about
Riitasointu was formed in summer 2020 by its two core members Jesse and Kasper. The band utilizes the poems and tales of legendary Finnish author, Aleksis Kivi. The music could be described roughly as melodic extreme metal blended with Finnish Folk Music. Their first release 'Kanervakankaalla' introduces the many colours of Riitasointu. Highly melodic, yet melancholic guitar leads combined with primitive and gloomy atmopshere. Riitasointu’s first full length album 'Pedon Leikki' tells tales from the old Tavastia region. Eight Finnish Folk Black Metal songs filled with ancient atmosphere, melody and power. The record features poems and words of national author Aleksis Kivi.
