Loviisa by Sträätgård

Raw, depressive black metal with nods to post-punk, noise-rock, goth, etc.

This is the result of 19 months of writing and re-writing after failed intimate relationships, death, existential crisis, solitude and deviancy.

Loviisa is the location of the artist's residence in Finland a place named after the former 18th century Queen of Sweden.

The use of purple is a nod to royalty as seen from European monarchs to the Vatican.

This is the first record created and made record since leaving Boston in 2022 and the fourth release in five years since the project's founding.
