One of the best kept secrets in the Finnish underground metal scene. RIPPIKOULU began their musical endeavours back in the late eighties, and like so many of their contemporaries, evolved from primitive punk noise to death metal. However, while many bands played death metal with groovy riffing and overall headbanging attitude, RIPPIKOULU's choice of style was darker. Their downtuned metal is bleak and nearly unbearably heavy in its execution, dark and soul-searching in its themes, intertwining faster bursts of chaos with slow, doomy passages.
RIPPIKOULU released the Musta Seremonia demo album on tape in 1993 and then disappeared. They never gained much popularity in their time, but their legacy has steadily grown in time. The album has been carefully remastered from the original DAT master tape, cleaned up and amplified.

Review

Musta Seremonia is the epitome of Finnish death metal. Recommended to fans of Finnish heavyweights Purtenance and Abhorrence and doom death legends Cianide and Eternal Darkness. Pure, criminally underrated Finnish death metal. - 5/5
