" I wanted to really present the beauty of melancholy" Akslen says. "My music is very visual in its compositions, painting within the soundcapes... I think the whole world needs to take a deep cleansing breath, and this is two minutes of pure serenity".
Cooperating with session musicians Misstiq (keys), Margarita Chernova (strings) and Norlene Olmedo (cello), ' Hjenlengsel ' is a taste of what's to come where Stein Akslen of Minneriket has joined forces with a huge roster of session collaborators to bring forth a hybrid of black metal, goth and classical all presented in 50 shades of blackness.
Commenting on this change of style Akslen narrates: "I've spent too much time going against the grain that right now I'm not even in the same field. This upcoming album is both a departure and an arrival, and a finger to orthodoxy in metal".
' Hjenlemgsel ' is available on YouTube , iTunes and Spotify , released February 12th 2021. The full length album will be available later this year.
