Blodhemn Releasing Sophomore Album "H7"

One-man Norwegian black metal project Blodhemn is pleased to spew forth sophomore full-length, "H7," upon unsuspecting ears. Led by one Invisus, "H7" follows the "Brenn Alle Bruer" EP and "Holmengraa" debut.

Where tracks like "Flammens Virke" and "Slettet av Tid" disgorge blasphemous bile and ravenous anger, "Evig Heder" and "Veiten 3" tell of recent Norwegian history of war and of those who defended their country at all costs.

"The H7 monogram is used by Blodhemn as a symbol of Norwegian patriotism," reveals Invisus, "an homage to late heroes and the hardship they had to endure. This, as well as the traditional tropes of black metal, take a large part in creating that trademark Norwegian grimness, lyrically. But my love for the west coast of my country, with its capricious weather and its grey, barren landscapes are a source of inspiration I always return to, be it words or music."

Such is the case with closing track, "Holmengraa," about the unforgiving treachery of the North Sea and the often brutal consequences for those who dare it; the majesty of its riffs are outdone only by the viciousness of its subject matter. The track listing is:

1. Flammenes Virke
2. Slettet Av Tid
3. Evig Heder
4. Veiten 3
5. Åndenes Ansikt
6. Fandesvenn
7. Holmengraa
