Metalcore band Balance Breach have been dropping a string of tighter singles since their third release, and now the band’s full-length album Save Our Souls has been released via Out Of Line. The album, produced by Rami Nykänen, has already been praised in album reviews as a production gem, and the ten-track album’s modern and raw metalcore sounds and screams are also balanced by clean vocals. The album’s title track, Save Our Souls, combines the album’s most important elements: catchy choruses, powerful guitar riffs and furious energy.
“From the first demos of the song Save Our Souls, there was something about the song that made me feel that the song would define the entire album in some way. The song has a really strong energy charge, as well as a unique feeling that carries through the whole song, without forgetting the nuances of melancholy, which has become a strong part of Balance Breach’s sound over the years,” singer Aleksi Paasonen describes and continues:
“This song is a kind of cry for help in a situation where a person has reached a point in their life where they realize that this is not how they want to use their only chance on this planet. We have one life and one chance, and it shouldn’t matter how we use it. I personally believe that by striving to use this chance by doing the most meaningful things for ourselves and finding the answer to what is truly meaningful, we can each ‘save our souls’.”
The most ambitious music video of Balance Breach’s career has been filmed for the song. The music video, directed by Vin Valentino, combines the interlude Distress with the title track Save Our Souls, and the result is a work that has reached the proportions of an action movie.
“With the music video for the song Save Our Souls, we wanted to do things more spectacularly and epically than ever before. Instead of showing what it’s like to struggle with your neck in a slippery squirrel and life slipping through your fingers, we took the feeling associated with it as far as possible. The ‘rebel group’ in the music video is a group that makes a journey deep into the depths of the soul in an attempt to find something beautiful and alive and save it. The world around us is dangerous and so toxic that it is necessary to use extreme means to protect yourself. In the video, the main character has to face his inner demons as the group tries to save the treasure they found.”
