OF SPITE Release First Single & Video ‘Serpent Coil’ from Upcoming EP “Raisu”

Finnish metal band Of Spite returns with new material after three years since their previous album (Riddle Redemption, 2023). New Raisu EP will be out next month and now the band presents a first bite “Serpent Coil” as a single from the upcoming EP.

Of Spite tells about the song:

“This song begins where the body usually ends… perhaps at the wrong spot. Flesh serves as a map, but no one knows how to read it, and pain serves as a compass that spins haphazardly. A thousand flames don’t burn; they whisper a name that mustn’t be spoken aloud, except when everyone already knows it.

The poisonous flame promises eternal life, but in practice it offers little more than constant discomfort and existential confusion. Wounds, scars, and random holes form a whole that one might call art, if one had to.

At times, the song pauses for a moment to breathe—or to bleed—and whispers something about open wounds that are perhaps deeper than they should be.

At the end, the body politely empties itself, time stumbles over its own shadow, and the final thought is removed for technical reasons.

A DIY-style music video has also been made for the song. The video was filmed in an empty swimming pool, and taking a sauna with chickens has nothing to do with it.”

Of Spite is a metal band from Kotka, Finland known for its heavy sound and a way of polishing its work that’s almost as heavy as a deranged prison inmate smearing his own feces on the wall of his isolation cell.

The band is a five-piece group of experienced musicians with a strong background in both live performances and studio work. Their musical influences range from old-school melodic death metal to progressive rock, all the way to Kake Randelin.

Of Spite’s music blends death metal with stuttering progressive rock. This unique combination creates, through its paternal love, a perverse hybrid that doesn’t leave the listener alone with their conflicting emotions.
