Accolades for Tulikoira
The fold out of the CD reveals the large letters NWOFHM, a Finnish pisstake on the semi obscure slogan New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and that gives us some clue that CIRCLE have returned to the psycho hardcore of their brilliant 2002 album Sunrise. Finland's finest export have scaled back the krautrock and minimalist sounds in favour of raging lunatic metal punk with indecipherable and insane Finnish vocals, odd sounds, and amazingly tight musicianship, yet what they play never comes close to standard fare. When you listen to Circle it is so apparent this is a band that has something truly special going on, and that they are without a doubt at the height of their powers.
