I discovered this Norwegian band, Haerskar, a few years ago by accident on the web. I gooled them and can find freak all. All I know is that they were around back in 2000 and recorded at least 3 tracks that can be found on youtube by punching in Haerskar Manne. Haerskar Spor and the other track is Haerskar Totem. They had a female vocalist who sang in Norwegian and were from somewhere in Norland a county in the Nnorthern part of Norway. If I had to categorize the three excellent tracks I would have to say Norwegian progressive folk metal. Anyone out in progland help me with this mystery band. Here's a newspaper clipping I dug up as well.

According to RateYourMusic they have only had one demo in 2006: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/herskar/krigskjetta/" rel="nofollow - http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/herskar/krigskjetta/ They probably didn't make it. |

Don't know the band, but....have you tried contacting whoever's behind their http://www.myspace.com/haerskar" rel="nofollow - MySpace page ? It seems like their sole 2000 album was their only one, and a vinyl release at that. Band has been disbanded, http://www.nrk.no/urort/Artist/Herskar/default.aspx" rel="nofollow - some songs available here . ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

Thankss is there anyone out there who can translate the newspaper clip? I just discovered another song on a Norwegian site this morning but no background info which is what I'm really interested in to stick on my website.

Perhaps aginor will find his way here. Based on my elementary Swedish I think I understand some bits, but still very little of it. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

it is a album review praising the bands creativety and not stick to the mold of plain rock music, and admire the atmosphere, it is said htat you would hardly find a more spessial music in the CD rack at the music storeit also praise andother North Nowegian prog band named Løvetann for taking the prog route. they say the band express prog rock and folk rock, with elements of dark 80s rock. praises the vocalists soft clean voice. and praise the songlength, the compostion structure, and melodicity, kombiw serious music with melodic and fresh sounds. and they are not ashemed to sound pompous nor grandious at times  and some weaknesses is mentioned last, like the not so good production, and also lack of more instrumental passages, when you first are attempting at making 7 min songs fill it with interesting instrumentation, but most is praising therefore the dice with 4 eyes, but some small crique is also indeed pressant :)=-------------
