Finnish metallers Bloodred Hourglass will release their seventh album, We Should Be Buried Like This, on October 3rd. The band’s most aggressive full-length album consists of songs from the end of time, and will also feature guest soloists for the first time. This is how the band describes the upcoming album:
“We Should Be Buried Like This is our most honest and uncompromising album to date. It doesn’t ask questions or embellish; we don’t try to console, explain or prove anything – we say what had to be said.
For us, the album is a collection of end-of-the-world songs – not just about the end of the world, but also about certain feelings, beliefs and illusions. In the songs, love is just an echo, sacrifices feel empty and every feeling is an open wound. We deal with the decay of humanity, the mistakes repeated from generation to generation, the spirit of the times that feeds indifference, hatred and detachment, as well as self-centeredness and individualism that has grown to unhealthy proportions. The future looks black, and unfortunately it no longer scares us, but feels inevitable.
Musically, we are close to our own core: the album exudes raw, intense energy and guaranteed catchy melodic beauty and strength – a recognizable BRHG sound. We have also included a last breath of new elements: guest voices and moments where we reach outside the box. It feels especially good to stand on our own strong foundations, without the need to prove anything to anyone.
At the heart of the album is a feeling: letting go – without twisting, without filters. Total frustration with the status quo and smoldering anger erupt in the lyrics and explode in every riff. This is an album that was born from a compelling need to tear open and say things as they are. Perhaps that is why this became the most aggressive and straightforward whole we have ever made – and perhaps that is why it looks the most like us.”
In addition to the traditional vinyl and CD formats, the album is available as a limited edition Splatter vinyl and a double CD, which includes a bonus live album of a concert with the Mikkeli City Orchestra, “Live With St. Michel Strings”. Pre-orders for the album are now open.
