"Back home in Finland, DEATH HAWKS currently have a virtual monopoly in music influenced by sounds from the bygone days when the idealistic highs of the late '60s started to lose altitude, the music moving correspondingly from the sweet harmonies of Crosby, Stills and Nash towards the arena-humping heaviness of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath et al. (...) yet everything on Death and Decay eventually winds up sounding exactly, unmistakably like Death Hawks. And that's a rare achievement for a debut album from a band so openly and proudly indebted to repeatedly recycled." - thelineofbestfit.com TRACKLISTING: 01. BLUE VOID 02. HOW DARK WAS THE LAND 03.
