Svart Recordscontinue to reissue the albums ofHavukruunu, bringing their highly sought after 2021 EPKUU ERKYLN YLLback on the market in May 2026.

Statement from the band:

“There has been a lot of rumors and mystery surrounding the album cover art for Kuu Erkyln Yll EP. Why was the album cover art different on the cassette version and the Vinyl/CD version at the time of release? The most well-known theory is probably that the original cover art was destroyed with an axe, which is why “the blue cover” ended up only on the cassette release and the damaged artwork could no longer be transferred to the CD/Vinyl versions. We completely deny this rumor: “the blue cover” was not destroyed with an axe, but was run over by a car, and we also confirm that “the blue cover” was not even the original cover art. The original cover art has now been found from the archives and the reissue published by Svart has now been made for the first time ever with the cover art that the release was originally intended to have.”

The Quorthonian homemade assaultKuu Erkyln Yllcontains Havukruunus earliest and, at the time on recording, latest compositions combined, reworked and finished finally to do justice for the original vision of the band. Journey to the pitch-black star-night of Erkyl, where the Night Tower stands ever vigilant under the sign..

Presented for the first time with the original, previously unused album art byHeidi Kosenius,Kuu Erkyln Yllis available now on new limited vinyl colours packed in a gatefold sleeve. Release date May 22nd.
