Hitting studio, finally! That’s right, we’re leaving today and shall spend the next two and half weeks in Vaasa with Hannu Koivisto recording our second album, entitled Teloitus (Finnish for execution). We’ve got a studio blog up at Teloitus.info.

Track listing for the album is as follows

2. Arkku vailla vainajaa
3. Kuolinjulistus
4. Riistetty viattomuus
5. Verellä kirjoitettu
6. Oikeutus
7. Kidutus
8. Teloitus

The release date isn’t set yet, but as soon as we know it, we’ll let you know. The album will be out in Finland by the end of the year and before that we’ll put out a single with one bonus track. That’s all folks, keep an eye on the studio blog. We’re excited as hell!

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.
