Our Take
Our Take
Hot on the heels of their last critically acclaimed album, HIIDENHAUTA returns with Riivi, a chaotic and exhilarating journey through the depths of Finnish folklore and blackened death metal.
From the opening track "Tuhkalumpeen uni" to the haunting closer "Kuolleen jumalan paluu," this album is a relentless assault on the senses. The guitar work is frenetic, the drums are thunderous, and the vocals are guttural and otherworldly.
The band seamlessly weaves together elements of traditional Finnish music with blistering metal riffs, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique. Tracks like "Häjyt tiet" and "Sudenveri" showcase the band's ability to blend melody with aggression, creating a sonic landscape that is as haunting as it is captivating.
Riivi is not for the faint of heart. It demands your attention, and it rewards it in spades. Fans of bands like Behemoth and Watain will find a lot to love here. But even those unfamiliar with the genre will find themselves drawn in by the band's raw energy and unrelenting passion.
In a sea of generic metal bands, HIIDENHAUTA stands out as a true original. Riivi is a triumph of Finnish metal, and a testament to the band's unwavering dedication to their craft. Don't sleep on this album - it's a wild ride from start to finish.

About the artist
Hiidenhauta
Hailing from the frosty forests of Finland, HIIDENHAUTA is the mysterious enigma of the metal scene, shrouded in darkness and cloaked in intrigue. With a sound that oscillates between the blistering fury of black metal and the haunting melodies of folk, HIIDENHAUTA's music is a sonic journey through the depths of the underworld. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Varjo, is a virtuoso of the six strings, conjuring riffs that are as sharp as a Viking axe and as intricate as a Celtic knot. His vocals, a guttural growl that seems to echo from the depths of the abyss, add an air of menace to the band's already foreboding sound. Backing up Varjo is drummer Kalmisto, whose thunderous beats drive the band's relentless assault, and bassist Tuuli, whose rumbling bass lines add an earthy depth to the band's sound. Together, they create a wall of sound that is as immense and impenetrable as the ancient forests that inspired their music. But HIIDENHAUTA is more than just a band - they are a force of nature, a primal scream in the face of modern mediocrity. Their live shows are a spectacle to behold, with the band's members donning eerie masks and costumes that add an air of mystique to their already powerful presence. So if you're craving a taste of the dark and mysterious, look no further than HIIDENHAUTA. Their music is a journey into the unknown, a voyage into the heart of darkness. Enter if you dare.
