Polar Black Metal I by Framheim

Polar Black Metal I by Framheim

the sunny west coast of Italy may be home for Framheim but as long as their insides feel the eternal lick of Arctic winds then by all means I endorse their right to play slightly-washed out ambient black metal in the vein of Blut Aus Nord. both tracks establish solid bases to launch furious rejections of liberal views on the importance mortality against grinding riff madness, but neither opt to do so. instead Framheim are left plodding in the grey of their moody chord sequences for the entire runtime, with some desultory barking occasionally livening things up.

Short reconstruction of the dining / living room at Framheim, created by the Fram Museum. The scene ends with a portrayal of the team working on various protective eyewear and nose guards. On the subject of noses, yes it looks as if the man portraying Amundsen had to use a prosthetic to replicate the explorer’s most prominent feature.

After dropping the main party off at Cape Evans, the Terra Nova was going to take a group of scientists to the eastern side of the Ross Sea, but on the way they discovered Amundsen's team encamped on the Barrier.  They had a bit of an exchange day, wherein they were polite and civilised, and both suspiciously scoped out the other's outfit.
