Terminal CD

These Finnish titans have made a terrifying total of around fifty-six records in their twenty years of existence, extending across a parade of styles from krautrock to metal to psychedelia and wherever they damn well please. 'Terminal' however, might just be their greatest yet - a foolhardy and ferociously audacious melange of Stoogian guitar infernos, motorik magnificence and prog pomposity which still manages to ultimately sound like no-one else but this band in all their theatrical and bombastic glory. It's already been proven as scientifically impossible not to play air guitar to the title track herein, whose demonic riffola and pulverising rhythmic drive are unlikely to be bettered this year, and it's only one highlight on a wild ride of rock dementia that's almost indecently invigorating to behold.
