With Patria Tervahäät takes a leap towards traditional neofolk. Somber songs are based on warm vocals, determined acoustic guitarwork, and samples of Finnish classical composers. About half of the lyrics of the songs are borrowed from Finnish poets and writers who also loved our homeland each in their own specific ways. Patria is a concept album of our fatherland Finland seen through the eyes of the duo Tervahäät. Tervahäät is a collective of Finnish mystics who began collaborating on ceremonial folk and ambient music back in 2008. Through sounds and words, they seek a better understanding of Finnish culture, history, and beliefs, as well as the subtle aspects which cannot be seen - only felt. To date, they have made six full-length albums, varying from wintry ambiances and harsh industrial soundscapes to ritualistic drone and wistful folk.
