The sorrowful guitars of Stefa and Bootleg-Henkka draw threatening dark shadows on the wall, Kostajainen's drumming bombardement pulses like embers of a dying fire in the hearth. All the while, Humö's bass guitar is clanking and wailing like the icy wind rattling windows and banging walls, as Stefa roars and channels messages from the netherworld or preaches wisdom of ancient days, backed by a choir.

Lords of Hell smile approving as the flames of hatred and cunning of their beloved sons drowns a dying old world, and heart of the earth trembles the birth of new and weird. Havukruunu is the spirit of freedom, harbinger of oblivion, and it tells you: FLY, YOU FOOLS!

Havukruunu's upcoming album 'Tavastland' tells the story of a small, strange people.

"'Tavastland' tells how in 1237 the Tavastians rose in a rebellion against the church of Christ and drove the popes naked into the frost to die. 'Tavastland' reveals our fathers’ centuries old sins and lies of consolation. 'Tavastland' speaks of him, who has become a prisoner of his home, alienated from the land of the forest and is now afraid of the dark with all lights on, surrounded by his smart devices. 'Tavastland' tells about the freedom we lost. 'Tavastland' haunts its listener to the grave, and I will personally open that grave one bleak night, and steal the fading light of your sempiternal soul," commented Stefa.

'Tavastland' is available on Svart exclusive "ice & blood" vinyl edition, limited to 666 copies. Also available on limited "amber & black smoke" vinyl, classic black vinyl, CD, cassette tape, and digital platforms. All vinyl editions of the first pressing include a booklet and poster. New Havukruunu T-shirt also up for pre-order now at Svart Records' webstore.
