Jani Kaunis & The Puukot / Kohtalon Rummut

It begins with a shriek — high, electric, animalistic.

Jani Kaunis doesn’t wake up. He resurrects — migraine looming, unfinished business clinging to him like smoke in his coat.

Kothalon Rummut is not a song.
It is an escape.

Fast. Restless. Thudding like a hare’s heartbeat through snowblind forests. The drums land as if the earth itself is hitting back. The guitars claw like midwinter’s sharpest frost.

There is no tranquility here — only motion.

Away — from the beast, the truth, or maybe just the gnawing fangs of one’s own conscience.

“Some stains don’t come out. Not with soap, not with time, not even with Minttu. I stopped trying.
Now I let it soak in — like winter into bones.”
– Mr. Kaunis

Where its predecessor Tappava Tie crept through shadows, Kothalon Rummut charges in steel-shod strides.

This is rautalanka without mercy.

No one waits for redemption — only for someone to pay.

“I dream of snow that never melts and blood that never dries. I wake up sweating, fists clenched, heart pounding like an old kick drum. I tell myself it was just a dream.
But I know better.”
– Mr. Kaunis

The gospel continues.
The drums do not stop.

Bio

Jani Kaunis & The Puukot are the finest popular orchestra from the North. Pure emotion and elegance, driven by the modern beauty of electrically amplified guitars.

Proper art for everything between the cradle and the grave — for eyes rapt in reverence, gazing blissfully skyward — whether toward crystal chandeliers or the mosquito-netted sunroofs of a caravan.

The music is called rautalanka
a northern fusion of the saddest country and the twangiest surf, like the Louvin Brothers in Hawaiian shirts beneath a twisted, naked Finnish birch.
