Suotana, a Finnish melodic death metal band. Though formed back in 2005, they didn't make their album debut until 2015 with ‘Frostrealm’. Deeply impressed by this work, Germany's Reaper Entertainment offered them a deal. Their second album, ‘Land of the Ending Time’ (2018), and third album, ‘Ounas I’ (2023), both released via Reaper, radiate quintessential Finnish lyricism, sending Nordic metal fans into raptures. In 2024, they embarked on their first Japan tour alongside fellow Finnish band Kalmah.
Now, Suotana releases a new album. Titled ‘Ounas II’, this sequel to their previous work is another masterpiece of melodic death metal that embodies Finland. The lyrics, inspired by Finland's vast nature, and the music itself are truly grand. This album is also a very large-scale work, including a track exceeding ten minutes. The arrangements, featuring generous use of synthesizers, are outstanding. Furthermore, it includes a cover of their legendary compatriots, Children of Bodom. This is the ideal form of Finnish melodic death metal. If you love Nordic music, you absolutely cannot miss this!
