Product Description
Hailing from the dark psychedelic corners of Bergen, Himmellegeme is back with their sophomore album, 'Variola Vera'. Their music, deeply influenced by atmospheric prog - rock, weaves together to craft an otherworldly and timeless sonic experience. With powerful riffs, spine - chilling melodies, and melancholic lyrics, Himmellegeme paints pictures of past events in their own and others' lives.
The album's overarching themes revolve around the impact humans have on Earth and the destruction we leave behind, not just to the planet but also to its inhabitants. While not a traditional concept album, the lyrics, though fictional, draw inspiration from real - life events, viewed from diverse perspectives.
Their debut album, 'Myth of Earth', won critical acclaim worldwide. Prog Magazine noted that Aleksander Vormestrand's high, clear voice, filled with unfulfilled longing, is reminiscent of Thom Yorke in Radiohead's melody - loving days, paired with Hein Alexander Olson's soaring lead guitar.
'Variola Vera' was recorded at Bergen's top - notch Broen Studios and produced by Anders Bjelland (Electric Eye / Hypertext), who worked his sonic magic on the album. This officially licensed Himmellegeme marble vinyl is a must - have for fans.
To enjoy your Himmellegeme 'Variola Vera' vinyl, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, center it, and drop the needle carefully on the lead - in groove. Sit back and let the music play. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. After use, store it in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the vinyl as this can damage it.
