Finland why is always Finland they are truly one of the most inventive and creative places on this Earth for extreme and avant music . This is Atmospheric Post Black metal on the highest of all orders. I love the very ethereal side that the music creates with that Virus, Code, VBE, Katatonia vibe. Kval is all about the beauty and the nightares and its what the music and gritty vocal style creates for me . I hear so much experimental mayhem and even bands on labels like Prophecy, D.M.P , I,Voidhanger and Third I rex. The tones on Laho are twisted to put it simple and there are these oriental and eastern elements that come in and out that really at times give me that Sigh and Salem vibe. Kval you are even folky at times but not in neoclassical way more in that Pagan/ Midevial thing . Hell you all know what I mean. Love the fragile side that you get through at the album as well. Here is another band that much love Tenhi and Dorenreich as well. I think its really time for you to listen and just adore this album.
