<div class="MsoNormal">
...about Kalmonsäie:<br />
<br />
"I’ve also been listening a helluva lot to the dark pagan
excellence of KALMONSÄIE by Finnish trio Tervahäät, whose intriguing
combination of heavy guitars, massed percussion, archaic stringed instruments
and a strong male voiced chorale presents listeners at all times with a hugely
rich music of occasionally atavistic intensity. Cough it up, there! Here
avant-garde sound FX vigorously intrude into frankly clichéd guitar chord
sequences, there monkish choirs from the very edge of Christendom accompany
themselves with whips and chains, elsewhere great tuneless chants are got up
with almost comically earnest fervour ... KALMONSÄIE tramples current musical
boundaries with obvious delight and effortlessness, its removed, icy clarity
resounds with an extreme, almost fjordal stillness."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>- Julian Cope / Head Heritage Drudion</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
"Opening with chanted voice, the second album from Finnish
band Tervahaat is a collection of cold ambient soundscapes that speak of frozen
lands, ritual and Finnish mysticism. Reminding me of Stone Breath in their
atmosphere, the seven tracks use primitive percussion, strings and drones to
summon old Gods, leading the listener deep into the forest, trudging through
endless snow in search of ancient wisdom. Throughout the music is beautifully
judged, never overwhelming, the sounds carefully blended, allowing the essence
of the song to shine through.. ... Filled with longing, the melodies will
entwine around you, leaving you shattered long after the sound has faded
revealing a beauty so rare that it seems to come from the land itself."</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>
- Terrascope / Simon Lewis</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
"This past October, Tervahäät returned with Kalmonsäie, a beautifully packaged
six-panel digipak, which also came with a new face for the project. Shedding
their previous hyperabstraction, the duo of Antero Kaarna and Ilmari Akkanen
have added a new layer of structure to their previously amorphous project
which, though taking away from the group's initial mystique, gives them more
space to grow. Utilizing primitive tribal percussion and rhythmic bass lines,
Kalmonsäie manifests itself as a completely different beast, highlighting this
duo's songwriting talent. Tonally, we find a distinction between the often
harsh, distorted instrumentation and rich, crystal clear vocal recordings (save
the black metal inspired "Lumelleluvattu"). The already tinny nature
of the oft-used banjo is suddenly dragged through the most glorious bed of
glass dust and counteracts the "perfect" feel of the voice. ...
Tervahäät is one of those hidden gems in neofolk which will, without a doubt in
my mind, pose as an immediate challenge to the casual listener, but closer
listening unveils infinite depth, perfectionism, and reverence."<br />
<b>
- The Inarguable / Jon Rosenthal</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
"They are here again. Wandering troubadours Antero Kaarna and Ilmari Riimu shaked the Finnish (neo)folk territories with their shapeless but oddly hypnotizing debut album a couple years ago, and Kalmonsäie is another walk into the old Finnish landscapes and mindscapes. This time their approach is a bit more concrete, and chants, percussions and occasional electric guitars give a few guidelines to a listener to follow their path. ... The vocals steal the main part on Kalmonsäie. A cappella Marrasvirsi (A November Hymn) starts the album daringly but oh so touchingly, and also the last song Saattaja (Pallbearer) and its few lyric lines flatten your mind splendidly. ...Kalmonsäie is – as the debut was – an honest and original portrait of a darker side of a Finnish mind."</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>- Kaleidoscope / Antti Klemi</b><br />
