Distinctive sound of the North.

Anglagard being the anvil on what's created the Norweigan sound, quickly followed by Sinkadus, Anekdoten and a few others; that approach is a dying genre these days.

Drenched in mellotron and Stratocaster solos, Nordagust is somewhat darker, no blackier than Sinkadus and such. Black atmosphere, black lyrics (pain, separation, crushed dreams, hate and other daily chit-chat) and so on. Not being the technical prodigy that was Anglagard (who is anyway?), Nordagust is throughoutly giving a run for your money with chilling lyrical fog and tragic melodies. A little rest can be heard in the track In the Woods, with a chirping creek and Anthony Phillips 12 strings style.

I do appreciate the moody heavyness, perfect for a day of rain or your regular Egyptian plague.

Yes, the end of the world has now a soundtrack.
