NEWS ON HAVOK´s UPCOMING ALBUM - "STATUES OF SISYPHUS"

The mighty HAVOK are set to record their second album "Statues of Sisyphus unveiled", that will be released through ViciSolum Productions late 2010.

Below you can read a message from the band!

"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this Sun of ours. After over a year of tensions, ruptures, struggles, and a staggering amount of intense work, time has now come to reveal the title of HAVOK's sophomore full-length album.

STATUES OF SISYPHUS represents to us the experience of human existence. With others, with ourselves. The cyclical rise and fall, the Ourobouros of meaninglessness and mundanity. What we are, what we were, what we will remain. A worn philosophical symbol perhaps, but none the less potent, none the less real as it has been proved to us over and over again.

The music we will present to you is a logical continuation of our earlier works, as well as a massive leap forward, in all directions. Extreme? Yes; over-the-top velocities, stupefying guitar work and insane vocals guaranteed. Progressive? In several senses. Death Metal? In lack of better terms, yes. The album will be produced by Andreas Wiberg (previous member of The Shattering) in coalition with ourselves, and released by ViciSolum Productions as 2010 falls (say, November). A few of the song titles are: "Linear Existence", "The Glacial Face", "Grey Eyes, Golden Skin", "Carver Of Lies", and "Unventured Thoughts".
We are set to commence the drum production on March 22. More information will be revealed as we go along."

Stay angry,
/the HAVOK crew

Finally The Electronic Masterpice - NANUH "SCARS" - are now released in Scandinavia!

These are the highs and the lows, like the exquisite depression in a last lullaby sung from a black bottomless pit, presented to you by the Swedish electronic phenomenon Nanuh. Flanked at one corner of the debut album lies the true and the naked and in the other – the dark and suicidal. Between these rugged bookends lies the warm smell of a homemade apple pie. Everything spiced with a touch of sleepless nights, wondering days and loads of coffee. This is ”Scars” – the debut album from Linköping Sweden based musician Lars Söderberg, a.k.a. Nanuh – which, in its swirling depths and thoughts promises to be one of this year’s surprises in the experimental electronic music department.
  Scars is the realization of thoughts put in to words, beautiful melodies and powerful beats - its many swift and unexpected turns, rhythmic variations and odd placing makes it a small shiny diamond among similar creations. Or, in other words, a delightful piece of machinery that demands to be heard.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO BUY IT AT:  CDON  GINZA  BENGANS  OR  MEGASTORE


European release date are set to February 5th 2010

The first reviews for Havok´s upcoming album "Being and Nothingness" can be read below


Havok - Being and Nothingness (Vicisolum) Live 4 Metal - Review by Chris Davison

It's all too easy to develop a kind of worn cynicism as a reviewer, particularly with the accompanying blurbs that record companies send out with their new shiny discs. I suppose it would be too much to ask for the truth, as “this band exists on recycled Metallica and Anthrax riffs and wouldn't know an original idea if it was sent to them gift-wrapped and by recorded delivery” wouldn't shift many units. Just occasionally though, you can sift through the grit and murk of the record company bollocks and find a pearl of truth. Swedish record company Vicisolum describe Havok as “one of Europe's most interesting extreme metal bands”. By jove, I think they could be right.

Having only been in existence since 2006, it's all the more remarkable that the Swedish five piece could have produced an album so accomplished, so interesting and so arresting that it literally blows most other modern death metal acts out of the water. They have, in “Being and Nothingness” produced extreme metal so textured that the only really comparable modern acts are erm...Textures and Gojira. This isn't some gnarly old school death metal, for sure, but while it packs the brutality and technicality now common place in modern extreme metal, it also has a side order of intellectual engagement and progressive touches that lift them above the general run of other bands. The riffing and pummelling drums are are as heavy as you will find in almost any other brutal death metal band. The vocals, while growled and deep, aren't as undecipherable as with many other bands, while still retaining an air of menace and dread.
It's the “other” elements of the music that make this a “must-purchase”. Whether it is the sudden appearance of an acoustic passage within the song, or a dizzying, spiralling passage that brings to mind vertigo and being out of control (as with the jaw dropping “Paramount”), this is like putting the best parts of technical metal like Decapitated in a blender with the thoughtful progression of Textures. The production is particularly impressive, being expansive and atmospheric on the open sections of music, but then also being able to impress a feeling of constriction and oppression on the more constrained, blasting sections. Unusually for a death metal band, the lyrics are also incredibly thought provoking, and the presentation of the CD package stunning in both artwork and presentation.
Before I gush any more, let me just say this – if you like challenging, crushing heavy metal that relies on brains as much as brawn, then “Being and Nothingness” is an essential purchase for 2009.


Havok - Being And Nothingness (Vicisolum Productions) Zware Metalen - by Martijn van den Beukel

De combinatie tussen Deicide, Suffocation, Opeth en Meshuggah? Havok! Deze omschrijving verzin ik niet zelf, het is een promopraatje van Vicisolum Productions. Het heugelijke nieuws is alleen dat het behoorlijk klopt. Met de deur in huis vallend meld ik dan ook dat Being And Nothingness een (debuut)plaat van jewelste is.