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b><br /></b>"...Aleksis Kiven päivänä julkaistu kakkosalbumi <i>Kalmonsäie</i> osoittaa, että kaksikko Kaarna-Riimu ei ole jäänyt kiertämään kehää vaan jatkanut matkaansa eteenpäin. Kalmonsäie on siis erilainen levy kuin edeltäjänsä. Omalla tavallaan se on selkeämpi kokonaisuus, joka koostuu selkeämmistä kappaleista: mandoliinit, sähkökitarat ja perkussiot luovat rajatumpia muotoja, ja myös laulujen kohdalla kuljetaan nyt vahvemmin ja melodisemmin kuin ennen. ... Kalmonsäie aukeaa ehkä uusille kuulijoille helpommin, mutta millään tavoin kompromisseja tekevä levy se ei ole. Yhtye osoittaa olevansa omaperäinen olento, ja odotukset Suomen itsenäisyyspäivänä julkaistavalle <i>Patria</i>-levylle nousevat entisestään."</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>- Imperiumi / Antti Klemi</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
"Ur-Folk umschreibt die dort produzierte und vertriebene
Musik wohl ganz gut; eine raue, naturnahe und erdige Folkvariante mit einem
starken Bewusstsein für die finnische Landschaft und deren Geschichten. Hinter
Tervahäät verbergen sich Mikko Pöyhönen (unter anderem auch der Macher von PYHÄ
KUOLEMA) sowie Labelchef Juha Jaakko-Antero Kaarna Kettunen selbst. Er hat in
unserem Gespräch die Arbeit von Tervahäät so beschrieben:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>"Ritueller und spiritueller Neofolk gemischt mit
unheimlichem Ambient, außerdem mit Verweisen auf Industrial, Skiffle und vieles
andere. Es geht häufig um Themen wie Animismus, Atavismus, gemeinschaftliches
finnisches Nationalwissen, Spirituelles und Natur. [...] Zwei neue
Vollzeitalben werden wohl am Ende des Jahres (2012) erscheinen. Eines von
beiden, "Patria", wie vielleicht schon am Albumtitel abzulesen ist,
wird sich am klassischen Neofolk orientieren. "Kalmonsäie", das
zweite, geht eher in die Richtung des Debüts, also arbeitet mit Ambient und
'ländlichem' Folk."</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
... Mikko und Juha beschäftigen sich wie erwähnt viel mit
Atavismus, also dem Durchschlagen längst verloren geglaubter Verhaltensweisen,
Eigenschaften. Und so klingt auch diese CD: Wie Rituale, wie Verweise auf eine
vergangene Zeit. Obwohl Tervahäät nichts mit Melancholie zu tun haben wollen,
stellt sich diese beim Hören unweigerlich ein. In einer englischen Review des
selbstbetitelten Debüts hat der Autor sehr schön resümiert, dass er sich beim
Hören wie in einer vergessenen Blockhütte mitten in den finnischen Wäldern
fühle, das Rauschen der Bäume höre und den kalten Wind spüre, der die Geister
der Toten trägt. Auch der Nachfolger "Kalmonsäie" verkörpert eine
solch fantastische Atmosphäre, die nach Waldboden, Vergangenheit und der
Einsamkeit und Weite Finnlands riecht. Zu diesem urigen Ambiente trägt
natürlich auch die kantige, finnische Sprache bei."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>- Nonpop / Michael We</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
"È cosa naturale e logica che siano immagini di freddi
paesaggi scandinavi ad accompagnare il concept di questo duo finlandese, poiché
il suono di Tervahäät racchiude in sé quel gelo che rende affascinante anche il
più rigido degli inverni. Glaciali sì, ma non come usano fare certe black metal
band a quelle latitudini, bensì con un approccio ancestrale al folk
tradizionale delle proprie lande d'origine, dotato di forti tratti mistici e
rituali, ma dalle nervature primitive e legate alla Terra. ... Nuovamente con
una strumentazione sia elettrica che acustica, fra percussioni, corde e
strumenti costruiti in proprio, il duo delinea ora trame molto più pregnanti, e
dopo il buon incipit corale a cappella "Marrasvirsi" tocca a "Kalmonsäe"
proiettare il suono verso eredità ancestrali e respiri di secolare ritualità,
prima che un evocativo canto epico - di nuovo a cappella, ma stavolta in
solitaria - la conduca al termine. Se le urla straziate che poggiano sui
riverberi elettrici della chitarra in "Lumelleluvattu" sono una
parentesi particolarmente cruda, "Otsontanssi" si dipana invece con
fare sciamanico, ipnotica e lisergica, con un cantato perfettamente funzionale
al forte magnetismo sprigionato. La gelida ed incessante mestizia di
"Huolainniekka" avvolge col suo piglio dolente, prima che gli
strumenti cedano di nuovo il passo alla vocalità a cappella, stavolta per un
intreccio di canti di magnifica fattura ed immane pathos, per un momento
toccante che è senza dubbio uno dei punti più alti dell'intero dischetto.
