Artist description Norse is the instrumental band of Placebo Mentis and HOTH(e) in collaboration. The music can be best described as ambient, avant guarde, intrumental mood music. Whatever we feel like doing at the time... well that is what we sound like at the time. All of the Norse material thus far has been recorded live to capture the moment. Much of the material is free flowing spontenaeity with progressive and darkwave influence..
