This is the story of a Norwegian rock band called HØST (English: autumn/fall), founded 1971 in the small town of Knapstad in the county of Østfold, some 40 miles southeast of Oslo, Norway .

17-year old schoolboy SVEIN RØNNING, guitarist and songwriter, had developed a genuine interest of progressive rock music, such as Yes, Genesis and - a rather obscure Swedish band called November. The Swedes gave him a piece of inspiration for his own song writing, as they combined rock with native lyrics. Thus, Svein began implementing Norwegian lyrics in his songs, opposite to the rest of the Norwegian pop/rock scene at that time, which was entirely anglified.
