KIUAS was formed in the year 2000, these Finnish hybrid metallers mix clean vocals with death metal, sprinkled with an amount of heroic power on top. Kiuas’s self-financed pre-Spinefarm releases “The Discipline of Steel” 2002 and “Born Under the Northern Lights” 2003 got rave reviews upon their release, and with those releases’ success the band was briefly signed onto the now defunct Rage of Achilles (UK).
After only a short stint of working together, the label had to eventually let their bands go due to financial problems, and Kiuas was cast out among others. RoA released 2004 EP “Winter in June”. The salvation came in the form of Spinefarm Records.
So the Kiuas saga continued with their debut album “The Spirit of Ukko”, an album paying homage to the Finnish Zeus: Ukko, the mightiest one! Springtime of 2005 saw the release of this melodic, aggressive and graceful debut that, not naming any influences, bore a streak of tantalizing resemblances to some good old metal bands.
After being released in Japan by Universal Music, “The Spirit of Ukko” was carried all the way to the land of the rising sun where Kiuas played their debut gig. After Japan Kiuas toured Finland extensively, and then headed to the studio to record a follower to their debut.

Ilja left? Fuck. Loss of a vocalist or a songwriter are the best ways to ruin a perfectly good band.

Yeah, I would've preferred the original style more, but whatever. The genre has changed, but I still enjoy Kiuas immensely. I enjoy all their albums. Spirit of Ukko on top, Reformation on the bottom. The new ones are different, but musically very good.

Not interested in Lustdriven (or any of their other albums tbh), but The Spirit of Ukko is pretty good. Not amazing, but it does have some great songs (see: Warrior Soul).
