This piece was also on their recent live album "Raunio". Does anyone know
when "Alotus" is supposed to come out?

That sounds like an exact description of the lead-off track on "Sunrise"
right down to the Judas Priest sound, but I guess its not, since you say

Also on "Raunio"! If you don't have that yet get it immediately. Recently
reissued on Squealer with a long mellow-ish bonus track.

Was Potto buried in a scree of noise the way it was on "Raunio"?

Thanks for the review!
