Valtatyhji: Lukko cassette

Description

Sorry State is proud to present a US pressing of Lukko, the debut cassette from Joensuu, Finlands Valtatyhji, who caught our ear here at Sorry State with their wild and original sound. While Valtatyhjis vocals have the trademark snarl we love to hear in Finnish hardcore, their songs (on the first three tracks, at least) are rooted in Swedish mngel, with insanely fast tempos and a wild, careening sense of rhythm that makes their take on this classic sound truly exciting. The drumming, however, might be the star of the show. Double bass drumming is taboo in many hardcore circles, but Valtatyhji proves it can work, integrating crazy, Dave Lombardo-style kick drum rolls into a frantic explosion of hardcore percussion whose only point of reference might be Jerrys Kids Is This My World?. After three tracks with the pedal to the floor, Valtatyhji close out Lukko with Pahat hahmot, an anthemic mid-paced track that wouldnt be out of place on a classic record by Kaaos or Lama.

This edition is 150 professionally duplicated cassettes with pro-printed j-cards and paper labels.
