CARTILAGE (fin) cover song included on the upcoming album Nordic Embryogenesis to be released on September 9th, 2026 on CD, 12LP, Cassette & Digital formats through Xtreem Music (https://www.xtreemmusic.com)
Not everything coming out of Finland was dark and heavy Death Metal, which was perhaps what attracted me the most to that scene, over the Swedish one, where many bands tended to sound much more alike. A perfect example of Finlands diversity was CARTILAGE, who combined intense, twisted and highly structured Death Metal with beautifully crafted melodies and, above all, the incredible drumming of a very young Kai Hahto, who would later go on to play in bands such as ROTTEN SOUND, WINTERSUN, NIGHTWISH, and many others. His technique was far beyond what you would expect from an 18-year-old back then, when the influences and learning resources available were nothing like they are today.
Although their second demo, In Godly Flesh (1991), is one of my favourite recordings from the entire Finnish scene, I decided to choose this particular song, which appeared on their 1992 split album with the Swedish band ALTAR. In fact, those five tracks were originally intended to become their third demo, but I was the one who suggested releasing them as a split, since ALTAR had also just recorded their third demo, and putting out another EP felt a bit too short. In the end, it became one of the most highly regarded split albums of that era. This song also featured a spoken section in the middle, which I wasnt quite sure how to approach at first, but I think I eventually managed to pull it off quite convincingly.
Unfortunately, after that recording, CARTILAGE joined the long list of bands that never went on to record a full-length album. Im convinced it would have become one of the true classics of Finnish Death Metal. I have absolutely no doubt about that. The musicians later went on to play in bands such as VOMITURITION and ENOCHIAN CRESCENT, among many others. [Dave Rotten]")

PHLEGETHON cover song included on the upcoming album Nordic Embryogenesis to be released on September 9th, 2026 on CD, 12LP, Cassette & Digital formats through Xtreem Music (https://www.xtreemmusic.com)
Were back in Finland with one of the most challenging songs of the whole project, not only because its 7 minutes long, but also due to its complex structures, constant tempo changes and... fuck, it felt like it was never going to end, haha! This track comes from Neutral Forest, the second demo recorded in 1990 by the Finnish band PHLEGETHON. Their first demo was excellent, with a rawer and wilder style, but I think it was on this second one that the band reached its compositional peak. This song is almost like two songs in one. It has everything: intensity, melody, aggression, brutality and atmosphere...
This demo was an absolute gem, and what struck me the most were the band photos. The members were barely 16 years old, which means they had started the band when they were only 14! Even so, they already showed an incredible ability to write songs, generally long, full of nuances and quite different from what was happening in Finland at the time, partly thanks to the strong Thrash influence running through their compositions.
After these two demos they recorded an EP in 1991 that kept the same high standard, but in 1995 they released another demo that drifted somewhat away from their original style, and shortly afterwards the band split up. In 2005, Lasse Pyykkö, the mastermind behind HOODED MENACE, recorded two demos and a few standalone tracks under the PHLEGETHON name, although the band never truly reunited. Even so, PHLEGETHON remains one of my all-time favourite Finnish Death Metal bands, and Neutral Forest is still an absolute classic that I never get tired of listening to. [Dave Rotten]")
