Finnish black metal duo Sarvekas has announced 26 May as the release date for its debut album, Woven Dark Paths, coming out via Soulseller Records.
Sarvekas was formed in late 2018 in Southern Finland. Its style is mostly melodic and epic, yet crushing and furious. The atmospheres in its music range from harsh, dark and desolate, cold and yet hauntingly beautiful feelings to raging moments of pure fury. Sarvekas combines all this into a momentum of sinister and epic black metal woven with heathenry, Scandinavian mythology, and devotion to the dark.
Sarvekas signed a record deal with Soulseller Records in 2020, and the band's first release, the Of Atavistic Fury & Visions EP, was released in December 2020. The reception and the reviews were good, and the band immediately started to compose new songs for their full-length debut. In May, Sarvekas will release that first full-length, Woven Dark Paths. The eight-song/48-minute album is about delving into dark ancient rites, bloodletting for the forefathers and true Nordic spirit, as well as philosophy through ancient Nordic beliefs. With preternatural ease, Sarvekas transports the listener to ancient times: both the glorious 1990s, with their incredibly era-authentic style and more so the times long, long before that, visual and violent in equal measure. References to be made include the cult likes of Isvind, Norway's Perished, Mithotyn, and equally early Kampfar and Thyrfing - but already, upon evidence of Woven Dark Paths, Sarvekas is well on its way to etching its own legendry. Currently, the band is focusing on making live performances possible while at the same time composing new music.
The first track is coming shortly. Stay tuned! Link
