Hautajaisyö’s new LP due
Finnish death‑metal outfit Hautajaisyö will release their fifth album, Surun paino (Weight of Sorrow), on March 20 — a sorrow‑steeped melodic record that lands within 48 hours. Fans of dark, melodic heaviness should mark the date (toxicmetalzine.com).
Surun paino is an eight-track full‑length whose listed songs include “Surun Paino,” “Maan Nielemä,” “Kuusi Kantajaa,” “Kasvoton Kuljettaja,” “Hetki Viimeinen,” “Lyhyt Matka Hautaan,” “Eloton” and “Haaskalinnut Minut Muistaa.” (hautajaisyo.bandcamp.com) Inverse Records is handling the release and is selling a CD pre‑order through its shop, while the band’s Bandcamp page offers the album digitally and lists a compact‑disc pre‑order at €14.95. (inverse-records.myshopify.com) The lead single “Maan Nielemä” debuted with an official music video posted to the band’s YouTube channel and was promoted as the album’s first single by MetalShockFinland.
