Album Reviews

Havukruunu crafted a diverse piece of work that fits with the pagan themes of the past albums and presenting a sonic medium that connects the band with the ancient tale of ‘Tavastland’. Out this Friday via Svart Records, this is highly recommended for fans of Moonsorrow and the likes! Catch them live with their new album this Friday in Helsinki, at select places in Finland over the coming months, or this summer at Tuska!

Vikings and black metal go hand in hand. It just works. Don’t believe me? Here’s Havukruunu to prove me right.
