Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly obscure gem of Scandinavian progressive music, 'Joy & Breath of Eternity' was almost entirely written and performed by the Norwegian multi-instrumentalist. The compositions heavily feature sweeping synthesizers and complex guitar leads, exploring deeply spiritual, Christian-themed lyricism within a cosmic framework. It remains a fascinating, highly melodic artifact of DIY symphonic rock.
