The man behind Metsän alttari, Janeski, comments:
“The debut album consists of seven songs with themes ranging from heroic to gloomy and blissful. Most of the songs are made between 2023-2024 but some of the material is much older and has been refined afterwards.
The songs have nuances of folk music spiced with the darkness of black metal and the grandeur of power metal. They also contain beautiful melodies, evil riffs, growls, epic choruses and poetic Finnish lyrics.”
Joni Kantoniemi from Inverse Records comments:
“When I listened to the album for the first time, I was very impressed by the atmosphere and it was great to see that there are still new bands coming out that are honourably following in the footsteps of Finnish folk metal legends like Moonsorrow, Ensiferum and Finntroll. Highly recommended!”
