Hollow
Album: Cursed
Released: Mar 15, 2011
Label: Relapse Records




The Finnish up-tempo-junkies, Rotten Sound, has been delivering their top notch grind with crust and death influences since the forming of the band on one crazy night in July of 1993. Their upcoming album, Cursed, is going to drop a few new jaws among the ones, that have been gasping for air after every earlier release. "We wanted to stay in the grind-core genre, but the album contains also dark and heavy moments right before your ears are getting maimed again by insane drumming, crushing guitars, distorted bass and senseless screaming" says the the vocalist Keijo Niinimaa, who has been in the band since the very beginning and has seen the evolution from crust to grind and beyond.

Lyrically Cursed takes the listeners behind the scenes of the global tragedy we experience on daily basis. "After the apocalyptic Cycles I started to think about the reasons behind all the problems we cause to ourselves and this planet. I found myself studying the human nature and I came up with the six curses of humanity that degrade all of us generation after generation, culture after culture and disaster after disaster." continues Niinimaa about the lyrical content of the album.

Rotten Sound has been touring actively since the beginning of the millennium and is always looking for possibilities to conquer new territories while they continue pounding Europe and USA over and over again with their auditory assaults. Their long touring history consist of shared shows with Carcass, Disfear, Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ, Misery Index, Sayyadina, Magrudergrind, Trap Them and Aborted to mention a few of fellows in crime. Their next assignment is the participation to the follow-up of highly successful "Finnish Metal Tour". Part two is also taking place in the North America and Rotten Sound performs as the direct support to the co-headlining countrymen Finntroll and Ensiferum. Package is being opened by the progressive-death-rock-super-group Barren Earth.

After the US-crusade they will head back to Europe to start their fourth headlining tour with Trap Them (US), Gaza (US), Nails (US) and Haust (NOR). "This tour is a real dream-come-true to us: having these four bands in the same bill makes us honored and we are very happy to see all of them live every night." states Keijo Niinimaa. Then, in the summer of 2011, Rotten Sound expects to hit as many festivals as their schedule allows to make sure, that all the grind-, metal-, death-, crust- and whatever-heads will see them playing live.
