Rautakantele is a 1995 album by the Finnish rock group CMX. "Rautakantele" is Finnish and means "The Iron Kantele".

Contents

Rautakantele is the most stylistically eclectic of CMX's albums. Despite the uneven quality of production in the album (reputedly, the producer forgot to edit the entire drums track), Rautakantele's lyrics and rugged sound convey the message of an increasing streak of social criticism effectively. Billy Gould of Faith No More named Rautakantele his favourite album of 1995.
