The Finnish extreme metal band Saasta<\/strong>, hailing from Kotka, has released a 12-track album titled “Cesspool”<\/em>. The new record makes no pretense of being anything other than what it is: rotten, heavy, and merciless. The album is divided into two parts: The Sanctum<\/em> and The Abyss<\/em>. The first builds a lie; the second destroys it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This isn’t a story of growth. This is a documentary of decay.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound is dynamic, intense, and unsettling\u2014surging straight ahead, at times even painful to listen to. On the vocal side, Leevi K\u00e4rs\u00e4m\u00e4<\/strong> uses his entire vocal range, from the lowest growls to piercing screams, which bind Topias Jokipii<\/strong>\u2019s raw guitar sound, Janne Hietanen<\/strong>\u2019s brooding bass, and Jimi Lahtinen<\/strong>\u2019s aggressive drumming into a single cohesive whole. Each song is part of the same pressure that builds and eventually collapses under its own weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen everything is stripped away, all that remains is what can no longer be hidden.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album was recorded at Saasta\u2019s home studio in Kotka during 2025. Ben Jones<\/strong> handled the mixing and mastering; his touch can also be heard on Saasta\u2019s previous release, \u201cBlack|Death|Doom\u201d<\/em> (EP, 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is accompanied by five music videos, four of which were released before the album\u2019s release. And the final The Plagued<\/em> is now also released and you can watch it from HERE<\/a>. All of the videos were produced by Saasta in a raw DIY spirit, with the support of a large group of volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album\u2019s release and distribution are handled by the Finnish label Inverse Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
