The band comments:

“We all walk down thousands and thousands of roads in our lifetime trying to get somewhere. Many of just not quite sure where we’re going to or what we’re hoping to find. The lyrics on ‘Flame’ were inspired by that eternal search, be it conscious or unconscious. 

“Inspiration, meaning, answers or even the ultimate reason for our existence… whatever it may be one might be looking for, it just might be that there are no answers to be found but those inside of us. Not a unique insight as such of course but we wanted to take on that notion with ‘Flame’ –  that the search is experienced differently by all of us. The story-like narration fit well to the verses dominated by the captivating guitar riff without stealing too much focus from the story”, elaborates Hagi on the writing process.

‘Flame’ stands out from the rest of the My Bloodline catalogue by being even more melodic than most of the repertoire accompanied by a typical poppish chord progression in the chorus before a full stop. 

“For the bridge, we wanted the song to really halt. To bring the audience to a full stop and reflect. So we really worked on getting the dynamics right on that bit. Starting out with just the drum beat and bass guitar, bringing in that punchy guitar riff and topping the instrumentals by a plethora of vocal harmonics laid out via a chanting choir and commanding lead vocals entering into the final outro chorus the part just felt it concluded the arrangement.”, accompanies Tommi from behind the drum kit.

With ‘Flame’ all the songs from the band’s recent recording sessions are now released and the band is getting ready for gigging.

“We’re confident ‘Flame’ will bring in some new audiences for the band, especially those leaning toward more melodic songs and hoping they’ll find they’re way into the rest of catalogue.”

My Bloodline is a modern hard rock band from the Helsinki metropolitan area that solidified its final lineup in 2023.

By the winter of 2026, the band has released ten self-published songs in several installments. Their debut EP, Afterlife Limited, was released in 2024 and features five tracks. The EP’s opening song, Spirit, remains one of the band’s most listened-to tracks thanks to its catchy riffs and memorable choruses.

The recording sessions continued the following year with the release of four new singles, including Whiteout Moon, which spent several months on Spotify’sVolume Suomi playlist. The band already has new material lined up for release in the coming winter and spring, carrying their familiar sound while trying to bring something new to the table.

The band consists of five members: Tommi (drums), Eelis (guitar), Jake (bass), Arto (vocals), and Japo (guitar). From the very beginning, My Bloodline has written all of its own material, with every member taking part in the songwriting process. Perhaps this is why the band has found a distinctive sound that sits between bottom-heavy guitars and more melodic musical passages.

All of the band’s releases have been produced, recorded, and mixed by veteran professional musician Mika Haapasalo, whose influence can be heard in the arrangements and harmonies that define the band’s polished productions.

My Bloodline has also performed selected live shows across Southern Finland, and plans to significantly increase its live activity during this year.

Arto Hasu – Vocals
