Lamashtu to release Längtan on December 13th!

Längtan, originally released in 2024, showcases the band's evolution, advancing their symphonic foundation while introducing compelling progressive elements. The album tells the haunting tale of Joar, continuing the saga first introduced in Tro ("Faith"). This rich narrative continues and explores the world of Eli world which starts in ancient Mesopotamia. Throughout the saga she encounters strange and mysterious creatures, bringing about a transformative journey together with demons and Joar by her side. This concept aligns with Lamashtu’s dark, mythical themes, centered on the demon goddess Lamashtu—patroness of the malformed and the wicked.

The story of Eli, which runs through both Tro and Längtan, was further expanded in a Swedish fantasy book, Eli. Available in over 50 libraries across Sweden, the novel marks the first of a planned trilogy.
