VEMOD - The Deepening [DIGIPAK CD]

Product information "VEMOD - The Deepening [DIGIPAK CD]"

Digipak CD with 12-pages booklet.

VEMOD are by no means an average band. The Norwegians exist in the liminal spaces and the crossroads of places. The trio has chiselled their sophomore full-length "The Deepening" from the same sonic granite that its predecessor "Venter på stormene" came from over a decade ago. This bedrock is found in Namsos, where VEMOD were conceived as a lifelong passion project at the turn of the century by then 12-year old Jan Even Åsli. The nearest big city is Trondheim where the fiercely individual local Nidrosian black metal scene, which refers to the city's original name, provided VEMOD with its first point of musical reference as embodied by the first demo "Kringom fjell og skog" (2004).

When the Norwegians reemerged seven years later with both the track "Moestæ Qverelæ" on a split-single and the demo "Vinterilden" in 2011, they had considerably changed. The trio had taken a step outside by strengthening elements that have already been present before: a sprinkle of the majesty reminding of early IN THE WOODS..., a dash of melancholia, and a knife tip of introvert contemplation among a wide range of emotional and vivid sonic imagery. VEMOD's musical transition finds comparable parallels in the development of French brothers-in-spirit ALCEST even though there was no direct influence flowing either way. In hindsight, the Norwegians also pioneered such currently popular styles such as blackgaze and post-black metal, although they never subscribed to either. With their debut full-length "Venter på stormene" just a year later in 2012, VEMOD opened their music to new places: A mind-blowing performance at the prestigious Beyond the Gates festival in 2013 and the legendary special show within the national treasure of the Vigeland Mausoleum at Oslo's Inferno Festival 2014 cemented VEMOD's excellent reputation even across the Atlantic.

Now, "The Deepening" arrives with a different production, which resulted in a changed overall tone compared to earlier works and the Norwegians also reached out and tapped into new stylistic strata adding further elements to their sound. Even the lyrical themes running through "The Deepening" tell of change, transience, transformation, and growth. "The Deepening" offers an opportunity to look past long held beliefs and comforting illusions. At the crossroads of VEMOD's second album at this point in space and time waits a deepening understanding of their musical world.

About the album

Norwegian atmospheric black metal band Vemod returns with their evocative album "The Deepening." Recorded between the years of 2017 and 2021, this release captures a profound sense of introspection and mysticism that transports listeners to the haunting landscapes of Norway. The album is laden with sprawling compositions that juxtapose moments of serene beauty with turbulent crescendos—a hallmark of Vemod's distinctive sound.

"The Deepening" is an auditory exploration marked by its ambient textures and intense emotional depth. With tracks like "True North Beckons," the band delves into themes of nature's awe-inspiring power and existential reflection, inviting audiences to engage with music on a profoundly spiritual level. This record stands as a testament to Vemod's ability to craft immersive soundscapes that linger long after the final note has faded.