Gevarieerd, effectief, vakkundig en enorm bruut. Havok in een notendop. Ik moet toegeven dat mijn verwachtingen niet hoog waren. Het vriendelijk ogende hoesje, de brave uitstraling van de bandleden en het feit dat ze op wat demo's na nog weinig van zich hebben laten horen, waren daar de redenen van. Een luisterbeurt later stond ik hier heel anders tegenover. Na de wat oosters klinkende intro Avaye Penhan is het beuken geblazen met deze schijf. Opvallend is dat dit vijftal geen gigantisch technische dingen uit de kast haalt. Dat er wel sprake is van bovengemiddeld kwalitatief vakmanschap moge echter duidelijk zijn. Luister maar eens naar een beuker in de vorm van Iniquity, dan hoor je meteen dat ook zanger Johan Bergström uit het juiste hout is gesneden. Hoe zit dat dan met die vergelijking met Opeth? Hiervoor raad ik je onder andere The Monsoon aan als luistertip. Tussen de drumsalvo's en het gitaargeweld door schakelt de band namelijk regelmatig over op een wat progressiever geluid. De mannen houden de originaliteit en intensiteit gelukkig goed in balans door dit soort fratsen niet àl te vaak uit te voeren.

Tijd voor een rustpunt met Monologue With The Sky. Rustgevende pianotonen laden de luisteraar op voor een nieuwe spurt aan ratelend geweld. Hierna bereikt Being And Nothingness namelijk een van zijn vele hoogtepunten. Dit keer met Century Of The Deviant, die vrij weinig van me heel laat. Naar mate het einde bevat deze track ook zeer fraai soleerwerk van de heren gitaristen. Het is duidelijk dat de tweede helft van dit album het vooral moet hebben van bruutheid. Met name door de productie heeft drummer Johan Cronqvist een hoofdrol op deze plaat, een eervolle vermelding is dan ook niet overbodig.

Nog een luistertip? The Ambulant Plague Of Humans, gestoord gewoon! Al met al is deze plaat een dikke aanrader voor iedereen met enige vorm van affiniteit voor death metal. Kopen!

Score: 90/100



Havok - Being And Nothingness (Vicisolum Productions) Metal.de - by Johannes.Schmuck

HAVOK – ein Bandname, den es fast in jedem Land mindestens einmal gibt, welcher also schon etwas beinahe Alltägliches darstellt. Zerstörung gibt’s auch überall und genügend, doch wohl nirgends wird sie musikalisch schöner zelebriert als in Schweden. Beispiele schwedischer Todesbleikunst brauche ich hier wohl nicht geben, denn selbst wenn ich die meiner Meinung nach wichtigsten Vertreter aufliste, werden aus allen Ecken Einwürfe kommen, diese oder jene Kombo gehöre noch unbedingt dazu.

Zurück zu HAVOK. Sein und Nichtsein liegen nahe beieinander – Das Album ist vor allem eins: heftig. Und das Album ist eines nicht: eintönig.
Fast fühlt man sich ein wenig an CRYPTOPSY erinnert, betrachtet man die rasante Geschwindigkeit, die irrwitzigen Gitarrenläufe, die melodisch-akustischen Zwischenspiele, welche zwar manchmal nur Sekundenbruchteile in Anspruch nehmen, aber einen Hallo-Wach-Effekt erster Güte bieten. Trotzdem schaffen es HAVOK, nie in die aberwitzigen, labyrinthischen Verschachtelungen zu verfallen, die CRYPTOPSY seit jeher für einen Großteil der Ottonormalmetaller und Personen mit gesundem Menschenverstand schier unhörbar machten. In jedem Song finden sich griffige Riffs und unmenschlich wirkendes Schlagzeuggeprügel, welches aber nie stumpf durch die Botanik rattert, sondern auch genügend Fills zum Stirnrunzeln, zurückspulen und nochmals anhören bietet.

Auch die Growls bewegen sich in angenehmen, mittleren bis tiefen Regionen, wirken nicht wie Todesschreie eines stark erkälteten Gorillas sondern wütend-kontrolliert, ohne arg arrhythmische Ausbrüche. Apropos Ausbrüche: die Songs bewegen sich durchwegs auf konstantem Niveau äußerst weit oben, der einzige (zumindest stilistische) “Ausbruch“, der festzustellen ist, ist “Monologue With The Sky“, ein vierminütiges Instrumental auf einem alten, verstimmten Klavier, welches aber eine dermaßen schräge, geisterhafte Atmosphäre erzeugt, dass es sich unauslöschlich einbrennt in ein von der Band vorher sturmreif geballertes Gehirn.
Wie auch immer, der absolute, ultimative Überhammer-Song fehlt auf diesem Album noch – was aber nicht heißt, dass diese Band dazu nicht fähig wäre.

Dieses Album ist ein Glanzmoment des technischen Death Metal, das fast alles bietet, wofür man diese Musik liebt

Punkte: 8/10
