VAVAKI - Kuolleen Maan Omaksi

 


VAVAKI - Kuolleen Maan Omaksi 

Redefining Darkness Records


Over the past few years I've been seeing/hearing what I'd call a new guard of Finnish black metal acts who are beyond the pale of their predecessors. Now for starters I do love the Finnish BM scene's output from mid 90's to the late 2000's. And for years I've said other nations in Europe, mainly Scandinavian, brought about a certain style which was easily copied. But the Finns brought forth the necro and the brutality. 


This debut full length by VAKI is not like what I previously mentioned at all as far as necro brutality goes. Instead we've got a new school intensity with heavy handed pummeling guitars and drum work via blast beat intensity. Once in a while you get some mediocre melody and atmosphere. But the bottom line here is crush, kill and harsh screamed epic black fuckin metal.
