Finnish Helsinki-based melodic death/thrash metallers DEAD SHAPE FIGURE are currently preparing the release of their upcoming album, which is the follow-up to the 2018 hit album Cacoëthes.

The 5-member ensemble presents their more melodic side with the song Antigone as a follow-up to the imposing opening single Shadowcast. The song represents the band’s more ambiguous, genre-free line, which makes Dead Shape Figure sound exactly like Dead Shape Figure, inimitable, intense, unhumbled and timeless.

Antigone is the most melodic extreme of the upcoming long play, but still makes it uncompromisingly heavy and full of energy. Lyrically the song is a tribute to endless mentors, combining the end-time feelings of Goethe’s Faust and the singer Galzi’s all-time favorite Mark Lanegan’s texts about the dividing lines of personal growth and decadence.

Antigone (5:38)
Composed: Sahakangas, Ruuskanen, Flinck, Nummela
Lyrics: Kallio

Dead Shape Figure is a melo-death/thrash metal band from Helsinki, Finland. The group entered the worldwide metal scene with their incredibly strong debut album, The Grand Karoshi, released in 2008 by the famed Season of Mist label.

Dead Shape Figure continued to pursue their own path, developing their unique, technical yet catchy take on death metal. Fast forward ten years to 2018, the band scored big on the single The Last of the Bearing Beats, from the album Cacoëthes. After releasing two EP:s independently (Quatuor Post Nihil, 2020, and Refinement of Hatred, 2021), DSF signed with Helsinki-based rising independent record label Rolling Records.

Antigone is the second fruit of the new collaboration with Rolling Records, and a clear indication that Dead Shape Figure is in the best shape of their career.

DEAD SHAPE FIGURE Begins Recording New Album

Finnish metallers DEAD SHAPE FIGURE have entered D-Studio in Nurmijärvi, Finland to begin recording their third album with producer Alexandre Locher (also known as Xytras or Xy) of Swiss industrial black metallers SAMAEL.

Commented DEAD SHAPE FIGURE: “This is the first time ever DEAD SHAPE FIGURE has used a real producer and done a proper pre-production. It is a fact you can really hear when the album is ready.

“We are super-psyched about Mr. Xy‘s dedication for these new songs.

“The pre-production-stage took a week, 12 hours a day. That period with Mr. Xy was mentally really interesting yet challenging. He made us push ourselves as a band further and deeper than we would normally go. Xy made us act as a band and not as a mob.”

While recording the new album, DEAD SHAPE FIGURE will make select festival appearances during the summer. The band states, “We were not supposed to play any shows before the release of the next album but we got offered a few summer shows, so we thought why not?”

It’s been years since Xy produced an album for another band; it started with MISERY‘s “Mystic” CD in 1993; he would later produce two albums for Greek death/black metal veterans ROTTING CHRIST (1997’s “A Dead Poem” and 1999’s “Sleep Of The Angel”) as well as the first two LPs from Germany’s MY INSANITY.

A short video clip of Xy in the studio with DEAD SHAPE FIGURE can be seen below.

DEAD SHAPE FIGURE‘s mini-CD, “Dev!lle Ride”, was released via Dynamic Arts Records.

The track listing for the effort is as follows:

01. Strangle The Hero
02. And They Adore The Replacement
03. Leave Your Buildings
04. Dead Again

Guitarist Kride Lahti left DEAD SHAPE FIGURE last year “due to personal reasons and lack of motivation.” He has since been replaced by Silver Ots (THE NIBIRUAN, ex-AMORAL).

DEAD SHAPE FIGURE‘s second full-length album, “The Disease Of St. Vitus”, was released in October 2010 via Dynamic Arts Records. The CD was mastered at Virtalähde Analog Audio Studios in Helsinki, Finland.

The band’s debut album, “The Grand Karoshi”, came out in 2008 via Season Of Mist. The CD’s lyrical content was translated by Kallio into Finnish as a book of poetry, entitled “Loppusäkeet”.
