Salava, a Helsinki and Hämeenlinna based band, releases its comeback single Devil’s Crop on August 27th, 2026 via Inverse Records. On the single, Salava joins forces with brothers Janne and Tommi Saksa of Sancnity, the Hämeenlinna band that pioneered death metal influenced alternative metal in Finland and earned a legendary reputation in the 90s underground before the mainstream even had time to notice.
”Devil’s Crop could easily have been left to gather dust between all our other band projects, but it was simply too good a song for that”, says guitarist Sami Suominen.
From start to finish, this track is an absolute trip. It nails an intense, atmospheric mood with a flawless performance, especially when that incredible guitar solo kicks in. Between the classy arrangement and rich production, the whole song feels incredibly inspired, channeling a cool, theatrical vibe that lands right in the sweet spot between Alice Cooper and Ghost.
