Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Finnish instrumental quartet delivered a thrilling, high-octane homage to global spy themes and classic 1960s guitar instrumentals. 'Instruments of Terror' infuses the reverb-drenched twang of traditional surf rock with the uniquely melancholic melodies of Finnish Rautalanka music. The band's cinematic arrangements and razor-sharp musicianship made them cult favorites among guitar aficionados worldwide.
