NEWS: Admire the Grim refuse and resist!

After their debut EP “Rogue Five” earned them a Finnish tour and their first gig abroad at Bloodstained Metal Fest in Estonia, Melodic Death Metallers Admire the Grim will be hoping their debut album “Resist” will take them a step further. Ahead of the 31st January via Inverse Records release, the band have shared the title track which features a guest vocal appearance from Antti Hyyrynen of Stam1na.

The band comment: “‘Resist’, as its name suggests, is a song that pushes you for resistance against all oppression. It was one of the last songs that got finalized for the album and it has this odd structure where all the verses are in the beginning of the song and the end of the song is all about simple, catchy choruses and bursting guitar solos. When we started writing this song, it seemed like the puzzle pieces just fit on the very first try and suddenly the song was ready. Right before the album recordings we came up with the idea that we should ask a local legend Antti Hyyrynen of Stam1na to feature on vocals. Antti was happy to come to the studio and recorded some ripping vocals for the track. ‘Resist’ turned out to be a great song for a single and an amazing banger for live shows.”

Vocalist Katri Snellman comments: “To me personally, considering the vocal parts and lyrics this song became the highlight of the record. There’s this certain simplicity in the vocal lines that gives space for interpretation. That is especially fun live! It’s also probably clear without saying that having Antti Hyyrynen of Stam1na to do the vocal feature on this song gives it a specific tone. Couple of years back I wouldn’t have thought in a million years that I’m gonna be singing on the same song with Antti any time soon. I’m very lucky to have these band members around me to create music and make cool things possible. It’s good to continue from here forward!”
