Norrskensflamman – roughly “the northern lights flame” was a communist newspaper of Luleå that in 1940 suffered a sinister and cowardly attack. Their only crime was fostering a dream of a better world. A fairer world built on camaraderie, equality and peace. Only to see it go up in flames.
Using an explosive charge fitted to the printing press, a violent fire broke out leaving five people dead. Among them two children. Devoured by the flames in a wicked blaze of a bizarre aurora borealis. In the subsequent investigation a conspiracy emerged, consisting of soldiers, officers and a journalist colleague, but shockingly also the local chief of police. Varg2™ bestows upon us an homage to Norrland, an album embracing collaborations with local abilities, driving spirits and heroes of the north. Varg2™’s bright and brilliant flame continues to enlighten and lead the way like a lantern for the feet – a pole star for the mind.

A wonderful compilation with so many favorites already. I bought the tapes recently and I love how it sounds. It must have been hard too pick the right track in this compilation. I have too say that almost every track stands on it’s own, that alone is a great achievement. Big thumbs up🎻 Raevon loves music
