Lengsel is a band known for their unique contribution to the Norwegian metal scene, specifically within the subgenre of black metal, although their sound has evolved to incorporate a wider array of influences over time. The band first made waves with their debut album "Solace," released in 2000, which garnered attention for its progressive elements and emotive atmospheres, setting them apart from the traditional black metal soundscapes of their peers.

Over the years, Lengsel has continued to evolve, experimenting with their sound and approach to music-making. Their subsequent releases, including the self-titled "Lengsel" EP and the album "The Kiss - The Hope," released in 2007, showcase a band that remained sophisticated in their musical journey. Despite their relatively sparse discography, Lengsel has left an indelible mark on the scene, with each release reflecting a willingness to explore new sonic territories while maintaining the emotional and spiritual depth that initially set them apart. Their music is characterized by a blend of aggression and melody, with an underlying current of existential yearning that resonates with a dedicated base of fans around the world.
