Created as a tribute to the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft, the 25-minute Kuihtuman Henkivi stands as one of the most sinister entries in the Jääportit catalogue. A long, unsettling descent into deep darkness and menacing obscurity, it captures the crushing weight of Lovecraftian dread — composed exclusively for this release and available nowhere else.
Four underground bands passed the Gates of Unknown to distill their Lovecraftian cosmic visions of horror and madness in four monumental tracks, exclusive to this release. Over 77 minutes of obscure avant-garde prog metal, abysmal dark soundscapes and frightening blackened space-doom.

Reviews and comments
A dark instrumental journey that captures the weird concept of cosmic horror by drowning the listener in an overwhelming drone, within which there are instrumental kernels that hint at the outsider, the cosmic, and deep-seeded terrors of things and concepts best left alone. At more than 25 minutes, “Kuihtuman Henkivi” is a masterpiece for fans of drone and blackened ambiance.
Octavio Ramos, Santa Fe Metal Music Examiner
You’ll go insane from paranoia and fear first. Danger, darkness and death are everywhere, merely lurking. Just enjoy the relative safety for as long as it lasts, because it will end.

Completely stellar and celestial drone with the right amount of warm hallucinogenic overtones. If you really dig Cluster’s drone stuff, Tangerine Dream, Cosmic Jokers and all of their related projects, then you MUST check this out. Kraut/psyche/ambient/epic space tunes galore.
