Info:
Ásmegin began in late 1998 as a Norwegian Viking metal band and
motivated by the will to merge traditional romanticism with heavy
metal. The demo, which followed the lead of their previous effort
— its sound still markedly representing the Viking metal genre,
yet leaning more heavily on the folkloric aspects — was
unfortunately never released, and future prospects turned grim as
the band slowly dismantled.
In experimenting heavily with Scandinavian folk music, Ásmegin has
been fortunate to feature the exceptional work of gifted musicians
such as Lars Fredrik Frøislie (White Willow, Wobler) on piano and
samples, Lars Nedland (Borknagar, Solefald) on vocals, Sareeta
(Ram-Zet) on fiddle and female chants, Anne Marie Hveding on
additional female chants, Oddrun Hegge on the Norwegian zither,
Gunhild Førland on the flute, and Anja Hegge Thorsen on the Jew's
harp
The name:
Ancient Nordic word. The name represents the unique and versatile
powers of the Norse gods. |
