Elskhat from Resonans by Seigmen

"Elskhat" is the opening track on the album "Resonans", and also the first one written back in the summer of 2015. At that time, their previous album "Enola" had just been released, and touring and big festivals were on the horizon.

The search for that magical riff was a constant pursuit. The guitar riff that forms the foundation of "Elskhat" was revealed outside the rehearsal space, played on a deep red semi-acoustic Gibson. The reception was good, so much so that the band realized this riff was the gateway to Seigmen's next album. Little did they know it would take nine years before the song could be presented in its entirety.

"Elskhat" narrates the constant oscillation between extremes and has its roots in songwriter and lyricist Kim Ljung's state of constant migraines. The contrast between light and dark is always close, akin to black and white, day and night. "Elskhat" leaves no middle ground.

"If you tremble, then I tremble too."

Seigmen defined the sound of Norwegian rock for a great many during the 90s. The band present a unique mixture of melancholic rock, tasteful pop and punk.
