Radelmare, a newcomer to the Finnish metal scene, just released their new EP Sparklings, which also sees the light of day for the EP’s title track. The song Sparklings takes the listener from the sensitivity of a ballad to the depths of brutal metal. Sparklings deals with the sudden end of life and lost love. It tells how in the last seconds of life, all the most important moments flash before our eyes.
“Especially during wartime, it is emphasized how life can be over in an instant. We hope that in the last moments everyone gets to relive the best memories of their life, before moving from time to eternity,” the band describes.
Radelmare, who released their first releases and gigs this year, combines the raunchy riffs of the 80s with the intensity of modern metal. The band, which has had a good start to its career, has released four singles over the past year, which have appeared on Spotify playlists and received airplay on YleX.
Sparklings track listing:
1. Let’s Go (One More Time)
2. You Don’t Know Anything
3. F.T.S
4. Sparklings
5. Rage Against The Dying Of The Light
Radelmare’s gigs have also been going well. The band has had time to support Luna Kills, perform at Möysän Musaklubi in Lahti, and play a festival gig at Varparock together with, among others, Awake Again and I Am Your God.
The future also looks busy – Radelmare is currently preparing material for their debut album and will head to the studio in 2026. Before that, the band will be seen at club gigs during the autumn and early winter. Radelmare will next perform at Varjobaar in Tampere on 14.11.
