Anima Hereticae interview

Anima Hereticae is a Finnish Blackened Death Metal band, their debut album “Descended From The Mountains” was released in 2023.
At the end of August the band officially announced Jussi Matilainen (Where’s My Bible) as their new vocalist. Anima Hereticae is currently working on new material that promises to be very interesting.
Our reporter Cristina had the opportunity to sit down with Taneli Jämsä and Jussi Matilainen before their show at MonoMassive in Pori and talk about the changing in the line-up, the debut album, and much more.

Hey guys, how are you doing?

T: We are doing well. It’s a crazy September and it’s very warm here in Finland, not so typical but it is perfect.

Two days ago it was around 27.5 C and people were wearing jackets, What is wrong with them?!
But let’s talk about your band, Anima Hereticae; First of all I am curious about the name, why did you choose this name?

T: It is a long story. When we formed the band, me and Ville the former singer were talking about what name would fit us and we came up with this one. The words Anima and Hereticae go well together, it sounds very good in my opinion. This is basically the story of the name.

I was curious because it is Latin, maybe it is unusual for Finnish band to choose Latin words, or I don’t know if there are many bands who are naming themself with Latin  words.
Jussi is the new singer…

T: Yes, and today Jussi is for the first time officially the singer of Anima Hereticae on the stage. He did some gigs with us this summer but it was not official yet.

J: Especially in Lahti.

Was it easy to get Jussi in your band? I mean choose a new singer?

T: Yes, because Jussi did some gigs with us before and everyone knows Jussi well. We thought, why don’t we ask Jussi about this first. And Jussi said…

J: And I said okay.

T: And it was very nice. It was also a simple and easy way to move forward on planning the next EP.

So you released your debut album “Descended From The Mountains” last year, in the lyrics you used both English and Finnish…

T: Yes, there is one song in Finnish, but I can’t tell you about them because Ville wrote them.

But now you are working on new music. Are all the songs going to be in English? Half English half Finnish? Or in other languages?

J: I don’t know. I think there will be maybe one song in Finnish or we will combine some different languages. Perhaps. I have thought that maybe there could be some song in old Norse language. But we’ll have to see where it goes.

And musically-wise, is going to be similar to the debut album? Or will it change a little?

T: Maybe we’ll stay in line with the sounds we had in the last album. but nobody can tell, Jussi is the new guy and he can bring new ideas, something special vocal-wise but also with instruments. We will see.

So it is going to be a surprise!

T: But of course we want to maintain our sound, if you listen, you can tell it’s Anima Hereticae. That’s the most important thing.

What kind of music inspires you when you write music? 

At the beginning with this band to inspire me was one of my favorites from my childhood/teenage era and it is Cradle of Filth, but also band like Moonsorrow. Our sound gets inspirations from there, songs keep coming and music keep coming.
To mention also Saku Moilanen, who produces great orchestrations and give atmospheres to the songs.

Today you play here in MonoMassive and then you still have few shows, am I right?

T: This one, MonoMassive, is the last show for this year.
Next year we have already booked four or five shows, but they haven’t been released yet. So after this show we will get a lot of time to work on the EP and write new material.

So a lot of work next year. Then some shows and..

T: We are of course trying to do some festivals in Europe and Finland. We also try to book more shows outside of Finland.

Let’s see what happen, I hope you will have a lot of shows in your calendar next year!

T: This year was quite good, we had about 10 shows.

You all play in other bands, how do you manage the time to get all together?

T: We don’t manage. It is like making schedule in the calendar all the time.

It is like a puzzle, let’s put this here and see if it works…

T: Google Calendar is very good in this case.

J: Yes.

It reminds you of what you need to do, where you need to go…

J: Damn, I have a show today. I’m not even close.

It is quite difficult because life is busy, then you add music and it gets even busier. I do not have a band but my calendar is busy, so I understand you.

T: Some days are hard.

How do you prepare before you go on stage?

J: I make myself ready, vocal warming, maybe I need some space of my own to focus on the show, and of course I paint my face and stay  focus on what happens next.

T: Relaxing, laying down, having some coffee. I just try to relax, and maybe that’s my perspective.

What happens when the show is over and you get off the stage? What are you doing as first? 

J: Take the stuff out from the stage, maybe relax for a couple of minutes, then it’s time to wash out the face, and just chill.

T: It’s like this. Relaxing and talking about the gig.

When you are on stage the heart rate is high and the energy is high. Then you need to calm down.

J: It’s like finishing a heavy workout. After that, you’re like, I don’t do anything anymore.

