Mustan Kuun Lapset

Mustan Kuun Lapset to release a compilation of 90s material

The compilation CD 'Ei sävyjä pimeässä - The Complete 90s Collection' includes all of the Mustan Kuun Lapset's 1990s rare and hard to get material in their original but remastered versions. Album will be released on October 29th 2021 via Inverse Records.

'...Kunnes loppuu yö' demo cassette (tracks 1-3) was recorded and mixed by Heikki Peltonen at Akaan MR-studio, Viiala, Finland 1996. 'Varjomaa' demo cassette (tracks 4-8) was recorded at Studio Audio-Artworks , Lahti, Finland 1997. MKL's flagship of the 90's, the first recording on the CD format, 'Prologi' ep (tracks 9-12) was recorded in the same studio a year later with Ville Vartiainen. Two versions of the album were released; 1998 self-released version, and 1999 Italian Nocturnal Music´s version with the black cover and one extra bonus track for the European market. The solemnly named 'Uuusi suomalainen black metal tulokas' split-cd was recorded and mixed with the Danish Lars B. Janson at the end of the millennium 1999. The studio was still Audio-Artworks, Lahti.

And there's more to come; the cherry on the top of the cake is the history of the band's first decade, compiled by journalist Jasmin Vahtera (included in the CD booklet).

The original line-up of the band included Kari Kinnunen (bass, 1993-2003), Pete "Speedu" Tamminen (guitar & growl, 1993-2007), Mikko Hautala (drums, 1993-2017) and Pete Lehtinen (vocals, guitar & keyboards, 1993- ) who is still in the band and its only original member.
