So, you’re in the market for an album full of moody melancholy and memorable melodies, yet still devastating heaviness? Of course you are, so look no further than the admirably ambitious, wonderfully versatile, professionally performed and produced Kuusumu. TL:DR; practically perfect.

This is a very good album, with such a doom and gloom sound, and a dark melancholic vibe to it. For me this sounds like a more enjoyable version of Brave Murder Day, which is a highly rated album that I really couldn't get into.

Comparing to recent STS album, this one is far better. It's still this nordic melodic doom, but with this finnish melanholy and kaamos vibes.

Would this album be better in English? I doubt so, it's has own fan base, and it's good even finnish language sounds a bit as funeral, but it's good death doom, coming from the north.

Such a beautiful album, full of bewitching melodies and powerful passages. I love how they overlap the two kind of voices and how they seem to disolve into the music. Mesmerizing.

Started off really strong and ended strong, but some of the songs in between are a little bland to me. Might give it another listen to see what I missed since its so similar to StS.

Took me a few spins to really get into it, I wasn't sure at first. Ten listens through and I'm now completely hooked. Excellent album that doesn't extend its stay, very dense, yet equally rich. Kötamaki delivers a stellar performance and I the guitar work is beyond what I expected. Even Kurun Synfonia, which seemed weak at first to me, gives a little breather for the second part. One of my top album this year so far.

I added my own translations of the lyrics, in case anybody is interested. I'm not a native Finnish speaker, but good enough.

Whenever I write something funny, weird, or pretentious... I learned English by playing Baldur's Gate, okay?

Great work man....great effort to help people like us to understand what the album is all about.

A really good album. 'Katkeruuden Malja' and 'Pedon Vaisto' got me hooked to the album for so many days.
