MANEN SKA LYSA DIN VAG (BLACK VINYL)

Hailing from Turku, Finland, SVARTA HAVET are set to release their sophomore album, titled M nen ska lysa din v g, via their new label home Prosthetic Records on May 9. On M nen ska lysa din v g, the self-described dyster (gloomy) post-hardcore group cast a critical eye over the negative effects of Western colonialism, capital greed and convenience at the cost of sustainability, presenting a rallying cry for change whilst never losing sight of the light that this world has to offer. Formed in 2018, SVARTA HAVET - translated as 'black sea' - were born from the Finnish DIY punk and hardcore scene, with the members bonding over a shared affinity for punk music and community-first ideals with a focus on antifascist, feminist, trans and queer politics. Where their 2021 debut full-length, JORD/VATTEN, served as an introduction to SVARTA HAVET's amalgam sound of post-metal, hardcore punk and black metal, M nen ska lysa din v g is a deftly woven together panorama of their respective influences and a captivatingly urgent political and compassionately personal case for humanity's course correction.
