Ruttokosmos are a band from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very depressive and suicidal form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Apoteoosi" which will be released on December 20th by Werewolf Records.
Psychedelic soundscapes and clear singing start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When tremolo picking is added into the guitar riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a lot of blast beats can be heard while the music is very heavily rooted in the early to mid 2000's style. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melancholic melodies.
Some of the songs you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a lot of the music bringing in the classic Finnish style as well as a good amount of tracks also sticking to a slower direction. The production sounds very raw and raw old school while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover death, misery and suffering themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ruttokosmos and if you are a fan of suicidal and depressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Thanatos" and "Kuoleman Rakkikoira". 8 out of 10.