It’s a great endurance workout. I don’t know if everybody realizes how challenging it is for the body, and also soul, to perform on stage. But it is something that you do because you enjoy it.

J & T: Yes.

We have done with this interview, thank you very much. Would you like to say something to the people that are watching/reading this interview?

J: Stay safe. Horns up. Listen to music and share it!

T: Thanks.

BERIEDIR Unveils New Single “Halo” Off New Album “Liminal Spaces” Out January 2025

Beriedir is excited to unveil “Halo”, the first single from their forthcoming third album “Liminal Spaces” set to be released January 2025 via Rockshots Records. Following the success of their 2022 album “AQVA”, this new single marks the beginning of a bold evolution in the band’s sound.
​
​“Halo” invites listeners into a mysterious world where melancholic atmospheres and introspective lyrics blend seamlessly with heavy, progressive metal. The song tells the story of a restless man, lost in a dusty study, surrounded by torn tomes and ancient manuscripts. He ventures deep into the nature of reality, driven by both science and mysticism, trying to grasp the truth just beyond his reach. The track’s intricate and immersive soundscapes set the stage for the themes explored in “Liminal Spaces” – melancholia, longing, and the search for understanding.
​
The band shares:

“Halo is a song about the feeling of being almost there, yet still just out of reach. It’s the sensation of chasing the truth and losing yourself in the process. This track captures the essence of our new album, both musically and lyrically.”​
​
With “Liminal Spaces”, Beriedir fully embraces a progressive and experimental sound, moving away from their power metal origins. This single will enthrall fans of Pain of Salvation, Leprous, Katatonia, and Gojira, promising a deep and reflective journey. The combination of emotional depth and technical prowess makes “Halo” a standout introduction to this exciting new era for the band.
​
To accompany the single, Beriedir will also release an official music video for “Halo”, bringing the song’s haunting narrative and atmospheric visuals to life.
​
Don’t miss the opportunity to dive into this new chapter of Beriedir’s story and prepare yourself to experience the first glimpse to “Liminal Spaces”.

Line-up:​
Stefano Nüsperli: Vocals, Keyboards
Simone Bacchi Mottin: Guitars, Backing Vocals
Francesco Ideo: Guitars
Ciro Salvi: Drums
Daniele Cantaboni: Bass Guitar

Beriedir offers a sound that, throughout their discography, spans from progressive power metal—characterized by its signature, neck-breaking choruses—to a contemporary progressive identity, delivering tight rhythms, gargantuan emotional sections, and earth-shattering, surgically precise breakdowns. This powerful musical package is wrapped in introspective themes, melancholic and nostalgic, creating a dark and enveloping aesthetic.

The band originated as a project by frontman Stefano Nüsperli and began their live career in 2015 with the release of their first demo, The Line. From that point on, they have participated in numerous musical events, such as Fosch Fest 2016, and have had the opportunity to share the stage with renowned metal acts like Korpiklaani and Pathfinder.

In 2018, they released their debut full-length album, The Path Beyond the Moon, which allowed them to reach a broader audience. Following the release of their acoustic EP, Lullabies Beyond the Moon (2020), Beriedir signed with Rockshots Records in January 2022 for the release of their second full-length, AQVA, which features Ivan Giannini (Vision Divine, Derdian) as a guest on the track Stormbound. The album received enthusiastic reviews from the press and was warmly welcomed by listeners. As a bonus track, the band released the single Send Me An Angel, a cover of the song by Vision Divine.

Following the album’s release, Beriedir performed several live shows, sharing the stage with prominent bands from both the Italian and international scenes, such as Stratovarius, ELEGY, Moonlight Haze, Trick or Treat, Strana Officina, Derdian, Crying Steel, and others.

After a period focused on live performances and production sessions—including the release of a well-received cover of Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary in 2023—the band released Elegies From The Lighthouse, an EP featuring acoustic reinterpretations of tracks from AQVA, in September 2024. Shortly thereafter, they announced their third full-length album, Liminal Spaces, scheduled for release in January 2025, once again through Rockshots Records, and preceded by the launch of two singles.

The new master of melodic power metal Reignited releases debut single

The Finnish metal field gets a great addition this week, when the band Reignited releases their first single. The single “Revolution”, like the entire album to be released next year, was produced by, among others, Tuomas Yli-Jaskari, who worked with Smackbound. On the other hand, the sound world of the song has been completed by perhaps the most legendary duo in the field, Mikko Karmila – Mika Jussila.

Reignited spices up their melodic metal with elements of power metal, and the whole thing inevitably leans towards ear candy. The band’s drummer and Primus motorman Elias Yli-Jaskari, who composed the song, says that the song is the first song he composed entirely.

