“On this new album, we’ve kept the most aggressive elements of Kiuas,” says guitarist Mikko Salovaara, “everything is very raw and in your face. At the same time, however, we’ve pushed the epic, orchestral side to new heights, and although you’ll find some of our fastest and heaviest songs here, we’ve tried to maintain a real sense of melody throughout.”
At the moment, UK shows are being lined up for later in the year, and of course Kiuas are no strangers to these shores, having played here with both CHILDREN OF BODOM and FIREWIND; they also appeared at the Hard Rock Hell festival in Prestatyn, Wales, back in 2009.
The track 'Aftermath' is currently streaming on the band's MySpace page.
