KOUTA (FIN)
KOUTA is a folk black-metal band from Finland. The band was formed at the end of 2021 and is inspired by Norse mythology and unforgiving nature. Their music is a unique blend of black-metal, melodies and traditional folk elements that create a sense of darkness and grandeur at the same time. The band released their full-fledged debut Kaarnaköydet in April 2023, and just before the start of the Under the Pale Skies tour, during which KOUTA will also visit Brno, the band played at the sold-out Tuska festival in Finland.
