Description
Finnish grindcore freaks Rotten Sound was formed back in 1993 in Vaasa. The band has became an unstoppable force of nature on stage and records.
Rotten Sound has released 8 full length albums so far and about the same amount of mini's and EPs. They have also been touring constantly since Murderworks and played numerous times at extreme festivals around the world.
Currently the band is preparing to tour with mighty Carcass in early 2025 and will also play a mini-tour in Scandinavia with Massgrav in Finland, Sweden and Norway at the end of 2024.
"Murderworks"was celebrated upon its initial release for its ferocity and uncompromising sound, setting a high standard in extreme music. The album showcasesROTTEN SOUNDat their most intense, with an unyielding energy that captures the essence of grindcore's chaotic power with hints of razor-sharp death metal. This reissue offers both longtime fans and newcomers the chance to appreciate the album's original fury, restored and ready to assault ears once again.
MURDERWORKS is the third full album of Rotten Sound and is also considered as the stepping stone for the band, which also got us finally touring internationally. We had been doing more crusty stuff at first on Under Pressure and earlier releases. Then we added elements of death metal on Drain and finally started blasting more than ever on Murderworks.
Murderworks was created mostly during 2001, when Keijo already lived in Tampere while others still were based in Vaasa. Keijo had moved already in 1997, but on 2001 he was rehearsing more than before with others, who were also spending a lot of time together at the rehearsal place. That extensive rehearsing made the release and entire band tighter than before, which probably has a lot to do with how the album ended up being.
