ROTTEN SOUND - Sharing

Info

They're here again, but who wouldn't like it when their grindcore is so great!!! Total aggression, brutal speed and great musical performances make our friends ROTTEN SOUND one of the leaders of this style!!! There is probably no other grindcore band that has traveled the world so many times and survived in health!!!


Only at the Battlefield ROTTEN SOUND will grind for the seventh time and this time they will bring us a brand new album called "Apocalypse", which will be released in March 2023 by Season of Mist and believe me, it will take your breath away, just like any other of their records. The quartet of Keijo, Mika, Sami and Matti can do nothing but great!!! Expect grindcore apocalypse on the podium and alcohol apocalypse in the backstage!!!

Bio

ROTTEN SOUND are back and angrier than ever. Grindcore is not for the faint of heart and these Finns do not subscribe to the idea of compromise. ‘Abuse to Suffer’ remains true to the band’s resilient roots, while not falling into the traps of chewing endlessly on an old formula gone stale or not daring to add an element of surprise when fitting the style. What sets ROTTEN SOUND apart from other protagonists in the field is an obvious intelligence that shows in their to-the-point songwriting, arrangements, and subtle inclusion of choice death metal elements in their massive sound.

ROTTEN SOUND were conceived in the city of Vaasa, Finland by guitarist Mika Aalto in 1993, who was soon joined by vocalist Keijo Niinimaa. This duo remains in place as the only original members – yet drummer Sami Latva and Kristian Toivainen on bass have meanwhile been steady members for many years as well. The Finns can proudly look back at an impressive catalogue of six highly acclaimed studio albums, seven EPs, three split singles, a single and a live DVD. Furthermore ROTTEN SOUND hit the stages of major metal and hardcore oriented festivals and toured in regular intervals alongside such renowned acts as NASUM, Phobia, Disfear, Carcass, Municipal Waste, Exhumed, Napalm Death, and Pig Destroyer among many others.

With ‘Abuse to Suffer’, ROTTEN SOUND are hammering out an album that equally acknowledges the band’s celebrated past as well as breaking into some new harsh ground that keeps the fire burning.
