Our world is burning down around us, extreme evil is piercing through our souls, and all our human connections have collapsed.
Hope Is a Lie is slow, unhurried, and extremely dark doom, post-metal, sludge, industrial and a pinch of grunge.
While the music sounds like despair, and conveys bleak stories of a future without human relationships, if you lose all hope, you have nothing more to lose.
The band’s self titled debut album has been released on December 13th 2024 by Inverse Records and is be supported by three singles:
‘Dance’,
’Suits (feat Amber Shadows)’
and ’End of Days’.
All music is written by the band, and is mixed by Markus Alavire and mastered by Owe Inborr.

Some day soon it will all come to an end, and if you believe Hope Is a Lie, that day might be sooner than expected.
On their third single, Hope Is a Lie reflects on how we ended up being our own worst enemies and scorching our own earth.
In their distinctive unhurried manner, clocking in at just under 7 minutes, and combining heavy doom and stoner riffs with a pinch of psychedelia, ‘End of Days’ is Hope Is a Lie at their darkest.

has released single
‘Suits’
Finnish Hope Is a Lie’s second single ‘Suits’ features Amber Shadows on vocals – and she is not holding anything back…
Driven forward by heavy guitar riffs, this industrial inspired song represents Hope Is a Lie in its most aggressive form.
Lyrically the song focuses on what men in suits are good for, ending up with the simple conclusion that men in suits are best when dead.
The band’s self titled debut album is released on December 13th 2024 by Inverse Records and will be supported by three singles:
‘Dance’ (2 October),
’Suits (feat Amber Shadows)’ (30 October) and
