Die Berufspessimisten VANHELGA aus Schweden veröffentlichen ihre EP "Happiness" bei Northern Fog Records. Die Scheibe enthält 7 Titel welche nahtlos an das Vorgängeralbum "Längtan" ansetzen. Den Hörer erwarten aber nicht nur depressive Melodien, sondern auch die ein oder andere Überraschung...
Commenting on the new release, VANHELGA founder J. Ottosson, aka 145188 (ex-LIFELOVER (live session musician), ex-SKOGSTRON) had this to say: "My constant need to write and record is a by-product of my mental state, and I am the first one to admit that whilst recording this I was under the strong influence of drugs. This resulted in a piece of work that is an expression of the effect of the use of self-destructive tools like drugs and self-mutilation in order to feel "happy". Although we have a new VANHELGA album coming out later in the year, I had a lot of material ready that I wanted to get out before then, and so we thought we'd do a digital self-release. Particularly since some of the material on "Happiness" might not necessarily fit in with the more "traditional" VANHELGA sound, and fans might find themselves a bit surprised by some of it".
