It makes me feel bad to discover bands like Hellveto this late, now knowing that he has released a million albums already. Wiara, nadzieja..., potepienie - the third and final part of an album trilogy from recent years - is a true monster of epic folk black metal à la Summoning and latter era Graveland.

And how well is this done! Even if influences can be heard, Hellveto has its own aura, bringing magical orchestral melodies from behind every corner. Metal is not much audible, the focus is on creating glorious landscapes of nature and battlegrounds where metal instrumentation has more of a backing role to the melody heavy music. There’s a ton of layers on the album: something new is always there to be heard, including even bass guitar. Drums are played on a real kit and, if I’m not totally wrong, this is a rather new feature on Hellveto.

Albums that amaze me are always hard to review because I’m having a lack of words trying to explain why something is so good, so I’ll end up saying that there’s just something in this record that has personally moved me, and that doesn’t happen too often, especially with promo albums received for review purposes (which means heavy exposure to mediocre music). Wiara, nadzieja..., potepienie covers a lot of moods from anger to sadness, always keeping a unique, obscure atmosphere within. All this is executed well with a plethora of different instruments.

So if you’re up for a journey through beautiful and almost surreal landscapes, then do yourself a favour and pick up Wiara, nadzieja..., potepienie. In addition to the 7-song main album, a second disc of material related to the trilogy theme is attached to the package as well, making sure you won’t get tired anytime soon: in total, there’s almost two hours of material, much thanks to the second disc comprising over 20-minute songs. And, as usual, only time will tell if this is worth even a higher score: right now I must settle to a close to perfect rating.
