Bloody Falls has always been about dreams, and even though the songs often break them, the band’s story itself has been colored by great events that have already come true. Greek Stavros Mathios moved to Finland at the age of 21 to follow his dream to form a metal band, and like a stealth Bloody Falls has become one of Finland’s most successful new metal acts. The collaboration with Art Gates Records expanded to the company’s live side last year with the Art Gates Events contract.
The single Mother, Your Son Is Bleeding, released today, and the music video for it, lay the foundation for the IV album, which will be released on June 5th. The sound of both this single and the entire upcoming studio album were created by Max Morton, who is famous for producing Jinjer, among others.
“This song is a real-life, lyrically profound piece. The lyrics and music go hand in hand, conveying a story of frustration and anger. Over the years, you meet a lot of people and hear their stories, some of those stories are wonderful, others are sad. This song is a sad story about a mother’s neglect and a stepfather’s physical violence. The story does not tell the life of a single person, but rather a collection of stories heard over the years. The music accompanies the lyrics of the song emotionally. The album will be the band’s best yet, and the unique power of this song cannot be ignored in the overall picture,” says Stavros Mathios.
Bloody Falls, who wear their black-talking energy in the guise of death and black metal influences in a powerful groove, have also made steady strides forward on the live front, and the band has been seen taking their first steps abroad in addition to Finnish clubs and festivals. These adventures will continue later this year.
Bloody Falls will be seen live this spring in Finland as follows:
8.5. Semifinal – Helsinki (+ Torchia)
9.5. Nirvana – Turku (+ Torchia + Einvigi)
13.6. Bar Kotelo – Tampere (+ Torchia + Numento)
