(new video) Finnish Folk Black Metal Horde KOUTA Releases Official Video for ‘Sukujyrkkämä’!

Leave a comment

The Finnish folk black metal horde KOUTA has unleashed a new video for the song ‘Sukujyrkkämä’. The song is taken from the new album ‘Kaarnaköydet‘ – first band’s full-length – set to be released on April 21.

Bassist Arttu Pentikäinen stated about the video:

‘Shooting the video for Sukujyrkkämä in our national landscapes was rewarding. I think visual aid feeds the music strongly and therefore shapes the listening experience. It’s inspiring to see other creative people working on a story based on your own music through the art of cinema. I look forward to hearing listeners’ feedback on the album!‘

The new album ‘Kaarnaköydet‘ weaves a dark and intricate web of sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Folk elements have permeated the new sound much more deeply, while the production has become much more clear, powerful, and straight. At the heart of ‘Kaarnaköydet’ lies a gripping narrative centered around the tragic story of two brothers. Through their music, KOUTA explores the complex and often tumultuous emotions of shame, guilt, and catharsis, inviting the listener to join them on a powerful and emotional journey of aesthetically peripheral discovery.

The drum parts of ‘Kaarnaköydet‘ were recorded in a remote cabin in Lapland. Guitars and bass recorded at Pekka Posio’s studio in Helsinki. Vocals, choirs and all other instruments together with the live recording of ‘Äitimaan Laulu’ recorded at Sonic Pump Studios, Helsinki. Mixed by Pekka Posio and mastered by Svante Forsbäck.

(new single/video) Manchester hardcore punks Throwing Stuff have released a new single ‘I Hate This Place’!

Leave a comment

Manchester hardcore punks Throwing Stuff have released a new single I Hate This Place ahead of a rare appearance at Manchester Punk Festival on 8 April.

‘I Hate This Place’ is their first release in two years! The single sees Throwing Stuff return to their trademark brand of incendiary hardcore and lyrical piss and vinegar. Capturing the essence of their explosive live shows.

The two-minute track sees Throwing Stuff channel their fury at the racists their vocalist finds himself face-to-face with where he lives and works in south-east Asia.

“The irony isn’t lost on me that I have personally encountered more white, small-minded bigots halfway around the world in Myanmar than I ever have in the UK. There is enough Islamophobia within Myanmar popular discourse without Britain exporting its finest arseholes to teach in the country’s schools,” he said.

I Hate This Place is the first of three singles coming out in 2023, with the subsequent releases staggered over May and June.

‘I Hate This Place’ is streaming everywhere now – https://linktr.ee/throwingstuff
