by Väki

supported by

SANDRA.N.696 Finnish BM band Väki.Defined as “a musical act embodying the profound manifestations of death, impurity and chaos, dedicated to capture the darkests aspects of reality”, examining “aspects of our existence that revolve around suffering, depression, hate and melancholy”.Delving into those dark depths became evident with debut demo Kirousin 2017.They were capable of taking you to many different places,there was bleak grandeur.Crushing desolation and blinding ferocity in those compositions.
10/10 Favorite track: Kuoleman Sakeet.

Slug. Finnish discordant madness with unique vocals. Highly enjoyable and recommended!

ekkkva Superb record. The vocals are amazingly good, the riffs really have something special to them, true hidden gem here.

Their tape is also very well made, I highly suggest buying it to support them ! Favorite track: Kirous.

translated to English.. I - Verses of Death Cleanse this world from filth Sow the seed of fear into our souls Let there be death Rotten flesh Coagulated blood Spoiled bread and wine Set our table Toast to the end of this world Our lord - Death Our saviour - Morbid flesh Messiah - Mind numbed by insanity Redeemer - Herald of fury Destroy everything untrue from this world Repellent life, spurious liberty Tear this sick mind from its bowl Release this empty and worthless soul from its slavery

Translated to English... II - The Curse Our legacy will be left here The curse for us to bear Only in oblivion In death We can rest I lift my head up I am cursed I will never gain peace I have made my choice To death To oblivion Keep the silent crows on my side Lay down my hands now Chant the rituals for the eternal abyss The flame burning in my heart After my passing There remains Only the curse My only legacy My silent companion In the cold silent emptiness My resting place Forsake me Forget me

about

" there is bleak grandeur as well as crushing desolation and blinding ferocity in these compositions, and that’s part of what makes them so powerfully attractive."

"Within the bands brew of darkness and chaos are some clear elements of modern, dissonant flowing black metal. But the vocal approach contains something more primitive and savage..."

" It’s insane to think that this is Väki’s debut release but the two songs present on “Kirous” give you mere taste of wha’s surely to come from the band. Excellent!"

A whirlwind of haunting and spectral shadows, Finland's Vaki ushers in a triumphant return to the cold atmospheres of the past while forging new realms in the great void. Chaos melded perfectly with a focused intent to punish, only so much that you are taken to the brink of, without fully realizing, self-annihilation. Tradition waging war against innovation for the unholy wretched soul of black metal. Submission is the only allowance.

Väki define themsleves as "a musical act embodying the profound manifestations of death, impurity and chaos, dedicated to capture the darkests aspects of reality."

They continue, stating:
“We strive to create both emotionally and technically strong musical pieces with influential core message. Our music examines aspects of our existence that revolve around suffering, depression, hate and melancholy. Exploration and endorsement of these aspects enables growth and gain of a deeper understanding of the universe.
Embracing death, we speak to our audience through our art, awakening the spirits and archetypes of death.”

Having self-released their 2 song demo digitally, via iTunes, Spotify, etc, on October13th, Väki were quickly spotted by us here at Redefining Darkness. We enjoyed the demo so much, that we collectively decided to put a very special, limited edition cassette of their demo, "Kirous", with very special packaging created by a fellow Fin at Primeval Vision (www.primevalvision.com). Each cassette package was silk-screened individually by hand on matte black cardboard. It came out absolutely stunning! See for yourself in the pictures provided.

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Incredible how one man can compose such a thing. Beautiful. Today's one-man bands (or projects) are to me contemporary composers comparable to those from the old times like Wagner, plus they are their own orchestra... WolfGang
