The booklet issue on the first pressing of Teloitus

Posted on March 1st 2008. Filed under general news, releases.

Those of you who have a copy of the first pressing of Teloitus might have wondered how come the booklet is in two pieces. This wasn’t intentional, rather a fuck-up and we finally have correct booklets for you people. From this day on we will be having these booklets at shows and will be giving them to people against the booklet of the first pressing (you can still keep it, but we need to be sure you really have one).

Seeing the first pressing was sold-out almost instantly, if you buy the album now, you should be getting the correct booklet.

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.
