The band comments:

“Gnarly Geezer knocking at your back door! A middle-aged man, with his problems and thinning hair, declares his love for his ex-wife. Old-school heavy rock boogie with a solid, no-frills approach! The track draws its listeners in with its lively rhythm and catchy chorus. The best ingredients from the 1970s rock prog cookbook – snappy riffs, rocking solos, and spectacular midsections! “

BIOGRAPHY:

“Occult Master was founded in 2012 in Oulu, Finland, first starting as a heavy rock/doom band. After a line‑up change in 2020, the musical style turned faster, more rhythmic and more complex. Occult Master’s music is heavy, versatile and full of nuances, ranging from full‑throttle metal blasting to quiet, subtle and beautifully eerie musical landscapes. The band’s roots lie strongly in the classic heavy metal of the 1970s and 1980s. The songs are delivered in a hardy, straightforward and no‑nonsense style. In the dark‑toned music, the lyrics deal with different matters of life and the world in general, and at times even horror stories told with a devilish grin.

Occult Master are:
Ari Eskola – guitars and vocals
Toni Mäki – bass and backing vocals
Jussi Risto – drums
