Description

Black vinyl with gatefold cover

North Star is the Viking Metal pioneers Einherjer’s eighth studio album and its proving their status as the pioneers of blending Nordic Black Metal and Folk Metal genres once again. The Norwegian metal outfit remains musically true to themselves and reinforces their exceptional position.North Star was recorded in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic at the in-house Studio Borealis, owned by founding member and mastermind Frode Glesnes. The raw production ties in seamlessly with its predecessor Norrone Spor and makes North Star probably the most powerful Einherjer album to date. North Star is Einherjer’s musical mission towards something bigger – the search for guidance by the North Star in a constantly changing world that is searching for stability.The album’s opener, The Blood And The Iron, peppered with uncompromising double-bass thunderstorms, pulls the listener in from the very first second, while Stars stomps through atmospheric soundscapes with dark chords. West Coast Groove underlines Einherjer’s technical songwriting sophistication with finest guitar solos.
