Where’s My Bible
Het Finse Where’s My Bible speelt melodische deathmetal en hebben de nieuwe single Fenrir uitgebracht dat afkomstig is van het aankomende album dat in 2024 uitgebracht gaat worden.
Zanger Jussi Matilainen : “The lyrics are a combination of the human mind and Nordic mythology as a metaphor. In the song ‘Fenrir’ we focus on bringing the story to life with theatrics adding a poetic style of narration to it, like in the old days. The song is about Fenrir the wolf eating the sun when Ragnarok starts and thus setting an end to an era and launching a mythical apocalypse.
The main idea behind this story is; what is your Fenrir? What is the big bad beast to destroy your own world? Fenrir can be a real thing and alive because of your own creation. It can be an unsolved problem in your life you never took care of and it haunts you in the dark of night.
In this song, we included nearly a thousand-year-old instruments such as the kravik lyre (which is self-made) and the tagelharpa to enhance the narrative and its mythical essence.
The theme of the album itself revolves strongly around Nordic mythology and the human mind, especially during the night time. We will open this concept more later on but now is a great time to follow us.”
Gitarist Pasi Löfgren voegt eraan toe: “The upcoming album follows musically the same path of style as the “Circle” EP by bringing it to an even deeper level. On Fenrir I wanted to include more of our technical playing combined with beautiful melodies and heavy riffs. And I couldn’t be happier how it turned out. With new added elements like kravik lyre and tagelharpa at the end of the song makes a great mix of technicality, melodiousness and heaviness and it is a perfect first taste of what you can expect from the album.”
Olli Tiainen (video director) : “Although it’s just about music videos, I feel that when making Where’s My Bible’s videos, we’re always dealing with something significant and meaningful, and Fenrir is no exception.
From my perspective the story is trying to convey a message where our minds can lead us to imagine problems and fear the worst. Even though these things exist only in our minds, over time, they grow and begin to affect our experience of reality. The inner world cannot be escaped; it must be confronted; otherwise, our fears will chain us in darkness.
Where’s My Bible’s videos are not just gloominess for the sake of gloominess, but there’s always a greater message in the background.”
Insurrection
Het metalgenre is Nederland blijft zwaar onderschat en dat is zonde. Ook in de hoek van de deathmetal is het geregeld lekker onrustig en Insurrection maakt daar zeker deel vanuit. Maar wat hebben kippen daar nu mee te maken? Dan moet je zeker even de nieuwe video Crimson Skies van de band bekijken.
Do note: no animals were harmed during the making of this music video.
Insurrection heeft sinds 2008 een EP en een album uitgebracht. Het album Circles Of Despair heeft de band zeker op de kaart gezet. De band wist zich in de kijker te spelen en deelde sindsdien het podium in binnen- en buitenland met King Diamond, Destruction, Cradle Of Filth, Vader, Hypocrisy en nog meer. Met Crimson Skies bewijzen ze zichzelf en het is tijd dat deze band verder opklimt. Een single die qua geluid dicht bij een band als Kreator aanschurkt.
