Väki – Kuolleen Maan Omaksi CD

“Now this is some shit that has my head banging from the first riff! It’s the new offering from Finnish Black Metal horde VÄKI called Kuolleen Maan Omaksi (Succumbed to the Dead Soil) and it has me damning all the gods! There’s a seedy, groovy rock ‘n roll underbelly that I absolutely adore, but it’s layered under that swarm of locusts feel that makes black metal so ghastly…Right here and now, hit play on our exclusive track stream and let VÄKI decapitate you with their razor-sharp riffage!”

Yet even in that dire and oppressive opening movement the music displays a kind of terrible magnificence, a dramatic power that’s gripping”
