This is the first album in nearly 6 years for Karjalan Sissit, but it for sure
is an opus that will enter into the bandÆs history. The title sounds like a
misplaced, but freaky wish, which was inspired by the influential sources of
this project.
Mastermind Markus Personen always has been inspired by the darkest themes in
life, which mainly reflect social items. The vocals have been sung and produced
a heavy screaming way. It all sounds like Personen is exorcising his own demons
in life while the sound has been empowered by industrial percussion and
tormenting ambient atmospheres.
Electronic manipulations and guitar effects both create a disturbing sound
evoking cold, cellar atmospheres and harsh screams reminding me of legendary
acts like Last few Days and Brighter Death Now. The cadence has been sometimes
empowered and accentuated by martial inspired rhythms. Both debut tracks
ôKantapΣΣ Lapiossaö and ôVittumainen YksinΣisyysö truly are masterpieces
standing for the resurrection of Karjalan Sissit. This industrial-ambient style
sounds like the last gate to hell.
We next enter into quieter, but still tormented sound fields. The vocals are
somewhat spooky now or alternating whispering- and screaming parts (cf. ôFirman
Isoin Puliukkoö).
But thatÆs just a better way to get back to the heavy side of this work, which
also stands for the extreme tormenting sound emerging from ôLΣpi ElΣmΣn
Helvetinö. This track appears to be one of the best cuts ever written by
Karjalan Sissit. It reflects one of the highest imaginable states of terror
symbolized by music. ItÆs a mix of ambient and industrial elements, but
empowered by a ritual touch as well and epic arrangements. ôTotaalinen Kaaosö
is one more master piece and quite similar to the formula of ôLΣpi ElΣmΣn
Helvetinö.
I donÆt know if Markus Personen, Peter BjΣrg÷ and Forn Bragman found their
inspiration in alcohol, but theyÆve achieved one of the darkest and most
terror-like releases of their career.
Conclusion: ôàWant You Deadö definitely stands for the darkest and most
gore-like productions in the industrial-ambient genre. ItÆs a masterpiece
touched by the genius of dark demons.
