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 right this moment. Followers of the band’s earlier work will discover a deep effectively of riffs, growls, and blasts to mine from, however may even discover a band that has additional tightened, honed and perfected its core sound. Whereas I’ve preferred all the pieces the band has executed prior 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 elements come collectively that’s instantly obvious, whereas the earlier albums may take a little bit extra time to sink in.

Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant
In the meantime. I like how deep these guys lower 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 could make a becoming soundtrack for Earth’s violent formation, as there’s one thing distinctly volcanic about dying steel like this.
