Remember when AS THE SUN FALLS dragged us into Finland’s icy void last May? A year later, Kaamos hasn’t thawed—it’s burrowed deeper. Released May 3rd, 2024, via Theogonia Records, this album wasn’t just a blizzard of melancholic rage—it became a cult classic. Think Amorphis meets Insomnium, but with a frostbite that lingers. Still shivering? Yeah, us too.
 
Formed in 2020 by Jani Berney Mikkänen, these Finns survived more drama than a Netflix reboot—lineup shuffles, a pandemic, you name it. But once they locked in a full Finnish roster? Game over. Their 2021 debut Last Days of Light and 2023’s EP Where The Silence Reigns teased greatness, but Kaamos? It delivered. A melodic death metal opus as relentless as a polar night—and twice as dark.
 
“Joining Theogonia’s family was a turning point,” the band declared back then, like they’d shaken hands with Loki himself. And boy, did they mean it. Teaming with a label known for unleashing sonic beasts, Kaamos didn’t just melt faces—it froze them mid-headbang. A manifesto? More like a warning.
 
The vibe? Picture Lapland’s endless winter, wolves howling, your soul begging for mercy. AS THE SUN FALLS didn’t just soundtrack that despair—they weaponized it. Guitar riffs sharper than an icicle, vocals growling like a bear robbed of hibernation, melodies that haunt like midnight sun guilt.
 
Kaamos isn’t just metal—it’s a time capsule. A year on, it’s still the survival guide for anyone craving Nordic gloom. Never felt Finland’s icy grip? Let this album show you. Its frost-kissed riffs and lyrics steeped in existential frostbite? Timeless.
 
AS THE SUN FALLS didn’t just serenade us—they dragged us through soundscapes so cold, Spotify added a chill warning. A year later, Kaamos remains a masterclass in melodic despair. Crank it loud, and let it freeze your heart again.
 
PS: Theogonia Records—turns out, ice packs weren’t enough. We needed glaciers.
