Northaunt started in 1996, by Herleif Langas & Ketil Soraker to create atmospheric, melancholic ambient mixing environmental recordings and minimalistic melodic elements (usually piano or guitar), treated nature sounds, samples and bits of melodies.

"Barren Land" is the second full-length release from Northaunt, after "The Ominous Silence" 2001. Recorded 2002-2003 during a one year stay in Spitzbergen, an island in the arctic region north of Norway. A desolate place that together with field recordings from various places (Norway/Spitzbergen/Greenland) has inspired the most arctic album by Northaunt.
