Sotajumala / Misery Index tour shirt

Posted on July 19th 2009. Filed under merchandise.

You can now reserve the tour shirt from the tour site. Seeing the site is in Finnish, here’s the deal: we don’t mail these shirts, we simply reserve them to people who are coming to the shows and want to make sure they get one. After receiving your payment, we will put your shirt(s) aside for you. This way we can make sure that even people coming to the last few shows will be able to get one, as the shirt is a very limited edition.

If your Finnish is rusty, but you’re definitely coming to one of the shows, email us and we’ll work it out with you: info [at] sotajumala.com.

One more special show added to the tour

Posted on July 13th 2009. Filed under shows.

We’re proud and thrilled to announce the addition of one more special show to our Laulu on iloni ja työni tour with Misery Index. The show takes place on August 23rd at a tiny pub called Liisan Pub (Liisa’s Pub) about 20 minutes from Jyväskylä in a place called Lievestuore. Three of our guys are originally from there and we’ve talked about playing at this pub for almost two years. What better chance than doing it with our good buddies in Misery Index? I mean, you don’t exactly get a line-up like this at Liisan Pub every week.

This is a private show for our friends only, so you’ll need an invitation to get in.

Tour shirt is also almost completed and preview is up on the tour site. More info about that soon, but it’s a strictly limited edition and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

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.
