KOURISTUS, the Finnish Grindcore band with 10 years under their belt, delivers a raw and relentless assault with their full-length album, “Mielen Ja Maailman Rappio”. This 19-minute sonic explosion is a chaotic blend of Grindcore and old school Hardcore, showcasing the band’s dedication to unfiltered aggression. This album features 15 tracks packed into just under 20 minutes. From the inviting head swaying intro into the rest numbers it is a relentless sonic assault, where this Finnish four-piece holds nothing back and delivered a raw and chaotic blend of sound. Forget polished production, this album is all about capturing the band’s raw energy. The drums pound relentlessly, the guitars are sharp and the vocals are a guttural outpouring of rage and pain. Surprisingly, the bass cuts through the chaos, adding an unexpected layer of depth. While the album is a full-frontal Grindcore assault, there are enticing mixtures of D-beat and Crust Punk that make it even more intense. Tracks like ‘Karma Kostaa’, ‘Loppu Tulee’, ‘Kansanmurha’, ‘Yksin Kotona Sekaisin’, ‘Kannan Arkkua’ and ‘Irtiottoja’ showcasing the band’s ability to craft memorable moments within the maelstrom. The striking artwork by Khaaosink complements the music perfectly, reflecting the band’s philosophy. With all that, “Mielen Ja Maailman Rappio” is an exhilarating ride through old school energy and uncompromising intensity that will further strengthen their already strong discography. It’s a release that fans of Grindcore, Punk and Metal will appreciate and poised to spread the name of KOURISTUS further in this genre.
