Description

Sotatila strikes us with another high-quality hardcore punk seven inch. The basic concept is the same as on band’s other releases: Fast paced and straight-to-the-point songs that don’t contain a single unnecessary element. I think there still is a noticeable difference between for example the earlier 7” and Vituilks meni EP. Sotatila’s punk assault has been pissed off also before but with this new release the tone is even more negative. The lyrics criticize different political and social phenomena but also express direct hatred toward them. Is it just me or is the feeling of danger more overwhelming here than before?
Cover art suits the music well. A black and white picture collage of prisoner executions, soldiers etc. is basic stuff but put together nicely. Only the mushroom cloud in the back cover is a bit lame. I think we’ve all seen enough of those within the context of hardcore punk.
