Yea-hah...Slussenanalys is back with a new...single?...I'd hoped the Finnish band might have enough material by now to record a complete album's worth of music!I mean, the band's debut album, Aquila Helvetos Asfaltos (re-issued on CD earlier this year – see review by yours truly posted 24/07/2013 for additional details) was already released at the end of 2011 so, is it that inconceivable then, that the band might have written enough material by now?
When you'll check the atlas for the hometown of this Heavy Metal act, you'll find that Mikkeli is a relatively small place in the middle-of-nowhere of Finland, some 225 km NW from Helsinki, situated at the northern side of Lae Saimaa.

The biggest challenge while writing this review is writing it while listening to the new EP by the Finnish Perikato, as their new album, Kovat Ajat, lasts just a bit more than six minutes.
Kovat Ajat is already their third record and it sounds like banging your head against the wall non-stop. The music goes way too fast and is not even enjoyable to listen to.
