“The new full-length finds the Hyvink” five-piece well assured of their aesthetic and what they want to be as a band, the kind of doom they want to make and just how much classic and cult heavy rock they want to put into it. The answer to that last question seems to be ‘a lot.’ More even than their EP or the split, “” places itself next to the heavy of old, sonically, and as a result, atmospherically. The prevalent organ of Tomi Korpela alongside the guitar of Juha K’ykk’ keeps that feeling consistent throughout the record, and between the inventive blues rhythms of bassist Mika Pajula and new drummer Jarno Jaakkola and the woeful wails of vocalist Janne Salo, their classical allegiances come through loud and proud as one of their central defining characteristics.”
“‘s first full-length displays a band grown into a tight unit. The material is somewhat removed from the doom metal approach of “Songs From The Convent” and showcases more of their love for prog and hard rock rooted in the ’70s, such as Uriah Heep, Deep Purple or Atomic Rooster, along with blues-based heavy rock ‘ la early Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Warhorse and Iron Claw. So there is still heaviness here, they merely traded the obvious doom metal leanings for an exciting mix of bluesy doom and gloom, combined with psychedelic and rocking grooves with enchantingly catchy melodies, and crowned by the remarkable voice of Janne Salo and the Hammond organ and keyboard of Tomi Korpela.”
