Viimeinen Kolonna - Luonnoton Poistuma (2011)

Another band I've posted before but equally worthy of your time is Viimeinen Kolonna from Finland. They play hardcore punk and they're good so grab this one too.

Corpsessed - The Dagger and the Chalice (2011)

I posted a song from these guys a while back, and I've been pretty psyched to hear this EP for a while now. Dark death metal featuring a member of Wormphlegm.

Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa (2011)

I don't care what you say, Moonsorrow own and are one of the few bands I like within the generally shitty and cheesy folk metal/viking metal genre. Here you've got more of the same 10+ minute epics, full of fist (or sword if you've got one) raising power. Nowhere near as good as their masterpiece Verisäkeet, but still great. Onwards to Vahalla brothers.

Got a complaint so Link removed. Sorry dudes.

Corpsessed - Altar of Worms (track)

Not an album this time, just a single track but its a good one. Some dark death metal for ya right here, this track slays and the EP is one of my most anticipated releases at the moment. Featuring a member from the ungodly Wormphlegm, who create a similar cavernous atmosphere through crushingly heavy funeral doom, Corpsessed definitely take their cues from the Incantation, Immolation and early Swedish cult school of death metal. There are some different tracks on their myspace which are also very impressive. One to look out for.

Viimeinen Kolonna - Onnellisuus Ahdistaa

Another Finnish hardcore punk EP! The almost Tom G Warrior-esque short grunts that the vocalist does during some of the songs are great!

Nukketeatteri - Tervetuloa Helvettiin

Been listening to a bit of Finnish punk lately. Heres a nice 7" EP from 1982.
