Finnish sludge metal band Earthblood is back with a new single ‘Ape Warriors’. The single is released via Finnish record label Inverse Records. Listen to the track on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/earthblood-ape-warrior

The band comments:
“From the dark corners of the urban jungle, a primal leader, the Ape Warrior emerges. Having only one goal: to take down and conquer. With his lightning speed and heavy pounding the Ape Warrior is a worthy challenger for the mighty and powerful Acid Viking.

“Ape Warrior” continues the band’s familiar drive, raw energy, and primitive vocals, but this time, inspired by bands such as Motörhead and Wolfbrigade, we wanted to bring in a bit more punk/heavy metal attitude into it.

The song’s story playfully tells of a man who wants to live outside of society and simply be left alone, but as that doesn’t work out, he says “F*ck it” and decides to set the world on fire.”

Earthblood was founded in the spring of 2023 by a group of friends, fusing elements of dirty and gritty Sludge with the fast tempos and riffing of genres such as Thrash and Death metal.

They humorously describe this sonic wall of sound as Thunder Ape metal.

Earthblood’s first EP titled “Primal Fury” was released by Inverse records in the September of 2023.

Not wasting any time, the second EP bearing the name “Witchburner” was released in April 2024.

Now after two years, the apes of the Earthblood have returned with two thunderous singles “Ape Warrior” and “Hatched in Hand” which is set to be released on April 16th 2026. They continue the mighty and powerful soundscapes of both previous EP’s.

Line-up:
Vocals/Guitar: Jere Halonen
Vocals/Bass: Joel Notkonen
Drums/Backing Vocals: Niko Kauhanen

Finnish Sludge-Doom metal band EARTHBLOOD is set to release their second EP titled ‘Witchburner’ on April 18th 2024 via Inverse Records. The Finns seem to be quite productive while it’s been only half a year since their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Primal Fury‘.  

The first single “Sons of Heavy Rain” taken from the upcoming second EP is more melodic than its predecessor, but the soundscape remains the same. The fuzz guitar rumbles, the dirty bass growls and the drums beat like thunder.

The band comments: 
“The song tells tales of band life, alcohol and the madness of one’s aspirations to greatness.

“Sons of Heavy Rain 
The drums echo now
Too long have you slumbered
It’s time to make a stand”
