The artwork includes Pohjankuru's Tree God sculpture.
The Pohjankuru wooden figure is a Stone Age wooden image found in the Pohjankuru village of Raasepori (former Pohja ) .
The wooden picture was found near the Pohjankuru station during the railway construction works at the end of the 19th century. It is dated to the Stone Age, the so-called comb ceramic period, i.e. 5000-2000 BC. The sculpture depicts a person and is made of a round pine trunk. The face of the wooden figure has a nose, forehead, chin and mouth, but no eyes and ears. Similar objects have been found around the Urals . Based on this, it has also been estimated that the Pohjankuru sculpture was originally a long wooden pole and a totem , with a human head carved into the upper end.
Crown of Asteria has been crafting metal-tinged naturalistic soundscapes since 2011. Ever prolific, CoA has released more than 25 genre-defying albums since that time, experimenting with varied instrumentation, field recordings, self-built percussion, and a range of vocal styles from guttural growls, to blackened shrieks, to choral chants. CoA contributes one 18-minute opus to this split release entitled “Claw of the Firemaker,” an unnerving blackened doom track that ebbs into a monophonic ode to the natural world.
