 KIUAS – The Spirit Of Ukko
Raged metal onslaught of swift tempos of progressive guitar works KIUAS completes an ultimate rush of progressive thrash metal so unlike what the promotional sheet labels the bands music.

Nonetheless this bunch of Finnish gents create some interesting musical forms of fast and furious guitar speeds more in the vein of early metal heroes of Dream Theatre and countless others.
