Death Metal Finland

Untitled

Death Metal Finland is the debut from Finnish death metal band Sotajumala. It was released on Woodcut Records in 2004. The songs are mostly written (in Finnish) by the instrumentalists themselves (much as in the case of Cannibal Corpse, one of their avowed influences), as vocalist 105 (aka Teijo Hakkola) only figures into the songwriting on one track.