Deliziosa anche la dolcezza di canto e chitarra acustica nella breve
"Ylisillä", ma il meglio viene riservato per il finale: la conclusiva
"Saattaja", da principio greve e mesta, lascia posto ad un arpeggio
di estrema delicatezza e sentimento, cui si sposa un altro cantato
perfettamente funzionale alla causa (è il caso di dire che la voce non è più un
limite come ai tempi dell'esordio), per un brano che dimostra una volta in più
quanta bellezza possa annidarsi nella semplicità. Testi rigorosamente in
finlandese ed elegante confezione digipak a sei ante per questo bel ritorno che
fa registrare per i Tervahäät un netto ed importante passo in avanti, grazie al
quale si spera possano attirare le dovute attenzioni fra gli estimatori del
folk a tinte scure..."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second album of Tervahäät titled "<i>Kalmonsäie</i>" will be released in September, and the third album titled "<i>Patria</i>" will be released on Finnish independence day 6th of December.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Kalmonsäie</i> will continue on the path of the self-titled album. Freezing and eerie avantgarde folk and ambient soundscapes are brought forth with the aid of primitive ritualistic percussions and home-made instruments. On this album the unique wintry sound of Tervahäät collides with solemn and noble chants, resulting in singular aural opus of esoteric Finnish mysticism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With <i>Patria </i>Tervahäät takes a leap towards traditional neofolk. Somber songs are based on warm vocals, determined acoustic guitarwork, and samples of Finnish classical composers. About half of the lyrics of the songs are borrowed from Finnish poets and writers who also loved our homeland each in their own specific ways. <i>Patria</i> is a concept album of our fatherland Finland seen through the eyes of the duo Tervahäät.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When typing this shortish piece of info, <i>Kalmonsäie </i>is on the skillful hands in the stage of final mastering (you can find the sample songs from <i>Kalmonsäie </i>from the <i><a href="http://www.animaarctica.fi/index.php?pid=3" target="_blank">Anima Arctica Radio</a></i>), last pieces of <i>Patria </i>are finding their places, and the fourth album - under a working title <i>Taival </i>- is steadily taking its form.</div>

AUER-010 / 400x / 12.12.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<strong> Virta</strong> is the channel of the musical ambitions of <em>Santtu Forsström</em> hailing from Kristiinankaupunki - alluring small town located at the beautiful West Coast of Finland. This nature-praising and original music draws its influences from folk and progressive folk-rock, and the music of five tracks of this fourty-minute album is woven together with drums, percussions, lively bass, acoustic guitars and woodwind instruments.<br />
<br />
Skillful instrumentation and the progressive elements and song structures create an atmosphere that is at the same time sophisticated and primitively vigorous. "Elon syvä lempi" is rich in nuances, and full of feeling of longing and ethereal calmness. Combined with the ever-present feeling of the element of unpredictability the album truly bears resemblances to the streams and rivers of the North. The calm waters under thin ice can suddenly form a stream and powerful river might abruptly give away it's power, and rest for a while in a form of pond smooth as glass and evaporate slowly just to reincarnate in a from of a strom cloud to the horizon. "Elon syvä lempi" was released 12.12. (1st press 400 pc.) and contains artwork of Samuli Kontio and Eva-Maria Aitsam.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Virta</span> on kristiinankaupunkilaisen <span style="font-style: italic;">Santtu Forsström</span>in kanava musiikillisille hengentuotteilleen, ja 12.12. 2011 julkaistu esikoislevy kantaa nimeä "<span style="font-style: italic;">Elon syvä lempi</span>". Suomeksi laulettu luonnonläheisyyttä huokuva omaleimainen musiikki ammentaa aineksia mm. folkista ja progressiivisesta folk-rockista, ja rönsyilee rumpujen, perkussioiden, kielisoittimien ja huilujen siivittämänä halki tämän neljäkymmentäminuuttisen levyn viiden kappaleen. <br />
