Kornmo - Fimbulvinter - CD
Kornmo from Trondheim (Norway) is the result of an almost 50-year musical collaboration between Odd-Roar Bakken and Nils Larsen. When their former band Morild disbanded in early 2015, the desire to create music together was still strong.
Nils had his head full of ideas, themes and melody lines and a faithful Fender Jazz Bass. Odd-Roar had a room with a home studio, full of guitars and keyboard instruments, even a Moog on top of a Korg organ, as well as an insatiable urge to play. Anton had the technical and digital knowledge needed to operate a home studio and eventually became the one who took care of production and mixing.
Kornmo plays instrumental progressive/symphonic rock with roots in the early 70's, undertones of folk music and with an emphasis on the melodic. Fimbulvinter is Kornmo's third concept album and the first to be released by Apollon Records Prog.
The album has a darker undertone than the previous releases Svartisen (2017) and Vandring (2019). Like its two predecessors, Fimbulvinter is inspired by nature and science, especially the forces of nature that shaped the country during the ice ages.
