The Awakening, by Valravn

The Awakening

by Valravn

supported by

sachavonkarl74 Sophomore album of Finnish band Valravn, a seemingly recent black metal outfit playing traditional, melancholic and dark BM, with amazing guitar work, and a clean production, with really good arrangements that makes this new album stand out. It was love at first hearing for me. I was listening to old Beherit, also featured on Primitive Reaction, and discovered these guys. Favorite track: Charge of the Last Cavalry.

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Awakening”

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 10 fans who also own “The Awakening”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
