Havukruunu is the spirit of freedom, harbinger of oblivion, and it tells you: FLY, YOU FOOLS!

Svart Records is set to release the band’s fourth album TAVASTLAND in February 2025

After three albums, the pieces of the puzzle fit, and Havukruunu, the favorite band of the sensitive and sorrowful returns with a vengeance to blur the line between the real and unreal. 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.”, says 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’s webstore. Release date February 28^th, 2025

Void of Hope is a Finnish black metal trio born during a recording session. The whole album was composed and recorded in five days in the studio with -30°, -35° outside and in complete darkness for most of the day. Screams took place later and were recorded in 2 days.

Void of Hope includes members from Moonlight Sorcery and Ondfødt and consider themselves influenced by bands like Gris, Silencer, Lifelover, Coldworld and Austere.

Void of Hope can be a place or a state of mind, and their debut album Proof Of Existence is a journey through mental health and depression, the outcome of which may be triumph or giving up. Proof Of Existence started as depressive black metal but grew into much more.

Void of Hope is not an anonymous band, yet they do not consider their identities relevant, as regardless of what names are printed in the album, the music is all that matters.

The horrors of reality are the proof of your existence, and they will be brought to you via Avantgarde Music on January 31st, 2025.

Format: Jewel Case CD with 16 pages booklet.

 In true old-school fashion BÜTCHER presents an iconic 7” as so many legends before them did … Here we get their ferocious brand new song “Speed Metal Samurai” which lacerates like a laser katana with ruthlessly energetic drumming, flesh-melting riffs and the most metallic vocal venom-spitting you could want on such a small disc. Alongside this offering upon the altar of true steel is a cover of Manowar, the truest of them all. BÜTCHER have been conquering the world with their setlist that often includes a cover of “The Oath” and now we can have this formidable honouring of the greats in our own homes! This 7” is the exact right dose of 666mg to shoot you into action at any given moment while we salivate for more from the underground heroes. Swear the oath and do not miss this cut of fury forged in iron or you shall face the BÜTCHER!

On an important note, "Saturnalia" is announced as the final album of Selvans.
The third and last chapter of the Trilogy Lupercalia - Faunalia - Saturnalia.
Selvans is dead, long live Selvans! 

Born in 2014 as an atmospheric band blending black metal with traditional Italian folk music elements and deeply rooted in themes of local folklore, mythology, and dark cultural heritage, Selvans released two landmark albums "Clangores Plenilunio" and "Lupercalia".
In the mid of their career though the band let their 70's dark/prog background influences prevail in their new compositions, stylistically reaching a model they like to describe as "Dark Italian Art." This evolution was notable in the in subsequent releases (Faunalia, 2018 and Dark Italian Art, 2021).
Initially a duo, the band transitioned to a solo project under Selvans Haruspex in 2019 and we can definitely envision their music as heavy metal with black metal and prog-rock influences, lirically inspired by Italian folk-horror tales and imagery.
SELVANS has toured extensively around Europe - including performances at such festivals as Metaldays (Slovenia), De Mortem Et Diabolum (Germany), Metalowa Wigilia (Poland), Frantic Fest (Italy), Rites of the Black Mass (Romania), Dark Medieval Fest (France), Autumn Souls of Sofia (Bulgaria) and Emanations of the Absolute (Switzerland).  New album "Saturnalia" is entirely sung in Italian and sees for the first time an orchestra and a choir consisting of 60 elements playing side by side with SELVANS and his band.

Belgian speed metallers Bütcher have exploded onto the scene and have been making a name for themselves internationally. Their music caters to the blackened souls who love old school speed, thrash, heavy and black metal. Cuts such as Iron Bitch, 45 RPM Metal and 666 Goats Carry My Chariot are now part of the canon of the old school metal community.

After an avalanche of successful shows and festivals throughout Europe they are proud to present their 3th LP “ON FOWL OF TYRANT WING”. After the rabid debut “BESTIAL FÜKKIN' WARMACHINE” (Babylon Doom Cult Records, 2017) and the heralded sophomore album “666 GOATS CARRY MY CHARIOT” (Osmose Productions, 2020), they delve deep into their specific mixture of the golden 80's and extreme 90's.

BÜTCHER have always mixed ancient speed and thrash metal with NWOBHM, classic hard rock and black metal. On side A of the new album, they continue their very own legacy. On side B they double down on that premise. It's a concept side with an overarching unique story (written by R Hellshrieker) and a fully composed tour de force (by KK Ripper) where tempo changes, interwoven melodies, sitars, organs and various percussion instruments create an unexpected musical journey.

Heavy, death and black metal counter the speed metal and nobody will see it coming. Both progressive and very traditional, this album is sure to opiate fans and critics alike
