Mavo - Demon Tree Lamentation

Old World Irredenta

@oldworldirredenta.bsky.social

This thing is soon three years old. Takamaa attempts to merge "harsh noise, bright spaces and tranquil, though distorted, melodies." There has been a few other releases since, but this first EP turned out surprisingly minimalistic despite the pronounced noisiness.

Quite liking the new 1914 album. Also, "1919 (The Home Where I Died)" is a wonderful song, especially in context. I found it a respectful way to ponder the parallels between the current situation and not-so-distant past in this part of the world.

Havukruunu's lesser known EP from 2014.

"Kun tähdet syttyvät taivaankannen mustaan /
ja yö nostaa kuun lyhdyn hohtamaan /
Korkealla piirtyy vasten kajoa isieni koti, joka taivaisiin kurkottaa."

Respect your local nature, comrades. It will be hosting you in the end.

Crazy American influencers happily cozying up to (or by) Russia and China. Wild. At least it's a good time again to remind to make noise, not empires.

For the next few days, the whole Mavo discography (1919 - 2025) only 10* eurobucks!

A new Mavo release, "Will the amulets ward off what the masks could not?" It's a 15 minute ambient noise/drone track pondering the limits of art's ability to ward off evil spirits. :(

For all the bläck metal nerds who missed it, Mgła just released a song that was apparently originally meant to be included in Exercises in Futility.

Mostly for some need to pretend to have a website, but also for Bandcamp supposedly leaving Paypal, I've set up this page for OWI releases. So far only a few albums there. Here's the latest Mavo release "Haavemeri" as an example:

No idea who made this, or what's the exact context in which this video came about, but here we have the first fan-made Mavo AMV. (Perhaps not exactly from a fan, but I appreciate the hustle either way.)
