NEWS: i Helvete begin the cleansing…

Accompanied by a music video filmed and edited by Henri Rantala, Finnish Extreme Metal band i Helvete have released a second single in “Suuri Puhdistus” (or “The Great Cleansing“) from their upcoming album “Yksi Yhteinen Yhteiskunta” (or “One Common Society“). A concept album, the record tells the story of “a movement that sees the direction of the modern world as doomed. Preserving the sustainability of the planet requires extensive, radical actions. The agenda is the great reset, where the vast majority of people will be eliminated. With the new Big Bang, the chosen people will rise from the ashes to build a new world”. So if that tickles your cerebral cortex, the album drops on 24th November via Inverse Records.

Suuri Puhdistus represents the catchiest and fastest material of the upcoming album. According to singer-guitarist Aleksi Mäkelä, the song did not come easily: “Suuri Puhdistus has as much Mgła as Iron Maiden. The song has an oppressively dark mood until the chorus and interlude bring it catchiness and even beauty. Suuri Puhdistus was the very last composition for our second album. I wanted a bit faster and shorter song for the album. After a long period of work, a red thread started to be found in this song. At first it was actually a very different, slightly less traditional song. However, no direction was found for that unfinished work, and that’s a good thing. As a music video song, this song was considered since its completion. In the video, we wanted to preserve the energy of the song, so the playing video felt the most natural of all.”
