"The newest Tervahäät album reeks of swamps, ghosts and murky soil. This could be the most bizarre Tervahäät album so far. Never had they dwelled so knee-deep in bogs of delirium and undead. Singular rhytmical and melodical presence interwines to improvisation and sheer madness. Crude home-made instruments and rough-hewn electric manipulation join the more common instruments to invoke ghastly sounds straight from the mists of the graves, deep forests and swamps. Noitanaama staggers around the borders of folk and industrial never really setting its dirty foot on any genre. This is on the well known gloomy side of Tervahäät except even more dark, eerie and wrapped in scent of corpses and lunacy... but never, never ever without the small but bright glimpses of light and hope.

PYHÄ KUOLEMA: "Uusi panssaroitu Suomi" The third album of this vital act will draw another full chapter in Finnish folk & neofolk with vigorous blood. Expect more varied instrumentation and approach, with the usual fingerprint of Finnish spirit.
KEY: tba EP Old tracks from the time of building the never-released third album will be released. Five tracks of the newer melodic and more refined style of Key.
TERVAHÄÄT: "Murronmaa" The sound of Tervahäät performing live differ a lot from the sound of the releases. The songs themselves have different instrumentation, arrangements and general feel. Recorded deep in the forest of the lands of their ancestors, this album will bring forth yet another side of the sound and spirit of this unique group.
TERVAHÄÄT: "Virtus" Virtus is the continuation of the "Neofolk Finland" trilogy that "Patria" started in 2012.
