The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

Häxanu - Totenpass

I do not know Häxanu's debut release, yet this is set to be changed in the near future. Totenpass (a word which funnily sounds like a document one'd need in Germany to be permitted to die) is an intriguing, atmospheric journey. I always enjoy it when a record's longest songs are the best, and this is definitely the case here with the three of them. Apart from the atmosphere, another highlight are the engaging riffs; melodic and engaging, yet sharp enough to cut your throat. Highly enjoyable!

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!
