Kouta: debut album 'Kaarnaköydet' out soon

Finnish folk/black metal band Kouta's debut full-length album 'Kaarnaköydet' will be released on April 21st and it will be available as CD, streaming, and digital download.

The band commented:

"The 7 new songs weave a dark and intricate web of sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Folk elements have permeated the new sound much more deeply, while the production has become much more clear, powerful, and straight. At the heart of 'Kaarnaköydet' lies a gripping narrative centered around the tragic story of two brothers. Through their music, Kouta explores the complex and often tumultuous emotions of shame, guilt, and catharsis, inviting the listener to join them on a powerful and emotional journey of aesthetically peripheral discovery."

1. Äiti maan laulu
2. Turjan takaa
3. Häpeä
4. Veriaura
5. Kurja raakile
