Havukruunu – Tavastland
From our premiere of Tavastland:
And thus the epic saga continues on the band’s newest album, Tavastland, which Decibel is proud to current in it’s full glory right here at present. Followers of the band’s earlier work will discover a deep nicely of riffs, growls, and blasts to mine from, however may also discover a band that has additional tightened, honed and perfected its core sound. Whereas I’ve preferred every part the band has performed up to now, I really feel just like the writing has taken an enormous step on this album. There’s simply extra of a “wow” consider how the components come collectively that’s instantly obvious, whereas the earlier albums might take just a little extra time to sink in.

Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant
In the meantime. I like how deep these guys minimize conceptually. No, they’re not simply breaking the Christian covenant or the Abrahamic covenant. They’re going all the way in which again to the start, to the beginning of human existence. I’ve to think about this is able to make a becoming soundtrack for Earth’s violent formation, as there’s one thing distinctly volcanic about loss of life steel like this.
