Show in Tampere cancelled

Posted on May 13th 2008. Filed under shows.

We regret to announce that the show in Tampere on June 6th has been cancelled – this was beyond our control. We’re working on a new show in Tampere for the fall.

Show in Pori, new video and Global Domination

Posted on May 11th 2008. Filed under general news, shows, videos, interviews, reviews, media.

A new show has been confirmed: Finn Hits Fest in Pori on July 12th.

We filmed another music video roughly a month ago, this time for the song Oikeutus. It should be finished within a month or so and we’ll put it up on Youtube as soon as possible (and hope they don’t take it down).

You might also want to take a look at Global Domination as they’re getting better and better all the time (more shit about us, that is). You can find “extremely triggered” Teloitus in audio autopsy as well as a new interview. Nice!

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.
