The story of Hjemlengsel (Norwegian for homesickness)
dates back to 2004/2005, and it all started with a wish
to create music without genre defining boundaries. In
2009 the band recorded a self-titled EP, which was
released digitally in 2010. After a period in
hibernation, the first full length album was completed
during the summer of 2021, and is finally ready to be
released winter 2024.
The music on Nimmermeer (Dutch for nevermore) is best
described as atmospheric, sometimes progressive, melodic
(not quite) doom, dominated by long instrumental
passages with sparse, clean vocals throughout. There's a
cold, arctic atmosphere permeating the material, with
the crystal clear production perfectly suiting the
carefully orchestrated compositions. Yet, amid the cold
landscapes, there's a comforting warmth, providing the
beautiful duality of the natural elements so perfectly
ingrained in HJEMLENGSEL's sound.
The lyrics, sung in Norwegian, Dutch and German, deal
with universal themes of solitude, loss and longing.
With its near hour-long playing time, Nimmermeer is a
monolith of an album, yet it's easy to get into if you
let it seep in. If you have a penchant for atmospheric,
heavy music that rewards the patient listener, you will
not be disappointed.
