LongYear's album Sort Vinter Evig Sol is a stunning display of their musical prowess. The album's title translates to "Black Winter Eternal Sun," and the music within certainly reflects this contrast. The band's sound is a blend of post-rock and shoegaze, with elements of black metal and ambient music woven in.
The opening track, "Sort Vinter," sets the tone for the album with its haunting guitar riffs and atmospheric soundscapes. The vocals, sung in Norwegian, add an otherworldly dimension to the music. "Nattens Barn" is another standout track, with its driving rhythm and explosive guitar solos.
Throughout the album, LongYear creates a sense of sonic immersion that transports the listener to a different realm. The tracks flow seamlessly into one another, creating a cohesive journey that is both introspective and emotionally charged.
