Trollheim – Ensomhet (2000)

November 26, 2024

Darker and more mature than the debut demo in every possible way other than the production. In reality, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same kit was used to record and produce this as the previous demo, but the bass/treble frequencies are more present here as the compositions are fuller. That means less glaringly-obvious wobbly solo instruments, but it does mean that the lo-fi soundstage is dominated by drums, background pads and the like; resulting in an enjoyable listen that often falls off into the lossy realms of distortion and fuzz.
