Vemod (NOR) – The Deepening DIGI-CD

Black Metal

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).
