HÄVITTÄJÄT - ILMAN TOIVOA

I once heard these fellas colloquially referred to as "havin' a chat" if that gives you any indication of name's pronunciation. Ripping Finnish style hc played by a cadre of Australians more than equipped to pull it off, could do the whole "members of" bullshit but it's not really necessary for something so specific. It's dark, it's pissed off, it's effective, probably more so than their previous efforts (an LP in 2018); you know what you want with this sort of thing and they deliver it in spades. Real "rainy walk to work" kinda hc but don't get me wrong, this isn't particularly gloomy or despairing, rather they aren't afraid to let some RUDIMENTARY PENI shine through every now and again to give ya something you can move to. Despite these flourishes, the tempo remains high, I'd call it a flawless execution of a style I'm probably not the best to describe, but I do know what I like and it's this.
