Bloody Falls, who have been releasing new songs throughout the spring, have just released their new IV album through Art Gates Records. The band, which has achieved excellent streaming figures, has become one of the most interesting Finnish newcomers in the course of their career, with three studio albums already released. Bloody Falls also has a colorful history – after all, the band’s primus motor Stavros Mathios arrived in Finland at the age of 21 solely to found a metal band.

The IV studio album, which is now being released, is very classic metal in its themes, from the riders of the Book of Revelation to the rise of the devil and the darker sides of humanity. The band states that the album has clearly taken Bloody Falls forward, and the final sounds were honed by, among others, Max Morton, who gained inspiration as the producer of Jinjer. Jesus Lhysta (The Rotted Artist) is responsible for the band’s cover art, and the band feels that working with this team has helped them find their own style and identity.

Although Bloody Falls has not really tried to reinvent the wheel with this album but has focused on what they know, they have also selected elements of thrash among the groove metal and melodic death and black metal. Musically, the whole thing takes Bloody Falls in a slightly heavier, but at the same time more interesting direction.

“We had great confidence in the material already during the demo phase, and yet the reception has been at times even speechless. The feedback has been positive throughout and the number of streams is increasing at such a pace that we haven’t really internalized the whole thing properly yet. I have never been so excited about the reactions on the release day!”, says Marko Mäkinen.

Bloody Falls celebrated their new album live by performing at Bar Kotelo in Tampere together with Torchia on Saturday, June 13th. The band will be seen next summer, among other things, as the headliner of the MasisRock festival on August 29th.

The summer gigs announced so far are:

29.8. MasisRock Festival, Espoo – headliner
14.11. Fuusio, Turku – King Satan’s record labels with Black Totem

Bloody Falls, who have quietly emerged as one of Finland’s most promising exports, will release their fourth album on June 5th via Art Gates Records, and now we get the last taste of the album before its big day. The fast-paced and aggressive single The Four is the song that also started the creation of the entire upcoming fourth album.

“This is the title track of the album and also its grooveiest song. The name of the song The Four represents the four horsemen of doomsday who rise to bring the end. After listening to the song, it is clear that these horsemen of the book of Revelation will sow war, plague, famine and death in our world. Enjoy this last single before the release of the full album on Friday, June 5th,” smiles Bloody Falls founder and primus motor Stavros Mathios.

A music video was made for the song, focusing on the basics of the whole thing, i.e. the playing, which is spiced up with the vibes of the VHS era. The tight playing was filmed by Kai Lukander and the final result was nailed down by Mikael Björkman and Stavros Mathios.

The band has worked on their upcoming album with, among others, Max Morton, who produced Jinjer, who finalized the album’s soundscape. A taste of the solid sounds has already been given in the Mother, Your Son Is Bleeding single released earlier this spring and the music video for it.

Bloody Falls rose to a new level with the Amartia album, released in 2024 and which has already collected a couple of million streams, and the band has become one of the most streamed Finnish new wave metal bands.

The band will start their new tour cycle with the IV album, and the gigs in Finland and abroad will be announced later. The band will be seen next summer, among other things, as the headliner at the MasisRock festival on August 29th.

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)
