FIMBULVINTER

Fimbulvinter by Bjorn Riis is a deep, haunting, and melancholic album that showcases his signature atmospheric soundscapes. Tastefully composed and performed effectively with both acoustic and electric instruments, the album draws listeners into an introspective journey. The track "She" stands out for its sincerity and emotional depth, highlighting Riis's ability to convey raw feelings through subtle arrangements and heartfelt melodies.

The title track, "Fimbulvinter," is probably the proggiest piece on the album. It starts off with heavy prog rock energy, transitions into a melodic passage, and then masterfully combines both elements. This progression expands into other musical forms reminiscent of Pink Floyd's ambient textures and late Opeth's emotional dynamics. Riis's skill in blending these influences while maintaining a unique voice is impressive.

Overall, Fimbulvinter is a very satisfying listen for fans of progressive and atmospheric rock, offering both emotional weight and musical sophistication.

4.4/5
