Finnish black-metal band Havukruunu – release fiery visualiser for new single ‘Havukruunu ja Talvenvarjo’

HAVUKRUUNU JA TALVENVARJO (The Coniferous Crown and the Wintershadow) is following you on the path of fierce and traditional Havukruunu, but the path is darkening unto the steps of woodland ghosts and horrible nightmares… Talvenvarjo is a grisly reminder of all you want to forget and all you refuse to believe.

Welcome to the eye of ferocious wintry winds and don’t let the shadows catch you.” comments Havukruunu.

Havukruunu’s new album Tavastland is one step closer with its second single out on digital platforms today. Take a head start into the unknown and behold the fiery visualiser for Havukruunu ja Talvenvarjo from Svart’s YouTube channel now

Havukruunu’s new 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. TAVASTLANDspeaks 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. TAVASTLANDhaunts its listener to the grave, and I will personally open that grave one bleak night and steal the fading light of your sempiternal soul.”, says Stefa.

AVASTLAND’s first Svart exclusive ice & blood vinyl edition, limited to 666 copies, is sold out. Today we’re bringing the second Svart exclusive edition to the market on a transparent green & black smoke vinyl, limited to 313 copies. TAVASTLAND is also available on limited amber & black smoke vinyl, classic black vinyl, CD, cassette tape, and digital platforms.
