As you said, it's a weird album.
This is the first time I hear something like this! Maybe after a few listens, it may change my perception.
Do you know if their other albums sound different?
This is a one-off, though. They usually don't sound like this. If you want the "real" Ajattara that sounds good, go for their debut (Itse) or the follow-up (Kuolema). The other two don't really appeal to me, honestly. With Itse and Kuolema, you can expect some mid-tempo, quite dark sound black metal with a few clean bits. Don't expect speed or blasting though. Still, those two albums are very good if you want to hear how good this band can sound.
