Best small records of 2012 by Krogh
3. Kylmä Sota / Ydintuho split ep
Usually it's one band on a split that steals the show, but not when comes to this one. Kylmä Sota have always been great with the ear piercing guitars and their joining of Japanese and old Finnish hardcore and this is no exception. By the way, aren't they quite Mob47 sounding on this one? Ydintuho were a new acquaintance and I would lie if I said that I didn't get this split for the KS side - but damn these guys are great! Like a mix of early Cimex, late Kyklooppien Sukupuutto (can't exactly explain this, but the thought refuses to leave me) and good old Finnish råpunk.
