Album Notes & Community Reviews

Intended primarily for the Japanese market, 'Takatalvi' compiles a fiery selection of B-sides, covers, and live cuts from the Finnish group's early era. The release serves as an energetic showcase of their blistering power metal speed and highly melodic, keyboard-driven heavy metal anthems.
