Feb 28th 2025 - New release highlights

Havukruunu - Tavastland

Probably the best kept secret in Pagan Black Metal, Finland's Havukruunu release the long-awaited follow-up to 2020's Uinous Syömein Sota. Arguably the best band in the genre today and well worth your time if you're a fan of the likes of Moonsorrow, Kampfar and their ilk.

Recommended tracks: Havukruunu ja Talvenvarjo, Tavastland.

Architects - The Sky, The Earth and All Between

Brighton's finest have been mainstays on the UK Metalcore scene since 2006 and while they certainly aren't breaking the mold or any new ground on this record, it's a decent enough example of the genre.

Recomended track: Blackhole
