "chilling and otherworldly compositions that don't merely sweep up the listener, but rather shriek through them with the force of a particularly potent Nordic storm." And that is certainly true of the band's first album, Venter På Stormene, which made a major impression on me when I first heard it. Here was an atmospheric black metal band that kept the grit and power of the original style, and yet had this incorporeal quality that set them apart. Also, good luck listening to "Å Stige Blant Stjerner" without getting totally pumped; the synchronization of the drums and guitars is just irresistible.
