Oksennus - Sokea Idiootti Live

Review by Macy Mermaid

Oksennus' latest album Sokea Idiootti is a sonic assault that will leave listeners reeling. This Finnish death metal band has created an album that is unrelenting in its brutality, with each track delivering a crushing blow to the senses. From the opening track "Kuolemaan" to the closing track "Sokea Idiootti," the album is a non-stop barrage of blast beats, guttural vocals, and distorted guitars.

The production on Sokea Idiootti is raw and abrasive, perfectly capturing the intensity of Oksennus' live performances. The band's tight musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with each member contributing to the overall chaos in their own unique way. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with riffs that are both dissonant and catchy.

Despite the unrelenting nature of the music, there are moments of nuance and subtlety on Sokea Idiootti. The track "Sota" features a haunting acoustic guitar intro, while "Pimeys" showcases the band's ability to create an atmosphere of dread and despair.

Summary by Macy Mermaid

Sokea Idiootti is a must-listen for fans of extreme metal. Oksennus has created an album that is both punishing and memorable, cementing their place as one of the most exciting bands in the Finnish metal scene.
