Rotten Sound

Rotten Sound sign with Relapse Records

Finnish grinders Rotten Sound (Keijo Niinimaa – vocals, Mika Aalto – guitars, Sami Latva – drums, Toni Pihlaga - bass) formed in 1993 and have released a series of full-lengths and EP’s since their formation. Rotten Sound’s latest album, 'Cycles', was released in January of 2008 and debuted at #12 on the Finnish charts.

Rotten Sound are currently writing for their follow-up to 'Cycles' but will first see an EP release early next year. The EP, 'Napalm', is scheduled for a March release via Relapse Records. Additional details on this release will be announced soon.

Rotten Sound’s Niinimaa commented on the recent signing; “Relapse Records has been a strong label for grindcore since they started, which is one of the reasons that made us want to re-release our 'Murderworks' album through them in 2005. We will fit to their roster like a fist to an ass. Being along the same line with other label-mates is very important for us because we want to tour all over this planet with bands we like ourselves. The upcoming 'Napalm' EP and the next full-length album will start a new and (even) more aggressive era for Rotten Sound. Doing it together with Relapse Records will make this period more grind than any of our phases before.”
