G0ri Thank you so much for this experience. I‘m living in a city in southern germany and it‘s like you are getting teleported in the trist, cold wilderness of northern finland. There is so much to discover on this album. It just swallows you and makes you freezing cold. This is the highlight of the discography for me.

about

Ruumisto’s second full length album, titled “Nälkäjärvi” (“Lake of Hunger”), takes the listener on a strenuous journey through history. Perhaps being the most versatile album yet, “Nälkäjärvi” introduces some sonic elements that have not been present in Ruumisto’s music before.

Thematically, the album focuses on some of the darker periods of the history of Finland, more specifically, Kainuu, including the famine of 1866-1868, and the Great Northern War. Thus, “Nälkäjärvi” may be labeled as the unofficial history of suffering in the Kainuu region of Finland in musical and lyrical form.

Texts in spoken passages by:
Tracks 1 & 9 Immi Hellén
Tracks 2, 3 & 8 Eino Leino
Track 5 Santeri Ivalo
Track 8 Panssarijääkäri K.K.

It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit. Hedensk Hjerte

Very calm, soothing, yet strong and evocative melodies. Great introduction into the world of Forndom and a true, even if a bit short, escape from the world of men. Anders Kvistr

Music that has nothing to prove which has not already proved and nothing to expect when there is nothing to be expected and that is so liberating :) nakilep
