Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Rising experimental progressive rockers RESTIVE NATION have revealed another slice from their forthcoming self-titled new studio album. 

‘Red Mist’ lifts the listener to another dimension with a hypnotic tale of alien abduction in the style of Blur’s ‘Parklife’, complemented with a punchy, spiralling, hypnotic, electronic backdrop. Listen to the track here.

The band says of the track: “Red Mist is a psychedelic twist on electronic rock. Surf rock guitar melodies are infused with industrial pulsing synths that provide an unearthly backdrop for an extraterritorial narrative.”

Check out the video here:

This is one of the most experimental tracks on the album which gives the full detailed account of a confused man’s story on how he was abducted by aliens. The storyline was inspired by a book called ‘Omens of Awareness’. It described many UFO abduction scenarios and led to writing a personal take on it.”
