Writing process has been completed

Posted on June 3rd 2007. Filed under general news.

Weekend and its four rehearsals are behind and let me tell you: right now this band consists of five tired, but extremely happy campers. Yes, we have completed the writing process for the album! Eight brand new songs for the album and something special for the single. Musically we have taken some very important steps forward and the album will crush, no doubt about it. There is enough diversity within the album, but rest assured, it’s still Sotajumala. We have six weeks before we start recording and more than likely we’ll be spending a lot of hot, sunny summer days locked in our basement rehearsal room. Stay tuned!

History

Sotajumala is a Finnish death metal band founded in 1998 that plays aggressive death metal. Drawing influence from both old and new generations of death metal the band has created a sound of their own. The lyrics are in their native language and the band name translates to Wargod. Over the years the band has gained loyal following through hard work, solid releases and several fierce live shows.

Debut full-length Death Metal Finland received great response from press and fans alike in 2004, marking the beginning of a new era in Finnish death metal. As a result of meticulous writing process the band unleashed their sophomore album Teloitus in 2007. With its eight crushing songs Teloitus displays Sotajumala’s progress as songwriters, as musicians and as a band - something both press and fans noticed. From start to finish Teloitus destroys everything on its path, not once letting go. This energy is also present at live shows where the band has further demonstrated their abilities to annihilate the masses.
