Self Released: 2021

My Haven started in 2016, although the name wasn't established in 2019. Jan Hirvonen and Kimmo Pitkänen decided to produce music together. They wrote 12 songs with elements from modern melodic metal, more traditional heavy and hard rock. Finally, in 2019, after several turns and auditions, Teija Sotkasiira joined the band and gave the songs long-awaited melodic and lyrical representation. That's also when they became My Haven. established. They hail from Helsinki, Finland and have made Until into quite a pleasurable album with female fronted melodic metal. It's all very easy for the ears, and that is also the main sticking point. It's all too safe! Nowhere do they colour outside the lines, never do you feel they're exploring the boundaries of what is possible and/or acceptable. Which is a real pity, as we are talking about a band of good musicians and a singer with a lot of potential in Teija Sotkasiira. Let's hope that they push themselves to the corners of their comfort zone on the next release.

 

Until then we do have a good album to listen to, just not memorable.

 

The album is available through
