Kouta are a band from Finland that plays a mixture of black and folk metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "Aarnihauta" which will be released in March.
Clean playing starts off the ep while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before evolving into grim sounding black metal screams and growls which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling while the music also adds in a decent amount of folk music elements, All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and clean pagan vocals are also added on a couple of tracks.
Kouta plays a musical style that takes black and folk metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while th e lyrics are written in Finnish and are inspired by Nordic Lore and Myths.
In my opinion Kouta are a very great sounding mixture of black and folk metal and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Mannviha". 8 out of 10.
