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!

Árstíðir Lífsins on its sixth full length album “Aldrlok” recounts the timeless tales of old Norse history and turbulent times of change in Iceland. The nine cuts combine modern and classic black metal into an epic black metal album that stands unique in the band’s musical works, out via Ván Records.

Minas Morgul on their seventh album “Heimkehr” tackles modern symphonic gimmicks to enhance the composition.
The Stone’s latest output is, without doubt, one of the worthy albums I’ve heard this year, the Slavic quintet has brought a mesmeric and aggressive musical work full of hooks and melodies.
“Ôfstân” is far from an average black metal album and I highly recommend this album to fans of pagan black metal.
‘Heldentod’ offers a most memorable album where the music mesmerizingly fuses the grim elements of nineties black metal.
“Ödhin” is by far the best output of Bhleg, combining mystical pagan folk melodies with pure Scandinavian black metal.
‘Ymir’ maintains a thin line between pagan melodic and atmospheric black metal. The songs are built on classic tremolo-picked riffs displayed amid a flurry of blast beats.
Vikings and black metal go hand in hand. It just works. Don’t believe me? Here’s Havukruunu to prove me right.
Árstíðir Lífsins return once again to take you on a long journey to the cold misty lands of Scandinavia.
