Everlore To Release New Album ‘Hope and Turmoil’ On March 1st

Finnish power metal band Everlore is set to release their second studio album ‘Hope and Turmoil’ on March 1st.

It’s difficult to pinpoint the actual starting point for Everlore as it slowly grew out of the “revived” jam sessions between old school mates Juuso, Petteri, and Lauri in the spring of 2013. The first demo was recorded in 2014 but released in 2015. The band released 6 singles between 2017 and 2020, and the self-titled debut album in 2020.
The road to the band’s second album ‘Hope and Turmoil’ has been a tough one due to changes in the line-up and other issues.
Drums for the new album were recorded at SN-Audio studios over one weekend in October 2021, and bass tracks followed soon. Like the bass tracks, the guitar tracks for the album were recorded at home, and were finally finished in the spring of 2022. The vocals were recorded after Arto Ala-Seppälä joined officially the band in 2023.
The recordings for album number 2 were finally done in the spring of 2024 as the final guest performances were recorded. Afer several iterations of mixes and mastering, small delays and big delays, the band have arrived at the eve of the album’s release. The album will come out on March 1st 2025 and the band will play a handful of shows to promote it.
