This page only shows my experience when I listen to this great 6-piece Black Metal band from Finland. I listened only one of their album which is titled "Riitti". This album begins with a track called "Viimeinen Virta" which means ''The Last Stream'', it began with very slow drumming and very melancholy guitar playing, almost similar to what Doom Metal bands did, and with a grieving clean singing by the vocalist, that happens for like 9 minutes in this 15 minutes dong. The brutality came in the 9:00 mark, with unique shrieking vocals and not-too-fast blast-beats drumming, until almost in the end of the song, it backs to the beginning of the song. The next song in this album called "Hurmeen Hauta", it is a truly headbang-able song, with a minor-to-minor guitar chord progression, and the strange thing in this song is, somehow they played blast-beats drumming with a major guitar riffs. The next song is "Suon Sydan", that brings either calmness or sad impression, with almost neo-classical harmonic minor chord progression in the beginning, and then continues with a shrieking vocals, and again, the unique thing in this song is they played a hardcore punk drumming, the rest is what you have heard in the previous song. I don't want to write about anything in the last song, because it is really similar to what I listened previously.
Riitti is a very good and unique Black Metal album, that brought me to quietude but only in the beginning, and then really punch me in the face when it started its brutality with the blast-beats and shrieking vocals. One thing that I don't like in this album is, they combined a blast-beats drumming with the clean vocals. If I could rate this album, I would give it 80 out of 100.
Sorry for my bad grammar, and thanks for READING my review, Kiitos Paljon!
