The band comments:
“In order to create something new, the old must burn in a Bonfire. Later, a new world, the new Northern Genocide, is born from the ashes. Faced with the new, we decided, with the power of a new voice, to pay a tribute to the old. This was the beginning of this legendary Finnish pop-rock song reheated through the grate of Northern Genocide. What would heat up a cold autumn evening better than the flames of Bonfire. Nothing.”
Northern Genocide has always been about finding new ways of combining musical elements without genre restrictions. It all started as an industrial metal project in 2010 aiming to combine exciting electronic elements with aggressive metal riffs. Today it could be described as modern metal or melodic death metal. NG has always embraced the freedom to create music exactly the way they want. Because of that, all of their releases have a distinct sound that has evolved over the years. The first releases ”Atlantis” and ”Planet Asylum” are known for their aggressive synth driven tracks but the latest two releases ”Genesis vol. 666” and ”The Point of No Return” already featured more melodic and orchestral elements. Strong and complex guitar riffs combined with aggressive growl vocals have always the core of their sound.
In 2025 NG is working on 3rd full lenght studio album with new vocalist Joni Parkkinen. The album will come out in 2026.
