Finnish thrash veterans BLOODRIDE are back in the studio, forging their fifth album into a relentless sonic onslaught. Fueled by raw energy and precision, the band promises a thrash metal assault that will push boundaries and leave no neck unthrashed.
Now, BLOODRIDE unveils the album title: ”Deafening”—a name as intense as the music itself!
In their latest Studio Confessions from the Heart of the Metal Storm, guitarist Teemu Vähäkangas and bassist Esa Pennala share insights into the process:
Teemu: “The votes for the album title were bloody, but here we go—it’s Deafening! Everyone can interpret that as they wish. And as you can see from the tracklist, our songs still aren’t about kittens or sunny spring days…”
Esa: “Yeah, we’re sooo brutal! We’re also starting work on videos now. The hardest part was choosing which songs to feature. Since we try to be a democratic band, there was some voting involved.”
Teemu: “Not an easy task, because on this album, there are no fillers—only killers! Haha!”
Tracklist for Deafening:
1 Sardonic Grin (Intro)
2 Kill without Hate
3 Come in Peace
4 Hindsight Einstein
5 Ashes Remain
6 Holy Simplicity
7 King of Pain
8 The Dark Triad
9 Simply Complicated
10 Death Sentinel
11 Erase and Replace
12 Fear Cage
More details, including release dates and video premieres, will be revealed soon. Stay tuned for the next wave of BLOODRIDE’s thrash fury!

Guitarist Teemu Vähäkangas shares:
”Bloodride´s first gigs around upcoming album begin to materialize…..and more to come!!! It is wonderful to see gigs come true after short break. And of course when you go to open air festival like Nuclear Intervention Fest, it is even more special. Music is best live, thrash is best live!
