NEWS: Frostbite Terror warn of the shape of punk to come!

Inverse Records promise that at some point this year we are going to receive the gift of a new EP from Turku Finland based Melodic Death Metal band Frostbite Terror. It’s a question of when, not if, for the five piece who have toured backyard BBQ parties, Metallihelvetti summer party, Tampere community center and everything in between. In evidence, they submit a second single in “Gehenna” to follow “Happy Ox“, leaving us to wonder just how many tracks will make the grade…

Guitarist Olli Kuure comments: “Massive sounds support furious blasting that won’t leave you cold. The greatest things in Finland, metal and sauna, are combined like never seen before. Listen to this tale of a sauna stove opening up a portal to hell and a face-off with the devil himself! 

Gehenna is a kind of survival story from an afterparty where all food and drink is gone. This melodic piece with wall-of-sound guitars is then a good tune to warm up the sauna and enjoy the rest of the night, maybe even mosh listening to the riffs. While dreaming of a delivery of drinks the stove heats up to glowing hot and temperature rises above comfortable, representing hellfire. At that point what else can you do than take a thorough steam bath and relax.”

Bassist and vocalist Otso Turunen adds: “Sometimes bathing in a sauna escalates to a hellish experience, so why not make a song out of that. Based on a true story (maybe with small embellishments). The song steamrolls forward like many Finnish heavy classics. That makes it a perfect backdrop for telling tall tales about how much heat we can take in the sauna.”
