harvest time

Elonkorjuu is a Finnish progressive rock and hard rock band formed in 1969. Their name translates to "Harvest" in English. Initially influenced by British blues-rock bands like Cream, Black Sabbath, and Colosseum, Elonkorjuu developed a unique sound blending heavy blues, progressive rock, and jazz elements.

Their early work was heavily guitar-driven with dark, heavy riffs, while later albums leaned more into jazz-rock fusion. The band is considered one of Finland’s earliest and most important progressive rock acts.

Harvest Time (Elonkorjuu's debut album) is a highly sought-after collector’s item, known as one of the rarest Scandinavian progressive rock albums. The album blends hard rock, blues, and prog elements, featuring heavy guitar riffs, jazzy basslines, and dramatic organ melodies.

The album’s dark, moody atmosphere and psychedelic influences make it stand out from other early 70s blues-rock albums. Some tracks even hint at early doom metal, placing Elonkorjuu alongside bands like Black Sabbath in terms of heaviness.
