There have been a lot of different opinions on the album, both in previously fans and music critics. Most have been very positive, but some think it's a shame we did not follow up the music from the previous album, Devil Black. When we decided to make "Blåne for Blåne" a sharp contrast to Devil Black we were constantly aware of that it would get a mixed reception. Nevertheless, one month after the release, we see that most of the reviews are very positive.
We really do. Many other folk rock- and folkmetal bands from Norway has a lot of international fans and listeners. It seems to be something with the Norwegian folk music tradition and history that appeals to people. Especially when this is combined with elements of rock and metal.
We will play a lot during summer and autumn. Currently, all the concerts take place in Norway, and there is everything from individual concerts, festivals to television and radio.
The northern part of Norway, and also Germany were we have a lot of fans.
No, not yet. For now, all our concerts will take place in Norway, but we hope to do some international tours in the future.
Much of the inspiration behind the album is taken from the time when peace came to Norway after World War II. The world had shown itself from its worst side, and in the decades to come people created a society with soft, warm and human values which were a sharp contrast to Europe during the war and the years before. The music is still inspired by Norwegian folk music, but this time combined with rock and Anglo-American music instead of metal.
To early to say. For now we`re having a lot of rehearsals for our release concert, and maybe in the autumn/winter we start focusing on making a new album.
I don`t think so. The fact that we`re writing in Norwegian is one of our distinct characteristics.
For now we`re focusing on touring with "Blåne for Blåne". If we start working in 2016, maybe there will be a new release sometime in 2017.
Still making music together and playing concerts. We want to keep on the journey through different expressions and moods, and not be locked inside one genre years after years.
