Some members of Kalevala evolved out of the band Apollo in 1972 and their first album is to be considered as one of the milestones in finnish progressive hard rock. Sung in english, the LP contains eight tracks of hard, guitar driven songs with biting, and sometimes strange vocals from Harri Saksala. Clusters of progressivness can be found everywhere when the band ends the LP with an aggressive Polka or when some songs begin relaxed and melodic, just to get loud again after two minutes. It seems that this was not the way Kalevala wanted to go in the first place. Quite a wild bunch…This is the first official reissue with the original cover artwork.
