This CD collects all of Riistetyt's material from their reformation in 1999
to the present. Included are the Tervetuola Kuolema 7" (Fight/Havoc, 2000),
Kuka Valehtelee? LP (Fight Records, 2001), Orjat Ja Kurkat 10" (Fight, 2003)
and the latest Kahleet 7" (Havoc, 2005). Plus, there are 3 bonus tracks from
the Kahleet session that aren't on the 7". Riistetyt were famous in the 80's
for playing hardcore thrash influenced by Chaos UK, Discharge and Disorder.
Their modern sound picks up the progression of this style of Finnish
hardcore and adds a deeper, heavier, more brutal tone more in line with
modern Scandinavian crust. The Discharge/UKHC influence and the classic
Finnish sound are still the main elements. However, the production and
musicianship are more up to speed with current hardcore sounds. A lot of old
bands get back together to cash in on their old material. Riistetyt has
taken the old sound and updated it, and their new material shows what
experienced hardcore players can bring to the table. One of very few bands
from the 80's who's current material is not only on par with their original
output, but on par with contemporary bands as well. Includes lyrics in
Finnish and English. The lyrics deal with a lot of "dark" topics, war,
persecution, death. But this morbid outlook is more from a stance of protest
than just reacting to the horror. The music and lyrics together express
outrage at the death, injustice and oppression rampant in the world today. |

Riistetyt's US tour will have come and gone by the time this column sees
print and, hopefully, you got to see them. At this writing, the Boston show
is about a week away and this disc, which anthologizes their 7"s, LP and a
10" over the past five years, is getting me pumped up. A legendary Finnish
hardcore band who broke up in -85 and re-formed in -99 and the current
incarnation includes two people from Oback in the day, vocalist Lazze and
bassist Nappi. No watered-down stab at old glories, either. Riistetyt still
sound as angry and fired-up as ever. The hallmark Finnish sound that takes a
page from Discharge and revs it up with bulldozer bass, quick-paced drumming
and furious guitar riffs. Working in a few modern Scandinavian hardcore
touches and the cleaner production makes it sound contemporary but the
effect isn¹t too clean or diluted. Blazing at full speed, along with some
songs that slow it down to an intensive stomp, such as the closing track, a
remake of the older song "Yön Painajainen" (Nightmare). Havoc are doing
several Riistetyt releases for the tour
"Skitsofrenia" and "Valtion Vankina", which are limited to 500 each, a
reissue of an older 7", "Tuomiopaiva" that includes a couple songs not on
the original pressing, plus a new 7" called "Kahleet" (these tracks are on
the CD along with three other songs from that session). Old or new, it gives
a solid kick in the ass. |
