!!! RELEASE-DATE IN THE US: 5th OF JUNE !!! open grave records
„The Kiss the Hope“ is rough, confusing, intimate.
Six years after the debut “solace”, which brought Lengsel much respect, now the new album is released. The three guys from Birkeland, seem to put all their musical extremes on one album. Despite the wide stylistic range, “the Kiss the Hope” is a coherent piece of extreme music which is understandable only as a whole.
If you are ready to dig into it, you’ll be surrounded by mean walls of garage metal buildings which collapse over and over and stream into valleys of delusive silence. In a melancholic mood the songs range from experimental metal, new wave inspired passages to fragile soundscapes.
This album takes time but rewards the listener with a journey into new worlds. No care for genres or short term accessibility. You’ll experience darkness and fight yourself a way out.
And then… the night’s over. The Kiss. The Hope.
" given the time and some time to digest, The Kiss – The Hope can be a very rewarding listen, and one I’d certainly feel comfortable recommending to our more adventurous readers." Metalreview.com
"As far as I know, there is nothing else like this out there." www-metal-archives.com
"These guys just now have managed to combine the best of the Norwegian metal underground with the American hardcore underground and the result is absolutely stunning. Lengsel may sound a bit like a ‘sissy’ kind of name for a metal band, with this record it has just established itself in the top of the experimental heavy music charts. " -www.lordsofmetal.nl
"It's rusty and noisy, very metallic but not in a distorted way but rather a pissed-off yet melancholy rocky way. " www.avantgarde-metal.com

“The Kiss The Hope” is amongst a small handful of releases so far in 2007 that have the ability to hammer the nail up the sweaty, grim arse that is extreme music into something exciting and unpredictable again. So, for a massively epic, unsettling and above all coherent slab of forward-thinking gritty metal then look no further than Lengsel. www.archaic-magazine.com
"Inte en text har jag läst men för min del kan de handla om hemslöjd, tapetsering eller smådjur – The Kiss, The Hope är på alla sätt en fantastisk skiva och Lengsel är kronjuvelen i Whirlwinds stall." www.ikon1931.se

still my favourite band. even though i'm not that into extreme music anymore. i have both records and am in love with both solace has the i-obviously-am-black-metal-except-much-better-than-anything-you've-ever-heard-before working. and the sound to the kiss the hope is just perfect. the exageration of the cure's pornography and the black mood throughout the album, the noise and peace. it's just beautiful
