Helsinki-based heavy metal quartet Rebellix is making a comeback to new music, louder, sharper, and ready to impress the metal crowd with their new single Gimme Gimme Gimme.
After the departure of their bassist and drummer, Rebellix took a creative break to regroup and rethink their direction. Now, about a year later, the band quickly got a new wind in their sails when bassist Mandy Finne and drummer Jani Niemelä joined. It was clear from the first rehearsals that they were the perfect addition to the band. The chemistry was immediate, and the band dived straight into new material.
The first single of the new era is also a return to Rebellix’s roots – the song stylishly combines a glam-influenced rock ‘n’ roll attitude with the band’s signature take on heavy metal.
“After a year of hiatus, we’re back with a new lineup and even hungrier than before. Gimme Gimme Gimme is a return to our roots. The song captures the energy of a wild night and the moment when one spark makes everything explode in a flash. Anything feels possible, even if the flame only burns until the next morning,” the band comments.
Produced by Tuomas Yli-Jaskari and mastered by Joona Lukala, the single was recorded at Sonic Pump Studio. Rebellix aimed for a soundscape that matches the intensity of the band, and the end result is a polished yet rugged sound that successfully conveys the band’s raw energy.
The new lineup has already proven its live energy, the next time Rebellix can be seen live at Bar Loose on May 30th. The evening will feature Freedomination, Ratbreed and Roadkill. The band will also be seen at the Baseidon event, which will be held at Bar Base in Helsinki on August 21st-22nd.
