HAEVNER - Kaldet Fra Tomrummet - LP

Kaldet Fra Tomrummet translates to English as “called from the void”, which is a fitting title for their record. I couldn’t write a thorough track by track review of the record due to the really short notice from the label. In short, Hævner is what can be described as a “raw post-punk” band, but that label frankly limits what they’re capable of with their utterly chaotic and depraved music. Their sound is indeed dark and hectic, hallmarked by penetrating guitar sound, throbbing bass and piercing synths, with desperate vocals dripping with anguish, and mouthing their melancholic lyrics in Danish. I still need a few more listens, but I think this despairing yet liberating, ice-cold yet passionate punk album is simply great.
