Email the reviewerNebelhexe, "Laguz Within the Lake"
Andrea Haugen formerly known as Hagalaz' Runedance begins a new chapter of her musical career by reviving her previous name and releasing a new album as Nebelhexe. On Laguz – Within the Lake, Andrea does not completely abandon the realm of acoustic folk but reaches back into the 80's and the early 90's gothic and synth pop scenes for some inspiration. Thus, while the music still retains the qualities of Hagalaz' Runedance due to Andrea's unique voice and minimal instrumentation, The Cure, Dead Can Dance, and Sisters of Mercy all serve as influences on the new compositions.
Fans of Hagalaz' Runedance should enjoy Laguz – Within the Lake because the new material sounds much like Volven and Frigga's Web only with electric guitars and programmed drum beats. And while tracks like Revere with its guitar driven melody and club-friendly dance track Raven Night exhibit a clear departure in sound, these new additions should pleasantly surprise the fans of old and bring in a flock of new followers as previous straightforwardness and minimalism are injected with darker, more exploratory sounds.
