I personally do not consider Finland to be a part of Scandinavia per se. Some of the best black metal bands right now are coming out of Finland. Havukruunu draws strong influence from Bathory and Taake, but the best thing about this Finnish bm scene is that they’ve taken the sound and made it distinctly their own. To lump them in as just “you Scandinavians” doesn’t do these bands any justice, because let’s face it, aside from a very select few exceptions, the black metal coming out Norway and Sweden right now is less than impressive. The current Finnish scene stands head and shoulders over the nowadays aforementioned.
@@RautaMetal Finland is NOT part of Scandinavia in fact. There is no point to call Finns Scandinavians after knowing this. There is a lot of other misinformation about Finland circling around. Like Finland being the happiest country in the world, which is 100% bs. Finland is part of Nordic countries, not Scandinavia. If you had lived in northern europe your life you would know the big differences with Scandinavians like Sweden and Norway and Finns but otherwise it's understandably easy to think about them as similar countries and people. One example is the language as Scandinavian countries have same kind of languages and Finnish is a completely different language and Scandinavians usually dont understand it at all. Finnish culture differs a lot as Scandinavians had a stable 20th century, Finland was war-ridden with multiple wars and the big depression in the 90s.
Havukruunu is such an epic band! Their music is very dark and gloomy and yet it has this underlying speed metal element to it (especially the solos!). One of Finland's best BM bands!
The last album is the best Metal record across the BM / DM / Speed Metal genre that I have heard in forever I listen to it every week, and often like twice in a row
I 🖤 Havukruunu and nowadays it's my favorite Pagan BM band. I started listen them at very beginning. Something in their music touches strongly deep inside of me.
Since first discovering Havukruunu, they've become one of my most listened too bands. Top 3 of the last 6 months on Spotify, top 10 of my entire time using the streaming service. Love Finnish Metal! Kippis from Canada!
‘How did you join the band’ is the most asked question since the beginning of rock music. This guy was very cool! I remember that ‘84 interview MTV did with Frank Zappa: *Journalist* ‘So, how did the band get started?’ *Frank* ‘By accident.’ [Long awkward silence] *Journalist* ‘umm..oookay..I guessss..I’ll move on to the next question.’ *Frank* ‘Well, that’s good.’
Considering that the EP came out after the interview, it is definitely different that the last full length. Different, but very good! As they put it themselves. Quorthon EP worship! :D
hello Jerry @RautaMetal! thanks for your work! do you any news/updates about Hamys band?do you plan to make interview with them too? i listened to their LP/EP i think several years ago and was quite impressed, released on Primitive reaction i think.
Great interview cool too see the band, I'd like to see a similar interview in finnish with english subtitles. I imagine they'd be able to communicate about their music better, or not, it can be hard to describe atmospheres and feelings around music. Dope they mentioned Razor as well.
05:37 HAHAHA I play guitar and it's totally trve!!! Sometimes its more than a simply riff and cannot describe that "feeling" or "passion" 😅 Great interview!!!
Really, one of my top fave bands since 2015 - but i must say, these guys have been really hard to listen by, i mean....it looks like they're being bored, tired and dont wanna give a friggin interview. =)
I usually watch this music channel "Sea of Tranquillity" from Hudson Valley...One of the guys there is a big fan of the band. Funny when Americans try to say Havukruunu. It is even hard for us Norwegians
In the early days, I used to think Type O Negative were a bunch of vampires, only to discover later on what a bunch raunchy class clowns they were during interviews LOL

I love Havukruunu! One of my absolutely top 10 bands. Whatever you, Scandinavians, do, you conquer totally. Vikings by heart. Best regards from 🇺🇸

Some consider Finland (and nearby areas) part of Scandinavia, while some don't. Even Wikipedia mentions this :)
@@RautaMetal Some also consider the Earth to be flat, while some don't.
Indeed. Funny.

Since 2015 when I've heared these guys for the first time they became one of my beloved bands. Their every album causes shivers down my spine.
Good interview, I like the band a lot. Cool to the see faces of those who makes the music, even though the music loses some of it's "mystery".
Thanks man!
yay! My favorite band at the moment. Looking forward to watch this interview :)
Havukruunu is such an epic band! Their music is very dark and gloomy and yet it has this underlying speed metal element to it (especially the solos!).
One of Finland's best BM bands!
I really like Havukruunu,they stand among the other bands. Great interview as always🖤 cheers Jerry 🥂
Thank you, Erika!
Such a great band , they have become an influence for my band, last album was incredible 🔥👌🏻🤘🏻🇫🇮
Holy shit, yes finally!!!!! I've been waiting for Rauta to intverview Havukruunu for so long. This makes my fuckin day.
Glad to hear!
Kiitos @Rauta!
My pleasure!
Jerry delivers quality as always! Thanks for the interview!!
Thank you!
Perfect mix of black metal, nature and rock n roll! Pure riffs and energy, nothing better. 🤘🏻
I saw these folks playing in Glasgow before the zombie apocalypse. I must say, great performance live!!!
The last album is the best Metal record across the BM / DM / Speed Metal genre that I have heard in forever

Holy shit, I loved the Rautaa ja tulta EP and then kinda forgot about these guys. Thanks for reminding me, gonna check the newer stuff
My favorite band !!!!! 😍😍😍💖💝💞💓❣️💜💙
The best "new band" right now!
Great band, that is getting better with time.
Great interview again! Love their music and hope for vinyl rereleases 😛
Thank you!

