Elased
The first two minutes alone completely overwhelmed me! A quiet, gentle, classical melody is torn apart by a heart-rending scream that erupts into a veritable death metal storm. This already sets the course for the whole album. No other band has perfected the ability to combine the tenderness and melancholy of Finnish ice flowers with such coarse and brute force to create a coherent overall concept.

A friend who is writing lots of metal bands reviews on her own website (go Liz!) recommended this one. It's very difficult to describe KK without forgetting something. It is like trying to reduce complexity in a math problem, the solution may be elegant but fails to take into account everything, and that's what KK delivers here, that EVERYTHING that cannot be contained, reduced nor explained. Go give it a listen for yourself, it's my best advice... cheers Liz !

With a fearless approach that defies genre boundaries, this band has redefined the very essence of Melodic Doom Metal, seamlessly blending ethereal beauty with unrelenting force. Since their formation in 2012, KAUNIS KUOLEMATON has embarked on a relentless quest to push the limits of their craft, creating a unique and mesmerizing brand of melancholic metal that resonates with fans from all corners of the metal spectrum. Their crushing and recognizable sound has earned them spots sharing stages with renowned acts such as Omnium Gatherum, Wolfheart, Cult of Luna, Vorna, and October Tide. From playing festivals to headlining their own shows across Finland, KAUNIS KUOLEMATON has captivated audiences with their magnetic performances. With three albums, one EP, and several singles under their belt, these Finnish metallers have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the metal scene.
Now, prepare yourself for their upcoming magnum opus, "Mielenvalta", set to be unleashed on October 13 via Noble Demon. This highly anticipated release promises to be another intense chapter in KAUNIS KUOLEMATON's storied history. Brace yourself for a sonic journey that transports you to a realm where beauty and brutality coexist, where haunting melodies intertwine with savage screams, and where the boundaries of metal are shattered.
With their latest album "Syttyköön Toinen Aurinko," featuring lyrics entirely in Finnish, KAUNIS KUOLEMATON has already left an indelible mark on the scene, garnering praise from fans and critics alike. Now, as they prepare to unleash "Mielenvalta", the band's evolution reaches new heights, promising an immersive experience that will leave you breathless.
With the track "Peilikuva", the band has unleashed the first single today.
KAUNIS KUOLEMATON on "Peilikuva":
"Peilikuva (Reflection) tells about the challenges that life brings. You don't always know if the decisions are right or wrong and often life can seem very difficult to handle. Still, whatever the choices, whatever life turns out to be, you see yourself in the mirror. Exactly who has built your own life and that is YOU."
With the song's calmness, aggressiveness, melodies and tempo changes, you can travel to your own mental landscapes and see what your life has been like until now. If you notice it's time for a change, make it happen. You are responsible for your own life."

Absolute stunner of an album tuomas has smashed it out the ball park yet again! The hooks and melodies are bloody great and as for the vocals Jesus wept! Must have purchase simple as that! Thou roughly recommended. Dylan HM2 Powell
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period. josich
