Veljessurma are a band from Finland that plays a very atmospheric, epic and folk influenced form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Haltiossaan" which will be released in may by Naturmacht Productions.
Battle horns and nature sounds start off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clear vocals and acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of songs and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with some growls also being utilized at times. Throat singing can also be heard briefly as well as some of the tracks also being very long and and epic in length, throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover nature and folklore themes.
In my opinion Veljessurma are a very great sounding epic, atmospheric and folk influenced black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nieranpoika" "Kuollut vesi" and "Haltiossaan". 8 out of 10.
