Description
Take a moment and think about that. To this day there are still wars raging on and plaguing Africa and its people. Think about how long the United States has been at war and for what? Oil, minerals, drugs. Greed and corrupt ideology cloud the heads of men across the globe and affects us all.
Joonas (vox), Jirko (guitar), Toni (bass), and Efe (drums) are town cryers, newsies for our modern times. Very angry about local and worldwide atrocities, as in "Earth Torn Up and The Sky Is Bleeding Black." The last track on Congolese Sterilization, "All You Got(...And It's All You Get)" is hypnotic and haunting, washing away in fading reverb and feedback - a decrescendo of disdain and bitterness. I can say after listening to the band's debut, I am now a new fan Betelzeus!" -Shawn Gibson / Doomed & Stoned webzine
