Rottendawn

The original idea of RottenDawn put in place by Joni Halmetoja (Legacy) and Make Mäkinen (Protected Illusion, Sinisthra). The Helsinki based doom/death unit started to progress more towards the current musical style when Pasi Äijö (Unholy) joined the ranks for the vocals and the bass duties. Mikael Arnkil (Impaled Nazarene) was later brought in action to take care of the drum artillery. The Finnish heavy music troop got signed by Saturnal Records in 2018 from where they got to start working on the debut album, suitably titled Occult. The moniker of the album sums up the core meaning of the whole band which is operating in the deepest of the dark waters sonically, mentally and lyrically. Occult is slated for worldwide release on September 6th digitally and on CD via Saturnal Records. Pasi Äijö – bass & vocals Joni Halmetoja – guitars Make Mäkinen – guitars Mikael Arnkil – drums
