KANTALASYNDROOMA’s Debut Album “Aavan suon tuolle puolen” Out Now

Pioneering band of Finnish melancholic metal Lyijykomppania came to an end in 2022 with the passing of founding member and drummer Esa Moilanen. However, a new lineup, KantalaSyndrooma, was formed in 2023 to carry on the band’s legacy, featuring musicians who had played with Lyijykomppania over the years. Rather than a tribute act, it is a band forging its own path, though Lyijykomppania songs may occasionally be heard at their live shows.

Now the band have released its debut album, “Aavan suon tuolle puolen” (in english: Beyond the vast marsh). The band’s story will continue in the future, as the next release is already in the works. Time will tell whether it turns out to be a full-length album or an EP.

The band’s guitarist and primary songwriter Lindström speaks about the album: “‘Aavan suon tuolle puolen’ is built upon an old and proven foundation—though plenty of new building material has been added, all while respecting tradition. A few more shades of gray have been introduced to the palette, but we still refuse to pick up any colored pencils. One might use that well-worn saying: ‘those who know, know’—and the same applies to the name ‘KantalaSyndrooma’.”
