Haapoja - Haapoja (2013)


Haapoja are a relatively new hardcore project from Finland. With only a demo released in 2011, I wasn't sure what to expect from this self-released full length. this groovy blackened hardcore outfit incorporates guitar licks reminiscent of bands like Melechesh, Deathspell Omega, and Cobalt. Catchy, long, drawn out riffs thrown around each track with relentless drums that  will keep your head nodding the entire album. These young guys take a unique spin on the late surge of blackened hardcore, similar to North Carolina's Young And In The Way. Experimental in nature, highly recommended, album is available for name-your-price on the band's bandcamp, link below.
