REVIEW – Finnish rock sensations GINGER EVIL are poised to captivate audiences with their powerful new single, “Shame Old,” set for release on May 24th, via Frontiers Music Srl. The single, accompanied by an evocative lyric video, offers a glimpse into the heavier side of the band’s sound, while tackling a deeply resonant topic: mental health.
“Shame Old” delivers a gripping narrative, with vocalist Ella Tepponen explaining, “It’s about coping with the cycle of shame—a destructive and paralyzing pattern that can take hold of a person’s life. This song is about breaking free from the fear of abandonment that’s deeply woven into our DNA.” Musically, the track showcases GINGER EVIL’s ability to fuse emotional depth with heavy instrumentation. With guitars and bass tuned to drop D, the song boasts a rhythmically dynamic arrangement that highlights the band’s innovative approach.
Guitarist Tomi and bassist Veli add, “This song presents the heavier side of our upcoming album. It was a load of fun to play in the studio and will be even more thrilling to perform live in front of a festival audience!” “Shame Old” is a testament to the band’s creative synergy and dedication to crafting songs that resonate both musically and thematically.
Emerging from their roots as Moonshine Inc., GINGER EVIL has evolved into a force in the modern rock scene. Their sound, described as a blend of Foo Fighters and Fleetwood Mac, reflects their ability to balance hard-hitting rock with melodic finesse. “Shame Old” marks another step forward as they prepare for the release of their debut album, The Way It Burns, on February 14, 2025.
