Maailma loppuu by Stolen Kidneys

Since its inception back in 2009, Stolen Kidneys has been spreading it’s noise-rockish sludgy hardcore across Europe. Think of early 90’ post-hardcore bands in the vein of Unwound and Slint downtuning their guitars and aspiring to sound as heavy as Breach or Neurosis.

After their final tour in Russia (2019) before the world as we knew it ceased to exist, it was discussed that the trio would expand their horizons and seek out a fourth member to handle vocals. That fourth member was found pretty quickly and the band started to write and rehearse material early 2020, which would turn into the sophomore album ”Maailma loppuu”. Maailma loppuu will be co-released on July 23rd on vinyl by Kohina Records (Finland), minoRobscuR (Germany) and Drown Within Records (Italy). The Cassette and CD versions will be solely released by Trepanation Recordings (United Kingdom).

Maailma loppuu was recorded and mixed at Tonehaven Recording Studio in the Finnish countryside of Lievestuore, Finland, back in August 2020 by Tom Brooke. This is not the first time the band has decided to record here, since their debut full-length, Ruin, was also brought to life here. Other Finnish acts such as Oranssi Pazuzu and Kairon:IRSE have had their highly acclaimed albums recorded here. Mastering duties were handled by the one and only Pentti Dassum of the legendary Deep Turtle. The photograph on the cover was taken by Iiris Tuisku.
