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
Wow, between this band and the band Sammal, there is a great resurgence of the classic 1970s Finnish progressive rock sound going on in Finland nowadays! This will also appeal to fans of the instrumental parts of Opeth, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, etc. Prog fans rejoice! Good stuff coming your way from Finland. Brian Worthing
