Rukous

Rukous is a hardcore/metal band from Helsinki and Palojoki, Finland, who combine hardcore punk with death, black and heavy metal elements and top it all off with lyrics from the cold real world.

Rukous has been around for a while, each band member has lived and breathed the DIY music scene for a couple of decades with history from such Finnish underground acts as Baltimor, Hexhammer, Ydintuho, Spawn From Deceit, Better Not Born, Damn Seagulls to name a few.

Rukous has released three albums, starting with their self-titled debut in 2018 and their most recent effort being the hard hitting ”Mausoleumi” LP. Each album has been released as a 12” vinyl.

Fun fact: Rukous also released a tape that contains songs from the second album ”Kaikki saastuneet tuhotaan” as a trap/rap versions. Check “Leikattu ja Ruuvattu” for further proof.

Rukous has always adhered to the DIY ethos: they recorded, mixed and mastered the first two albums by themselves: the latest album “Mausoleumi” is recorded at a rental studio but the mixing & mastering is – of course – done by Rukous.
