Two years after turning heads in the music scene with their first singles, Lust For Lily is starting this year strong. The band has now signed a deal with Ranka Kustannus – the label that has also propelled acts like Blind Channel and Cyan Kicks onto the international stage – and today Lust For Lily releases the first single of their new era, “Deathbeds,” accompanied by a striking music video.
Already known for skillfully blending dark atmospheres with raw energy, the band has grown significantly over the past two years. The quartet is clearly aware of this evolution, and “Deathbeds,” which explores themes of despair, detachment, and finality, sets the direction for what’s to come on a larger scale as well. The track was co-produced by Cyan Kicks songwriter-producer Niila Perkkiö.
“We wanted a new but natural direction, and came to the conclusion that we needed to start with something dystopian and big. As a natural continuation of that vision, the story of ‘Deathbeds’ emerged around acceptance. The single came together quickly, and at the same time we realized what we want to do in the future too,” the band explains.
Building their sound on emotional intensity and modern heavy production, the young group represents a new wave of metalcore unafraid of broad expression. The full spectrum of their style is also reflected in the video, directed by Pekka Keränen.
“During the shoot, we got to dive underwater and experience for the first time what a professional music video production is really like. From the very beginning, the whole project had an amazing vibe, and this is exactly how we want to present ourselves as this new chapter begins,” the band sums up.

Aku Olli – vocals, rhythm guitar
