Finnish Modern Metallers Bloodred Hourglass are back with their new album ‘How’s the Heart?’ along with a video for the brutally beautiful opener album track ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ featuring crushing riffs, tempo changes, and an undeniably affecting melody, using melodiousness as its driving force.
Heartfelt and personal.
Known for their ability to blend modern and death metal influences, Bloodred Hourglass takes you on a journey in ‘How’s the Heart?’ through the stages of grief, offering a unique blend of aggression and beauty.
Showcasing their evolution as musicians, pushing the boundaries of genres while staying true to their traditional Nordic roots and signature soundscapes.
With impactful riffing, aggressive drumming, versatile vocals, catchy choruses, and grandiose synths, this album is a must-listen, mixed and mastered by Dan Braunstein (Spiritbox, Veil Of Maya, Dayseeker).
The forthcoming Bloodred Hourglass album delivers on all fronts like nothing before and is easily the most ambitious BRHG album up to date.
‘Of Course I Still Love You’:
“Including crushing riffs and tempo changes, this song still uses melodiousness as its driving force. Heartfelt and personal, with undeniably affective throw in for a record, ‘OCISLY’ has it’s place as the brutally beautiful album opener.”
‘In Lieu of Flowers’:
“‘Flowers’ has some violently heavy riffing together with the heart-rending mood and bargaining lyrics underlined by the longing melody. A straightforward song that was chosen to be the first single, and has since proven it’s efficiency as a true live banger.”
‘Fragile’:
“Sailing somewhere between vulnerable and the completely opposite waters, ‘Fragile’ brings in even more diversity and dynamic variety, beautiful melodies, and another proper singalong chorus.”
‘Anomaly’:
“Worthy of the name here and stealing the show of a ‘mental health short-circuit’ on this record, ‘Anomaly’ nods strongly in the direction of modern death metal and deathcore. An oppressive atmosphere creates, quite frankly, the sickest creation in the history of the band.”
‘The Sun Still In Me’:
“You don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are. One of the more experimental songs on this record, where EDM vibes blend to modern technical BRHG riffing, supported by elements like massive drum loops and even a children’s choir.”
‘Song of Forgotten’:
“Built with a little different approach for the structure in mind, ‘Song of Forgotten’ is a fight song for everyone who has faced ignorance and been mistreated by the fools who think they know better. It’s about going through hellfire and returning from flames stronger than ever.”
‘Leina’:
“Representing the more traditional melodic metal sound, ‘Leina’ is written as in memoriam to a beautiful soul who left us way too early. Life is far from fair: all the good ones always go first.”
‘Devotion’:
“Groovy riffage meets a poppish synth lead in this one, with St. Michel Strings providing some serious orchestral addition to bring the grandeur to the next level – something never heard before on BRHG records.”
‘The End We Start From’:
“This one takes you to the melancholic Scandinavian soundscape of distinguished Bloodred Hourglass aggression, together with the heartfelt lyrics of hope behind adversity.”
‘How’s the Heart?’:
“Sometimes the small moments become the most meaningful memories in your life. ‘How’s the Heart?’ is easily the most straightforward song in the history of Bloodred Hourglass, ending the album with a higher note.”
