Bloody Falls, the metal quintet formed in 2017 in Valkeakoski, Finland, just released their fourth studio album, “IV,” via Art Gates Records. The album delves into classic metal territory, drawing on themes ranging from the horsemen of the Apocalypse to the rise of the devil and the darker sides of humanity. The band considers “IV” a decisive step in their evolution, with the final sound shaped by producer Max Morton, known for his work with Jinjer, and evocative cover art by Jesus Lhysta (The Rotted Artist). Collaborating with this creative team has helped Bloody Falls hone their identity and perfect their style.
We at The Offering had the opportunity to sit down with guitarist and founding member Stavros Mathios to discuss the making of “IV.” In this interview, we explore the album’s writing and recording process, relive their releaseshow at Bar Kotelo in Tampere on June 13, and take a look at the band’s upcoming shows around Finland.
