“2025 is rolling along at a disturbingly brisk pace, and because of this (and through no fault of our own), we find ourselves a few months behind with our Record(s) o’ the Month pieces.” Note that AMG uses “we” when failing and “I” when succeeding.

Havukruunu – Tavastland Review
“Be it the melodic interludes, big Viking choirs, or endless riff changes, Havukruunu continues to bring inspiration with each new record. Which, as hinted at, is difficult to do with a style that has been around since the ’80s and ’90s. And it’s no different for this year’s Tavastland. It’s a fifty-plus-minute journey of Viking and metal culture that’ll have you banging your head, swimming in oceans of melodic beauty, and barking out anthems of an ancient time never forgotten.” Everything’s runed.
