KRIMINAALISET METSANHALTIJAT - Anarkkia, Kaaos, Maailmanloppu!
A scarce recording by cult industrial noise group, Kriminaaliset Metsänhaltijat--which barely saw the light of day when it was originally released on cassette (Triangle Records 2008). The members of this shadow group of old-school industrial acolytes originally hail from Finland and from Karelia--a region and an autonomous republic of northwest Russia, between the Gulf of Finland and the White Sea. Kriminaaliset Metsänhaltijat claim to have built their sound on the bones of S.P.K. and Throbbing Gristle, through a prism of Japanese harsh-noise and Finnish hardcore-punk, spewing out a nihilistic nightmare of diffused synth hiss, commanding metal percussion, waves of harsh-noise, anarcho-punk attitude, and dissident power-electronics. An exciting and satisfying introduction to this band in preparation for Bloodlust's release of the Koskemattomuus CD.
