FullMetalAttorney, November 20th, 2010  Sotajumala (Finnish for
"wargod") is a death metal band from Finland. I've had their
2004 debut Death Metal Finland for quite a while now, so when I
saw their new release Kuolemanpalvelus had come out, I jumped on
it immediately.  The band does nothing high-brow, and they don't
do melodic, technical, progressive, or any other evolved death
metal. This is very straightforward, early Florida-style death
metal, with emphasis on crunchy riffs over anything else. Only
two things set them apart: 1) Finnish lyrics, and 2) a guitar
tone with a slightly industrial flavor.  Compared to their
debut, little has changed. The drumming and lead guitar are
improved, and the production is much cleaner. Highlights of the
album include "Sokeus" (mostly for the solos), the slower tempo
"Luut Sinusta Muistattaen",
