Lukko, by Valtatyhjiö

Lukko

by Valtatyhjiö

supported by

Carl Absolutely SAVAGE. Raw Finnish hardcore mixed with Swedish mangel and double-bass drumming that somehow fits perfectly. Epic guitar solos without sounding too metal and unhinged vocals. 3 raging d-beat tracks capped off by a midtempo Motörhead-esque stomper (think a more amped up sounding 'Orgasmatron'). Best thing I've heard in a long time and really hoping for a full-length sooner than later. Favorite track: Lukko.

about

Sorry State is proud to present a US pressing of Lukko, the debut cassette from Joensuu, Finland’s Valtatyhjiö, who caught our ear here at Sorry State with their wild and original sound. While Valtatyhjiö’s vocals have the trademark snarl we love to hear in Finnish hardcore, their songs (on the first three tracks, at least) are rooted in Swedish mängel, with insanely fast tempos and a wild, careening sense of rhythm that makes their take on this classic sound truly exciting. The drumming, however, might be the star of the show. Double bass drumming is taboo in many hardcore circles, but Valtatyhjiö proves it can work, integrating crazy, Dave Lombardo-style kick drum rolls into a frantic explosion of hardcore percussion whose only point of reference might be Jerry’s Kids’ Is This My World?. After three tracks with the pedal to the floor, Valtatyhjiö close out Lukko with “Pahat hahmot,” an anthemic mid-paced track that wouldn’t be out of place on a classic record by Kaaos or Lama.

When my short attention span kicks in and I lack the patience for slower music I enjoy the short sharp shock of hardcore to reset my brainwaves.this is some fine Finnish HC with infectious guitar licks and shouty female vox. Similar vein to body farm. Demo release.Pass the ritalin I think I'm going to explode. Doomshire
