What is there to hear there is melodic metal - folk influences are difficult to discern. "Kymijoen Lautturit" yet convinced by his energy and the typical Finnish flair. All texts are in Finnish. From the first piece of the band powert going huge - breathers are rare. Viikate offer but, despite tremendous aggressiveness, certainly not mindless Brutal Metal. The compositions are consistent and thoughtful. Of the vocal melodies ago Viikate are instantly recognizable as a Finnish band.
