I already reviewed and praised the previous demo work «Verityot» recorded two years ago by this Finnish act. The obscure death metal we’re talking about here reminds me of old Morbid Angels black death releases. The band’s second demo «Silvottuna Ja Häpäistynä» also contains variants of black death metal. There is a bit of almost everything here from oppressive black metal atmospheres to fast paced guitar solo actions (as witnessed by the multi structured song «Kylmä Ydin» which is for my opinion the best song recorded by Ydin ‘till now). Fortunately, Ydin’s song-writers combine and amalgamate the different influences / references well enough to make it into a coherent general structure and as a matter of fact to make it into a pleasant listen. Everything is thus in the right measure here and «Silvottuna Ja Häpäistynä» with its fast and aggressive guitar work (for my opinion the band’s best trademark), efficient rhythmic section and harsh vocal works means very good extreme death black metal.