“You could say that the whole band started from the song’s demo sessions in the summer of 2023. The song is therefore a natural choice for the first single. The song has a strong Finnish vibe of the turn of the 2000s, when melodic metal music was very popular in Finland. The biggest bands of the genre of that time have been the biggest to this day to inspire me” he says.

“Revolution represents for me all those moments when I first heard Stratovarius, Helloween, Sonata Arctica and other well-known representatives of our musical style. Strong melodies and dramatic atmospheres create a contrast that ignites the listener’s most primal emotions” vocalist Aleksi Kärkkäinen continues.

The video for the catchy song was made by Riivata Visuals, who gained worldwide fame, and the video can now be viewed here.

“Riivata’s Patrik Nuorteva is an old acquaintance, so I contacted him and as a result we ended up in an inferno in the middle of the Roihuvuori industrial area,” Elias recalls.

According to the band, Revolution is a great calling card of what’s to come next year, as much as a full-length album. Operating through the Redhouse FMP label, the band is fully heading towards the future.

“The first single opens the gates to Reignited’s music, which is powerful, catchy and melodic. No power metal lover should miss this,” concludes Aleksi.

Line-up:
Aleksi Kärkkäinen | vocals
Jonne Lindqvist | bass
Roni Seppänen | guitar
Elias Yli-Jaskari | drums

More pop metal from Memoremains: New single “Fighter” and video encourage you to move forward

Finnish band Memoremains drop a new song on the airwaves. The five-piece, which has established the number of tens of thousands of monthly listeners, has already released the singles “Toxic Girl” and “Stuck” earlier this year, but the recently released “Fighter” is a bit different.

“Compared to previous singles, Fighter is a bit deeper and more atmospheric. As for the vocals, we also searched for new sounds to emphasize the nuances of the composition. In the lyrics, I wanted to deal with friendship and a situation where a loved one is in a challenging place in their life and needs support in making difficult choices. If only the song would bring a touch of hope to the gloom of autumn for the listeners as well !” singer Johanna Ahonen states.

The band also reveals something else completely new to them about the song: the song was originally applied to the UMK competition (Finnish Eurovision preselection).

“The feeling about this song was so strong that it was decided to enter it in the UMK competition. We started with the mentality that ‘no matter what, we’ll be in the race!’ However, we didn’t make it this time, but we’ll see if we can another time”, commented Mikko Kujanpää, who composed the song.

The song was also made into a music video with the help of a well-known author.

“Aarni Visuals made a music video for us from our 2022 Nummirock show recording for the single “Empire” from the album “Pop Metal”, and we remembered how efficient he worked and how good the result was. We asked him about his interest in making the music video for “Fighter”, and luckily he agreed to cooperate. In our opinion, the musicvideo conveys the new visual look of the band and the atmosphere of the song, which is sensitive and dramatic at the same time.”

Line-up:
Johanna Ahonen – vocals
Mikko Kujanpää – keyboards
Aleksi Mäkelä – guitar
Aapo Timonen – bass
Eemeli Timonen – drums

About:
Originally formed in 2000, and taking over a decade-long hiatus, the band returned in 2015 with a fresh new lineup and released two EPs along with gaining support on American, Canadian, Italian, Australian, and UK radio stations. The band was also honoured with recording a track for Samsung’s Milk Music Ad Campaign, plus performing a Malaysian tour where they headlined the IDX SummerFest, which was followed by two tours of Japan.

After the Japan tours, Silent Angel returned to the studios to record their full-length album but unfortunately were struck with tragedy with the untimely passing of their bass player putting the recording on pause.

Fast forward to 2020, Silent Angel brought in multi-award-winning recording and mixing engineer, Rahmad Kamikaze as the co-producer and welcomed bassist Dauz and professional drum sessionist PAE.

Moving in 2021, the beautiful and talented Italian soprano powerhouse Claudia Beltrame joining the band lineup, and later on with Italian keyboard and synth wizard, Davide Scuteri contributing his talent to the music, we’re now poised to unleash our full length masterpiece upon the world in the very capable hands of Rockshots Records.

Jinjer to release “Duél” album on February 7th, 2025

Ukrainian Jinjer will release thier fifth studio album “Duél” next February, and we got more samples from the full-lenght with the release of the single “Kafka”. See also the edgy lyric video made for the song here.

“Duél”, released through Napalm Records, is Jinjer at his best, serving up a technical groove, progressive elements and vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s beautiful, clean and on the other hand skillful eagle vocals.