Taidokkaasti toteutettu instrumentaatio, ja progressiiviset elementit ja kappalerakenteet luovat levylle hienostuneen, mutta tinkimättömän alkuvoimaisen tunnelman. "Elon syvä lempi" on polveileva, kaikessa harkitussa viileydessään eteerisen kaunis, ja täynnä lämmintä kaihoa ja kunnioitusta herättävää arvaamattomuutta - aivan kuin pohjoisen joet, vuot ja virrat. Jäisen riitteen alla lepäävät suvantovaiheet saattavat yht'äkkiä muodostaa puron, joka hetkessä kerää tarpeeksi voimaa muuttuakseen pärskähteleväksi koskeksi, ja vastaavasti tulviva voimaisa vuo saattaa yllättäen luopua vimmastaan ja levähtää hyvän aikaa peilityynenä lampena vain haihtuakseen hiljaa myrskyä enteileväksi pilveksi horisonttiin. "Elon syvä lempi" on julkaistu 12.12. 2011 400kpl painoksena Samuli Kontion ja Eva-Maria Aitsamin kuvataiteella ryyditettynä.<br />

The ruins of <i>Tuhat Kuolemaa Sekunnissa</i> left behind were still smoking when something new, beautiful and fresh started already grow from there. The death of the duo <i>Tuhat Kuolemaa Sekunnissa </i>was also the birth of <i>Pyhä Kuolema</i> - a birth of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an extremely intimate, emotional, personal, and spiritual solo-project. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="FI" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Traditional to the bone, but still clearly finding it’s own sound despite the classic<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>”man+guitar” approach, <i>Pyhä Kuolema</i> debut album ”Saavun vaikken kulkisi” brings forth a dozen of atmospheric, national romantic, extremely emotional and personal songs sung in Finnish. The style of playing and singing varies from solemn ritualistic neofolk-songs to troubadur-like playful approach to traditional folk. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="FI" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Despite the fact that he is also a quarter of the neofolk-lounge band<i> MAA</i>, and half of the gloomy neofolk and freezing ritual music duo <i>Tervahäät</i>, he is still driven by so such a great urge to create, that new songs for <i>Pyhä Kuolema </i>are found frequently. He composed, sung, played, recorded and mixed the whole album by himself, giving it the intimate touch and manages the handling of the double edged sword that this kind of folk can be – the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sometimes even rough and stripped down output with no gimmicks is this time succesfully shaking hands with the alluring soft intensity.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

<em>Clergy of Oneiros</em><br />
Anima Arctica, 2007<br />
Review by Henry Lauer<br />
<br />
True to their name, Finnish experimentalists Somnivore have served up a dream-laden sonic voyage with their album <em>Clergy of Oneiros</em>. Using found sounds, samples, noisescapes, and a stately sense of drama, they’ve created an unsettling, absorbing, and subtle piece of otherworldly work.<br />
In essence the soundtrack for a shamanic journey, the music weaves fragments of classical music, noise, chanting, percussion, some truly unique mouth harp, and all sorts of recognizable (and not) samples. The tapestry of sound flows smoothly, freely…yet also with that disjointed, constant segue that dreams exemplify.<br />
If the overall effect, therefore, is something that could be called dark ambient music, then so be it. Atmosphere is the order of the day, but the album doesn’t conjure dark horizons so much as the mercurial landscape of inner space and occult vision. Whether Gothic choirs, whirring buzzes, ritualistic drumming, or enigmatic, softly-spoken word, Somnivore never ceases in its hazy ramble through the landscape of the midnight hour.<br />
This is an album for dreamers, trance-explorers, and mystics. It feels primal, like a lake buried deep beneath the earth, cold and still and resonant with the distant sounds filtering through the Underworld. Although there is enough repetition and structure to keep the ear engaged, the album continually opens and closes doors into dreaming and forgetfulness. At times it can be an unsettling experience.<br />
<em>Clergy of Oneiros</em> is not for every listener, being clad in shadow and eerie gloom. As an aid for trance, meditation, and inner exploration, however, it seems extremely well suited. Recommended for those with an ear for atmosphere, magic, and liminality of mood.<br />
