Just like I wrote for the last Sophia CDs this kind of sounds fascinate me, I don't know why but the amount of energy they carry is astonishing! Karjalan Sissit is the project of Markus Pesonen, a guy with Finnish roots, living in Sweden. The name of the project means "the Karelian Guerillas" and it is referring to the Finnish Sissi units during the Finnish Winter War: Markus grandfather served as a sniper in the Sissi units for 5 years. I named Sophia at the beginning of the review because this CD is produced by Peter Pettersson which is the guy behing Sophia and Arcana. He also wrote "Pig Society", "Inner Pain" and "She Was A Whore Anyways" along with Pesonen. The nine tracks are industrial martial composition with drums and percussions as main instruments and with distorted industrial sounds as background structure. The devastating effect is assured as along the power of the percussions your senses are stunned with the caothic symphony of clashing choruses and melancholic orchestrations. All this will amaze you in only thirty seven minutes of music. A perfect second release for Kajalan Sissit...indeed!
