Kivimetsän Druidi - Update From The Band


Finnish symphonic folk metallers Kivimetsän Druidi will be releasing their debut album entitled "Shadowheart" [cover] in October 2008.

17.10.2008 Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy.

I'm very curious. I have their EP and a demo, and... these weren't very good but promising they can develop.

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.

Not bad. Sounds like Turisas with a female vocalist. Good melodies but they definitely need more of the heavy vocals.

It sounds horrible. Believe me.

I agree, the album was simply horrible. It was like any of the countless other "fantasy" folk/power metal bands lacking catchiness or anything distinctive. Well, that's not entirely true. They have a distinctive side, which is the horrible off-key female howling that makes you want to punch babies.

Oh yeah and I also lol'd at the cover art. Looks like some questionable fashion show.
