Ruoska
comes from Finland and "Radium" is their
newest album, if i am not mistaken is their third one, which
released through Kraklund Records. In these
eleven songs the band walks in modern music metal paths with
a lot of electronics elements and some nu metal too. Imagine
a combination of Pain and Rammstein
but with lyrics in Finnish and a more fresh and energetic
version. I am not the biggest fan of the electronic music
but Ruoska combined it almost perfectly which you can't
stay on this element, the whole album takes you to the world
of Ruoska and you will finish the journey after forty
three minutes of great music. The fans of electronic metal
will love the stuff of Ruoska, if of course you don't
mind for the lyrics. Personally i am happy to see bands that
use their mother language in order to express the lyrics.
I think with this, the lyrics become more natural to the bands.
Of course they could had the translation on the booklet but
they didn't do it, i hope in their next step will not forget
it. Another great release from Finland and a new band will
rise from this land. Hear now the Ruoska, before they
will become well known, found now this little treasure.
