Ten thousand years ago Finland, like most of northern Europe, was still the grip of the latest ice age. When the glaciers started to melt, they turned into vast icy torrents flowing into the newly formed Baltic Sea. As the millennia passed, one of these ancient riverbeds became known as the Mätäjoki, or the Rotten River, long at the centre of much of Finnish folklore. It is from this mud-infused source that the titular Rotten River Blues Band naturally take their own inspiration and influence, with their roots firmly planted in said tributary’s upstream swamps, as well as others around the Überverse, as this third album demonstrates.
