REVIEW: Finnugor - Death Before Dawn Adipocere Records, 2003
7/10
Finnugor - Death Before Dawn - cover art Finnugor, a wittily fabricated word extracted from the term “Finno-Ugric”, is an adorable way the respectively Finnish and Hungarian band members show their indestructable union and brotherly love for each other. Finnugor is, as anyone can probably guess from the album cover, black metal of some sort. The music is complete with a good amount of Cradle of Filth, “Midian” type keyboards as well as some decent forest-dancing, fertility-celebrating medieval excerpts. The female “vocals”, or rather, elevator speaking-voice is presumably done by “Domina Mystica”, whose picture indicates she is perhaps the fabricated “gothic Hooters chick” of Nikolai Stalhammar and Gabriel Wolf’s deepest, darkest fantasies. There are a slew of worthy riffs throughout the album, though the music overall sounds like enless sounding-out of frail guitars sandwiched by one-liner riffs and dime-a-dozen forceless blasting. This is probably most definitely the world’s finest, truly “Finno-Ugrian” band.
