Our Take

From the murky depths of the Finnish underground emerges VIRTA, with their latest offering "Horros." This album is a sonic journey through the darkest corners of your mind, a cacophony of eerie sounds and haunting melodies that will leave you questioning reality.

The opening track, "Infernal Descent," sets the tone with its hypnotic beats and ethereal vocals, transporting you to a world of shadows and mystery. As the album progresses, tracks like "Spectral Whispers" and "Dreadful Lullaby" push the boundaries of experimental music, blending elements of shoegaze, post-rock, and black metal into a twisted symphony of sound.

VIRTA's unique ability to create a sense of unease and suspense is truly remarkable, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire album. Each track feels like a chapter in a horror novel, with unexpected twists and turns that will leave you gasping for air.

Overall, "Horros" is a chilling masterpiece that showcases VIRTA's unparalleled talent and creativity. If you're a fan of experimental music that pushes the boundaries of genre, then this album is a must-listen. Just be sure to keep the lights on while you're listening – you never know what might be lurking in the shadows.

Comprised of Juho Vehmanen and Mikko H. Haapoja, VIRTA effortlessly fuses elements of ambient, krautrock, and techno to create a sonic landscape that is both mesmerising and boundary-pushing. With Vehmanen on synths and Haapoja on drums, the duo's live shows are a sight to behold, with swirling visuals and hypnotic beats that transport audience members to another dimension. Their debut album, "Hurmos", caught the attention of critics and fans alike, earning them a nomination for the esteemed Teosto Prize in 2018. Tracks like "Aallonmurtaja" and "Tahtiin" showcase VIRTA's ability to craft intricate, layered compositions that draw listeners in and keep them hooked from start to finish. But it's not just their musical prowess that sets VIRTA apart – it's their offbeat sense of humour and infectious energy that truly make them stand out. Whether they're joking about their love of Finnish candy or sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the road, Vehmanen and Haapoja are always sure to keep things interesting. With a new album on the horizon and a growing international fanbase, VIRTA shows no signs of slowing down. Keep an eye on this dynamic duo – they're a force to be reckoned with in the world of electronic music.
