The Band comments the single:
“Cerebrum’s new song “Jacket Full of Malice” explores an individual’s inner struggle against their own demons. Anger, suffering, and aggression have become deeply repressed within the protagonist — contained behind an outer shell, much like an overcoat worn against an inner storm. Eventually, this suppressed and bottled-up energy erupts with the force of an extreme disaster. Yet, this cleansing, blind fire leaves nothing good behind. The song serves as a metaphor, highlighting human vulnerability regarding forces held deep within; no matter how hard one tries to channel these intense internal energies, excessive repression inevitably causes the protective shell—the illusion—to shatter. The composition reinforces the lyrics, beginning with a calm, rising verse that turns through a rhythmic riff into a grand, epic chorus. In its style, the song is more straightforward, and its structure is more traditional rock, than the other songs on the upcoming EP.”

Cerebrum ”since 1992”
Cerebrum is a progressive death metal band from Turku in Finland. The band was formed in Turku in 1992. Initially, their music was more akin to old-school death metal, but on their second demo, they had adopted a more progressive style. Just when things were starting to get interesting, Cerebrum vanished. (Active 1992–1996).
In 2023, the old-school death metal festival ‘Finnish Death Metal Maniacs’ introduced the return of Cerebrum with four of its original members. A few years later, with a new keyboard player, the band is ready to release new material. In July 2025, the Spanish label Memento Mori released a Cerebrum compilation of their 1990s material entitled Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993–1994).
