Finland’s rising stars in melodic death metal BLOODRED HOURGLASS will release their 4th studio album, »Godsend«, on June 28th, 2019 via Ranka Kustannus and Out Of Line Music.

The band has revealed the second video and single “The Unfinished Story” which can be seen here:

The band comments:

“The Unfinished Story“ is maybe the most sentimental song of Bloodred Hourglass so far. Atmospheric, melodic and also harsh are the key words to describe this song. With this we wanted to represent we have the capacity not only to make fast and furious tracks, but also make our signature sound work on heavier and slower ones.”

“The Unfinished Story“ is supported with an artistic video by Jesse Haaja and was filmed during the same sessions as was the video for “Waves of Black”. Surprisingly, the story of the song is presented with female beauty.

Pre-order the album here:

The band just recently played on the Suomi Feast in Japan with overwhelming reactions from the Japanese fans.

“We were so excited to visit Japan and were totally humbled of the kindness of the people and how we well were treated on our short trip to the land of the rising sun. Also the two shows were fully worth to play: japanese audience was giving their best by going absolutely crazy! We surely managed to get lots of new listeners and friends and we are already looking forward to get back there as soon as possible!”
