Finnish melodic death metal project Magnadur takes a different turn with “Eat the Bat”, out now!
The new single keeps the weight and guitar-driven approach associated with Magnadur, but places a much stronger focus on a chorus that is simple, repetitive and hard to shake. Unusual sounds sit alongside heavy riffs, giving the track a more immediate and playful feel than the project’s more traditional material.
“Eat the Bat” presents a distinct side of Magnadur: still heavy, still melodic, but built around a hook that stays with you.
Tomi Perrakoski handles vocals, lyrics and mastering, while Derek Wolfstein is responsible for guitars and drums.
MAGNADUR released their new single “Rest If Needed” on March 20, 2026. The track is taken from the upcoming album Bloodmoon over Niflheim, which is scheduled for release this summer.
Built around a cinematic and atmospheric approach to melodic death metal, “Rest If Needed” continues the sound Magnadur has been shaping through the work of Tomi Perrakoski at Metal Madness Studios. The new single offers another glimpse into the mood and direction of the forthcoming album.
Magnadur describes “Rest If Needed” as the project’s strongest song so far. Listeners into Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, Amorphis, and Nightwish will find familiar ground in its mix of weight, melody, and atmosphere.
Prolific Finnish metal project Magnadur is back with a new single after the release of the recent album, Beautiful Nightmare, via Sliptrick Records in Febraury.

For this track, he got the very best drummer and guitar player from many auditions and this song is true art experience!!”
