We had a blast! We wish to thank the organizers, staff, bands and especially the audience at Tuska Open Air. Our greatest show so far and it’s all thanks to the amazing audience – thank you all so very much! Also thanks to our crew and people who helped us: Tupi, Impola, Paldanius Paldanius, Hekuli, Terhi and Kalle.

Helsingin Sanomat seemed to like us and Huumakuva folks were there as well, so keep your eyes open for some amazing photos. What did you miss, if you weren’t there? Only 45 minutes of this: Sotajumala – Kuolinjulistus @ Tuska Open Air, June 28th 2008.

Death Metal Finland worker shirts

Posted on June 25th 2008. Filed under merchandise.

Record Shop X have just received Death Metal Finland worker shirts, so you know what to do if you fancy one. We will also be selling these at our shows this summer.

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.
