'''''Pedot''''' is the eleventh album of the [[Finland|Finnish]] [[Rock music|rock]] band [[CMX (band)|CMX]]. "Pedot" means "Beasts" in [[Finnish language|Finnish]].

The opening track "Eteläisen tähtitaivaan kartoitus" breaks a CMX tradition of starting their albums with powerful rock songs. It is a minimalistic [[piano]]-based [[ballad]] with no drums. The title track is [[Heavy metal music|heavy]], [[Progressive rock|progressive]] and one of the very few tracks where Tuomas Peippo makes use of [[Bass drum#Double bass drum|double bass pedals]].<ref>[http://desibeli.net/arvostelu/2054/CMX__Pedot Levyarvio: CMX: Pedot<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> "Uusi ihmiskunta" was the first single from the album (the second was "Kain"), and reached #1 on the Finnish singles chart.
