Unohdus – Niin Turhaan Tähdet Valaisivat Meitä [Demo]

Artist: Unohdus
Country: Finland
Label: Self-released
Formats: Demo tape
Year: 2023

With two tracks spanning a total of 8 minutes, Finland’s Unohdus’ arrival on the Black Metal scene is short but sweet. The atmospheric Black Metal in these two songs shows the one-man band from a diverse side, with the second track ‘Pohjatuuli’ emphasizing a more uptempo and melodic approach to the genre. However, the song somewhat pales in comparison to the stunning opener ‘Niin turhaan t​ä​hdet valaisivat meitä’. In particular the beautifully interwoven violins, arranged and performed by Matthew Dakoutros, stand out as a melancholic highlight in the mid-paced dreamy atmospheric Black Metal with harsh vocals that at times leans on Post Black Metal territories. Clearly, a promising release making Unohdus a band to keep an eye on for the future!