The band, which is constantly touring the world, has enjoyed success with all its releases, especially the 2021 “Wallflowers” which took the band to a new level. The upcoming album shows that the band is on a rampage, and one of the most significant new releases in modern metal is on the way.

On October 23d was released the new single “Kafka”, that slowly digs under the listener’s skin and surprises the end with quite a bang.

“Being an artist is beautiful sometimes, but most of the time it’s pretty brutal when our songs are taken apart word for word and note for note. We’re expected to be right all the time and when we’re not, it’s a scandal. Music is our whole world, but praise easily turns into accusation. We’re all like kings or queens for a day, and this feels like something in a Kafka novel. It’s exciting, but at the same time surreal and absurd.”

Duél also takes Jinjer in an even more aggressive direction. It can be said that it is the most furious set of Jinjer’s production to date. On the album, the band continues to collaborate with producer Max Morton, who has been involved as another producer, mixer and masterer.

“First of all, it’s hard to believe that we’ll be releasing our fifth full-length album soon! We’re very proud that the band’s creativity and inspiration are still strong, and challenging ourselves with each record is what keeps Jinjer going. The songwriting process for the upcoming album was the longest we’ve ever had, to it took almost two years,” says bassist Eugene Abdukhanov, referring to the band’s frenzied touring pace, when every free minute was spent working on a new album.

“This was also Tatiana’s first time pre-producing a song, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases have been as well thought out as this one. We’re pushing the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre, but at the same time keeping it stylish, exciting and extreme. We took on the challenge of expanding our musical horizons, even wider, so that Duél becomes the next step in the band’s musical growth and hopefully in the development of metal music in general” adds Eugene.

Track list:

1. Tantrum
2. Hedonist
3. Rogue
4. Tumbleweed
5. Green Serpent
6. Kafka
7. Dark Bile
8. Fast Draw
9. Someone’s Daughter
10. A Tongue So Sly
11. Duél

JInjer will go on tour again at the end of the month, this time first with Sepultura, and the next stages of the trip have already been planned well into 2025. The dates for the concerts that have been published now are:

Finnish heavy metal band Tyrantti releases new single Ihmispyramidi

Finland’s strongest heavy band Tyrantti will rock the listeners’ socks off with their new single. “Ihmispyramidi” is furious, fast, roaring and in many ways exactly what a horse single should be. Hanging falsettos, guitar solos and double basses make it an obvious album opener.

At the same time, the band reveals the entire track list of the upcoming album and starts the pre-orders, the album titled “Ihmispyramidi” will be released on November 22nd. The album will be released on CD, vinyl and digital format. Compared to its predecessors (Tyrantti 2019 and Orjaplaneetta 2021), the album is heavier, and the theme of the lyrics is closer to everyday life.

“Something about the heaviness of the whole thing is said by the fact that there wasn’t even a single ballad on the album,” says guitarist Henkka.

Track list:

1. Ihmispyramidi
2. Lihaa mattoon!
3. Uusi musta
4. Uusikuu
5. Miestä vahvempaa
6. Rikotaan kaikki
7. Yö syö minua
8. Viimeinen portti

Finnish Hard Rock group Rylos releases a music video and a single “Marathon” from their upcoming album

Finnish hard rock band Rylos has released the second single, “Marathon”, from their upcoming fifth album, Signs of Life. “Marathon” can be interpreted as both a true marathon run and a lifelong restless journey, reflecting a compulsive need to tackle various challenges.

French Alternative/Modern-Metal Rockers PERSEIDE to unveil new single + official music video “Plain Flour”

“P.I.E.C.E.S : Perception Is Ending Current Empty Struggles”

A few months after the official release of their sophomore album ‘P.I.E.C.E.S’, French alternative/modern-metal rockers PERSEIDE just unveiled a new official music video illustrating the song “Plain Flour” (from the album).

For reminder, ‘P.I.E.C.E.S’ is still available on YouTube and the main legal platforms.

Since 2010, PERSEIDE has offered a blend of rock, metal and American punk, with catchy choruses and a touch of electro.They were quickly spotted by the “OrageRock” label, which produced them and toured France, Europe and the USA, opening for bands such as Soilwork, Betraying The Martyrs, Chunk No Captain Chunk!, Cancer Bats, Protest The Hero…

After maturing the project, these 4 childhood friends signed to the WormHoleDeath label in 2020 and released their debut album “The Only Thing”, followed by a series of concerts in France and Europe.

They return in 2024 with a 2nd album : ‘P.I.E.C.E.S’.
