In Vain
Solemn (2lp/brown)
Hailing from Kristiansand, Norway, In Vain has been a pioneering force in Norwegian progressive extreme metal since 2003. Founded by guitarist Johnar Haaland and vocalist Andreas Frigstad, the band's melodic extreme metal sound set them apart early on. In 2007, In Vain released their first full-length album 'The Latter Rain', a collaborative effort with nearly twenty guest musicians, showcasing their prowess in diverse, progressive arrangements. Subsequent albums like 'Mantra' (2010) and 'AEnigma' (2013) continued to push musical boundaries. Their album 'Solemn' is showcasing exceptional musicianship across the board, and further elevating the experience with a resplendent, organic production, masterfully honed to perfection by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Katatonia, Devin Townsend, Kreator). Comes on limited brown vinyl.
