Norway. Country of fine women and...Well basically it's filled with fine women and that's reason enough to love it. Another reason to love it, not mine, is viking metal. My musical reason to love Norway is a band I did not know before, called WE. I already liked the clothingstore, which carries the same name, but this band is even better!

Tension & Release is their latest album, and people...dare I say it....if it wasn't for The Mars Volta and Face Tomorrow, this would be the album of the year. Now they have to settle for the bronze medal, which is no shame at all!

The album starts of with 'Lotus Rising (The Emotional Minefields)', which has a ring to it I can't really explain actually. Just like songs such as 'Thorns' and 'Post Millenium Tension Blues', it reminds of one of my favourite album ever which is ironically called The Album Of The Year by Faith No More. There are no specials on this album like an amazing drummer or phenomanol guitarists, but the overall sound of this band is just fantastic!

Apparantly this is their third album! So check it out, and check the first two out as well! Too bad in the version I got, 'No Ends' actually ENDS abrubtly after a minute or so. Not sure if this was meant to be, but still...Great fucking album!