Been listening to these guys a ton lately. Cool interview, man.
Thanks!
I didn't know this band I checked it and Finland always delivers great demon tunes !!
Really good and bit ankward interview as usual. Keep up the good work.
Awkward is my business 8-)
‘How did you join the band’ is the most asked question since the beginning of rock music. This guy was very cool!

Best band going at the moment ⚔️
Thanks again for the very interesting questions Jerry! Now I cannot wait to discover Havukruunu's universe and its music.
Kiitos!
Thanks man.
They remind me of older Moonsorrow, but on steroids. They kickass 🤘🏻
Instant like! Will check out the interview later, but I am sure it is good! ;)
Killer band that seems to just keep getting better with each release, the new EP is stunning.
Really good interview! Good vibes and great questions!
Thank you!
Awesome stuff Rauta, love this band
Great interview Jerry. Havukruunu are quality 🤘🤘
Cheers!
Love this band. Finally got time to watch this interview!
Absolutely KILLER band!
Great work with the band interviews.
Thank you.
Nice one, again. Very natural style of doing a interview. Very very enjoyable.
How about an interview with Miko Aspa?
Thank you very much.
Regarding Mikko Aspa, that is being planned but no date etc. has been set.
@@RautaMetal this would be awesome to see. He's quite a musician, with an unique ear.
Yeah. Let’s see if it happens.
I learned about this band a few months ago, I listened to all their albums and they are a really great band!
On of my favorite all time bands.
Considering that the EP came out after the interview, it is definitely different that the last full length. Different, but very good! As they put it themselves. Quorthon EP worship! :D
Yeah, the interview was done in late August, the EP came out in October, and this interview got out in November. So, a bit weird chronologicallly.
@@RautaMetal Oh I know. ;)
hello Jerry @RautaMetal! thanks for your work! do you any news/updates about Hamys band?do you plan to make interview with them too? i listened to their LP/EP i think several years ago and was quite impressed, released on Primitive reaction i think.
Ave. No idea of their status now. If a possibility presents itself, an interview would be cool to do.
I love the emergency towing cap Stefan is wearing!😹
Great interview cool too see the band, I'd like to see a similar interview in finnish with english subtitles. I imagine they'd be able to communicate about their music better, or not, it can be hard to describe atmospheres and feelings around music. Dope they mentioned Razor as well.
Thanks. Regarding subtitles, whenever a volunteer appears to do those, it will be considered. CZcams can't understand Finnish well enough.
Thank you sir from southtryol!
05:37 HAHAHA I play guitar and it's totally trve!!! Sometimes its more than a simply riff and cannot describe that "feeling" or "passion" 😅
Great interview!!!
Thanks Juan!
Really, one of my top fave bands since 2015 - but i must say, these guys have been really hard to listen by, i mean....it looks like they're being bored, tired and dont wanna give a friggin interview. =)
I might go see them live this week
THIS IS GREAT
I demand havukruunu merch. Take my fucking money!
We didn't hear why is the other guy called Bootleg-Henkka?? :D
Because I failed as a human being.
I usually watch this music channel "Sea of Tranquillity" from Hudson Valley...One of the guys there is a big fan of the band. Funny when Americans try to say Havukruunu. It is even hard for us Norwegians
🙌🙌🙌
Rauta ja tulta!!!
Fuck yessss
One of my favorite bands from finland and great interview but 18:49 haiset ihan viinalle ("you smell like booze" in english) got a laugh out of me :D
Haha! Thanks.
finaly the beer is kicking in a bit jerry :D
Beer kicking in is great! :)
Ja tuostahh
Wow, they seem to be pretty friendly and happy guys! Not the typical “gloomy" personality of Northern Europe haha.
I can confirm that they are great humans, "happy", well we all have our hardships!
@@Naturmacht ;)
In the early days, I used to think Type O Negative were a bunch of vampires, only to discover later on what a bunch raunchy class clowns they were during interviews LOL
@@kramalerav Duh, that was pretty obvious actually.
Rauta is thick 👀👀
Powerlifters usually are.
Is that ozzy osbourne lol
Ozzy + Nocturno Culto= Steffan
This interviewer 🤦♂️
That's what your momma said.
