Aryokal released their debut album ‘Letters Of Last Resort’.
The album with its seven songs provides a soundtrack for the current state of decline of modern civilization and features feelings of despair, of existential dread and finality of decisions.
The music, far from your run-of-the-mill EDM, carries an underlying contemplative tone that mirrors the imagery suggested by the album title.
So, what musical genre does the album represent then?
The band describes their music as electronic music on the brink of darkness.
‘Letters Of Last Resort’ was composed and created in Helsinki between 2022-2023.
Music is composed and programmed by Antti Ruokola with Pekka Loponen doing all the singing.

Jussi Hämäläinen (from Hanging Garden, Mercury Circle) mastered the album.
