Ruttokosmos where a band from Finland that played a suicidal and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 compilation album "Karsimys" which will be released in April by Werewolf Records and consists of their 2006 and 2007 demos.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the compilation along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched yet depressive black metal screams while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and a small amount of melody can also be heard in the guitar riffing.
Only one of the tracks adds in a mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music has influences from both the 90's and 2000's era. Most of the riffing is also very power chord driven along with most of the tracks sticking to mostly a slow or mid tempo direction, one track is also an instrumental and introduces clean playing onto the compilation which also returns on the second demo that is presented on the compilation as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly.
Ruttokosmos played a style of depressive suicidal black metal that was very raw, slow and mid tempo sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover darkness, death and depression themes.
In my opinion Ruttokosmos where a very great sounding suicidal and depressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tuhat Karsimyksen Huutoa" "Olemisen Tukahduttawa Loyhka" "Avautuminen" and "Tyhjyys". 8 out of 10.
