Havukruunu - Tavastland (2025)


Tavastland is an epic and immersive journey through Fenno‑Ugric lore and winter‑bitten landscapes, blending aggressive riffs, folk chants, atmospheric synths, and haunting choirs. The album revisits themes of rebellion and connection with nature, depicting a 13th-century uprising in melodic aggression and cinematic grandeur. Musicianship is razor-sharp—dual guitars and thunderous drums propel layered storytelling—while the return of Humö’s bass and rustic chants amplify the pagan atmosphere. Production balances organic grit with clarity, ensuring every chant, owl hoot, and tremolo stands out. Widely hailed as Havukruunu’s strongest work, Tavastland cements their place at the forefront of modern pagan black metal.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
