Finnish Black / Folk Metallers KOUTA have just released their debut EP “Aarnihauta”. It has been recorded, mixed and mastered by Pekka Posio. The artwork was created by Juuso Voutilainen and Antti Mäki. You can check out a video for the song ‘Maanviha’ at this location. The band commented on the EP as follows: “Our first EP introduces the band’s passion for Black Metal, adding elements of Folk as well as heavier Rock into the mix. Our northern roots of the band are meant to be seen and heard, both musically and thematically. The EP’s purpose is to lay the groundwork for a wide variety of modern Black Metal to come. KOUTA’s first full-length album recording took place in February 2022. With the first EP out and a second one coming, we expect to start playing live shows as early as the spring of 2022. The full-length is meant to be released somewhere at the end of 2022, together with an array of live-shows.” For all further KOUTA info please visit www.facebook.com/koutaband
