HEIMLAND is a Black Metal band based in Norway and formed in 2016. This is the band's sophomore full-length album, and it has eight songs. "Vagrant" is first. It has a weighted and aggressive sound, led by the charge of thick, driving bass notes and tortured vocal screams. It has an intensity that doesn't let up much, except for the final section where it slows a bit and somber tones replace angry ones. "De Tusen Galters Endelikt" has a strong combination of rage and despondence, and I have mentioned many times that these two things can marry in the genre. It also has a heavy charge of guitars that create that "wall" that is easily associated with Black Metal. "Kroner og Demoner" is both shorter and heavier, and once again meaty bass notes hold down the bottom end. Bass guitar is one instrument that many bands don't feature high enough in the mix, so it's refreshing to hear.

"Spre Mine Asker Der Torv Moeter Hav" is more within the traditions of the genre. Again, there exists both aggression and hopelessness in the song, and neither side seems to be winning the battle. "Blott et Minne" is a short transitional song consisting mostly of what sounds like recorder notes, and cold winds of the north whipping up in the background. "Aa Sverge ved Kniven" has a slower sound with a bit of groove in the riff. It's unusual for the genre and the riff is simple, but catchy. They let it ride out for a while before adding in vocals. Black 'N Roll, maybe? "Nordhordland" is another song that's both heavy on the bottom end and thick with rhythm guitars. The vocals rage again with both aggression and despondence, and it's hard to figure out if he is screaming at the sky in anger or with regret.

"Mann maner Maane" is the final song, and it's also the longest, clocking in at over eight minutes. It gives the band plenty of time to explore the cold, dark, and wet dungeons that lie beneath the earth. Overall, this wasn't a bad album per se, and the meaty bass notes were one of its best features. Unfortunately, it just sounded too much like FWOBM inspired music for me, and it wasn't diverse enough to really get off the ground.
