Hiidenhauta is a black metal band from Satakunta, Finland, founded in
2012. In 2013, the band released two EPs, namely, “Surma saapuu suota
myöten” and “Eikä aurinko valaise.” The first full-length album, “Noitia
on minun sukuni,” was released in 2014 via Inverse Records. In
addition, a music video was shot of “Hiiden virsi,” a song off the debut
album featuring the vocalist Jonne Järvelä of Korpiklaani fame.
March 2017 saw the beginning of the recording sessions for the second
full-length “1695”. The album’s theme revolves around the Great Famine
of 1695-1697, a great calamity which beset the Finnish area at the time.
During the period, approximately every third citizen of Finland (then
under the Swedish rule) met their end as a result of starvation or
epidemics.
The lyrics of Hiidenhauta are written in Finnish, abiding by the poetic
Kalevala meter. History and nature are among the prominent themes of the
band’s lyrics.
Vocalist & lyricist Tuomas Keskimäki comment:
"Lyrics and lyrical themes have always been important for
me. The idea of the story concept came first, also this time. The Great
Famine of 1695-1697 is shocking and unbelievable historical fact and I
felt like the story just have to be told. ”1695” is a historical concept
album which we made with many problems since 2015. During these years
when making of the album, were also some kind of a turning point in the
history of Hiidenhauta, because two members left the band in the middle
of the recording session."
