Hyppy Tyhjyyteen by Reesus: A Hardcore Punch to the Gut
Let’s get one thing straight—Hyppy Tyhjyyteen isn’t just another rock album. This 2008 Finnish beast from Reesus, released under Palokka Records, slaps you awake with its raw hardcore energy. It’s like someone took all your pent-up frustration, cranked it up to eleven, and turned it into forty minutes of sonic chaos. And honestly? That’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
The opening track, Jungle, is an absolute sledgehammer. Right off the bat, it grabs you by the throat with this relentless riff that feels like running through a storm of broken glass. The vocals are gritty as hell—like they’re screaming right in your face about something you’ve been too scared to admit to yourself. I dunno how to explain it, but every time I hear those first few seconds, I feel my pulse quicken. It’s not even just the music; there’s this weird sense of freedom buried in the chaos, like letting go of everything holding you back. You know that feeling when you're pissed off but also kinda... alive? Yeah, that’s Jungle.
Another standout for me has gotta be Kunnes Silmäni Suljen. This one sneaks up on you. At first, it’s slower, almost brooding compared to the rest of the album. But then BAM—it explodes into this emotional whirlwind that hits so damn hard. The lyrics stick with you long after the song ends, and I swear, there’s a line in there that feels like it was written specifically for whatever crap you’re going through. It’s heavy—not just musically, but emotionally too. Like, holy shit, did they really just pour their soul out like that? Respect.
Now, don’t get me wrong—the other tracks aren’t filler by any means. Mätä Omena brings some serious attitude, while Taikakone feels like a fever dream trapped inside a mosh pit. Even Vana closes things out with this lingering tension that leaves you thinking, “Wait...is it over already?” But honestly, it’s Jungle and Kunnes Silmäni Suljen that make me wanna hit repeat until my ears bleed.
Here’s the kicker though—this album doesn’t try to be perfect. There are rough edges everywhere, moments where it feels like it might fall apart at any second. And maybe that’s why it works so well. It’s messy, loud, and unapologetically real. Kinda like life itself, ya know?
So yeah, if you’re looking for polished production or radio-friendly hooks, this ain’t it. But if you want something that punches you in the chest and makes you feel alive again, give Hyppy Tyhjyyteen a spin. Oh, and here’s a random thought: listening to this album feels like eating spicy food—you hate it at first, but then you can’t stop coming back for more. Weird analogy, I know, but trust me, it fits.
