NEWS: Hautajaisyö dig fresh graves!

Most bands don’t last three albums before spontaneously combusting so its wonderful to see that Finnish Death Metal pawnbrokers Hautajaisyö are set to release their fifth album “Surun Paino” (or “Weight of Sorrow“) on 20th March via Inverse Records. Inspired by the year 536, the “Year of Darkness“, when the world was shrouded in darkness and nearly all of humanity perished, first single “Maan Nielemä” (or “Swallowed by Dirt“) depicts a lone gravedigger toiling endlessly amidst the chaos…

Vocalist Janne Partanen comments: “‘Maan Nielemä’ is one of my favourite songs from the new album. It hits like a hammer on hot metal, and you can feel the darkness of the song. Making the video was damn fun. We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do, and we tried to keep the costs down. Then we just ‘hit our heads against the wall’ until we had the finished video.”
