Rockshots Records Signs Finland’s Ode In Black For New Album “Into The Dark”
|
Rockshots Records is proud to announce their signing off of Finnish rockers Ode In Black for the release of their sophomore album “Into The Dark” to be unleashed later this year.
The band comments on their signing and upcoming full-length:
“Compared to our debut album âSeeds Of Chaosâ this oneâs a bit more mature & polished. The songs sound bigger, better, and maybe also a bit heavier. At least that was one of our goals. Itâs a step into something new for sure. There are more electronic elements and the songs are way more simple than before due to having done pre-production with an outside producer. But in the end, the songs are written by us and do sound like Ode In Black. I guess itâs growth, or it might be some kind of a tumor, who knows. Thereâs also a plethora of faster songs than on âSeeds Of Chaosâ. It happened organically; playing the âSeeds Of Chaosâ songs live, we felt that we needed some faster material to cause some serious neck injuries to the crowd. In a way the albumâs a step into the dark for us, hence the album title âInto The Darkâ.
Ode In Black is a rock band from Kuopio, Finland. The band consists of Pasi Mäenpää (vocals), Iiro Saarinen (guitars and backing vocals), Juhani Saarinen (guitars), Ville Puustinen (bass), and Taisto Ristivirta (drums). The band has been in its current line-up since 2015. Ode In Black relies on tight playing, gritty riffs, and catchy choruses. At times, their music may display influences from Finnish melancholic metal, while at other times, they pay homage to 80âs glam rock.
After releasing their first EP âGoodbyeâ in 2014, the band spent the next years touring all over Finland and spreading the word of their melancholic metal. In 2017 the band began working on their first full-length album. In the summer of 2017 the band released two singles âThe Sea In Which We Drownâ and âThe Lone Wolfâ. 2018 blasted off with the bandâs debut full-length album âSeeds Of Chaosâ.
During the Covid years, the band has evolved heavier and darker than before. A first taste of Ode In Blackâs new sound will be the single âUntil We Fallâ to be released on April 21st, 2023 with a music video. The energetic âUntil We Fallâ will give a taste of whatâs to come on their follow-up album “Into The Dark”.
