Aittala: “Ill Gotten Gains” Digital 21st November 2025 Exitus Stratagem Records. Dutch Heavy Metal band.
The band once again released and EP, they have decided to keep it as digital to get more into today’s vibe. It is not easy for a band those days to release all of the format to please the fans. It is also an easy way to pull out music without spending too much money.
Keeping that heavy down tuned riffs, melancholic parts. It’s always deep in the chest with power and truth. Each track has a life, yet linked to each others, a kind of following of the previous EP. Explosive visual for a cover that will catch attention. Aittla delivers each time a powerful and memorable music to be remembered in years to come.
“The album artwork is an updated interpretation of our mascot Frank, which is a cartoon pig head in a pentagram created back in 2014 based on the song ‘Pigs’ from the album ‘Effigy’ (2014).”
Check it out:
Influences: Mastodon, Eyehate God, Baroness, Crowbar, Katatonia, Pantera, Honey For Christ, and many more.
Five tracks to groove your life for days. Those songs are so heavy it gets into deep inside your metal heart. You will play them again and again.
Aittla has their own style of Metal passing through the years, we can hope someday to have a full length album again or a compilation about their life history.
In the meantime I let you enjoy this new masterpiece 100/100.
