Finnish Black metal act Cavus “The New Era” Album review

There has to be something in the water in Finland.. or perhaps something in the snow? Despite having a population of a little over 5 million (that’s less than half the population of New York City) this small country produces legendary Black Metal band after legendary Black metal band, Beherit,Satanic Warmaster, Horna, Behexen , Archgoat and the list just goes on and on.

Cavus has been around for a little over 10 years now with an ep and debut album under their belt. The debut came out on Listenable Records from memory. I know they went through some line up changes but we finally have a new album from them. If you are a fan of raw, uncompromising Black metal in the vein of the 2nd wave of Norwegian bands like Gorgoroth than ya gotta check out Cavus – you will love them. Fucking savage. Jump on the hate train and pick up this album You will not be sorry

bio
Cavus was formed around the year 2007 by the founding fathers guitarist J.K and drummer T.T.T in their hometown of Porvoo, Finland. They gave birth to this creature of hatred and devilry to serve them, loyally and unquestioning, through times of violent intoxication and depths of depravity. By the joining of vocalist W, bassist A.R.G and second guitarist B.P, the lineup was complete and a truly devastatingly destructive force.

The first offspring of this alliance was a self titled EP, consisting of four hymns in the honour of plague and pestilence, that was released in 2009. After live performances with bands like Mayhem, Behexen and Sólstafir in the autumn of 2009, Cavus signed a worldwide recording contract with French record label Listenable Records. Recordings for a debut album “Fester And Putrefy” started in February 2010, and released by Listenable Records September 27th in the EU and during October in the USA and February 2011 in South America.

The release was followed by an european tour together with Gorgoroth. 2012 the band started to work with a new album but during the process vocalist W decided to leave the band. Therefore the album process was delayed. Late 2015 B.P decided to take over the vocals and the album was completed.
