Finnish industrial metal band Ruoska, formed in 2002, will release their sixth studio album, Kade, on 27 February via Inverse Music Group. The band have now shared the second and final single, "Ikirouta", ahead of the album's release.
When the mood darkens and despair rears its head, "Ikirouta" hits you in the face with memories, biting into your bones and core like a freezing winter wind.
Based on audience reactions at recent gigs, "Ikirouta" proved that there is demand among Ruoska fans for heavy, slow-tempo tracks. The feedback on the song surprised the band members themselves, even though "Ikirouta" breaks the traditional boundaries of Ruoska.
For the first time, Ruoska combines powerful distorted guitars with stunning orchestral arrangements in a way that reveals new nuances with each listen. "Ikirouta" keeps its listeners in a strong grip, creating a chilling and gloomy mental landscape that only a Finn can understand.
Ruoska will also embark on an album‑release tour, set to begin once the album is out. Link
