Finnish metallers SKIRMISH have released their new music video “The Mirror Distortion” from  4 october released album “Jet-Black Days”. Music video is made by Frozen Fruit Film, directed by Jouko Kallio. Check it out here:

Skirmish releases a new album to follow the 2011 debut album Through the Abacinated Eyes. The new album Jet-Black Days introduces not only the new line-up of the band, but a new more broad style of expression in the groups music.

The fast songs are faster, the melodic parts more atmospheric and the extremes have been stretched out to every direction comparing to the debut album. But the northern melancholy is still strongly present also on the new album.

“Upon making the songs we didn’t want to limit ourselves into a certain mold, but instead we tried out all the ideas we came up with, and a lot of them ended up on the album. Of course a lot of the ideas were wasted as well, but nothing was scratched only because of genre limitations.”

“Lyrically we swim in deep waters. The album is not a concept album per se, but atop personal issues, the main theme of the album concentrates around the darker side of the world, and the rising of that dark side into the dominant element in our daily lives. The end of the world, running out of cigarettes, running out of everything.”

Interview with SKIRMISH: “Drink your milk, stay in school and eat the asparagus!”

SKIRMISH is a heavy metal band from Kajaani, Finland formed in 2005. They have released their debut album “Through the Abacinated Eyes” by legendary Violent Journey Records 31st Aug 2011. Some has categorized Skirmish to death or even trash metal but what has driven the band forward has been to stay outside of different categories to be free of making good music in a tight leaning position.

1.You’ve released your debut album  “Through the Abacinated Eyes”  now. How do you feel about it?

Right now we feel relaxed because the album is finally released, we are satisfied about the final result, and the response so far has been mostly positive.

2. How long did the process of creating this album take?

Everything was done in a relatively short period of time. We started to write the music for the album around September of 2010, although some of the riffs were there already, and the album was recorded and mixed in the beginning of April ’11. We did spend loads of man-hours to get all the music and lyrics ready and prepared for the studio, but the recordings were done in about a week. The writing process was surprisingly easy, even the last songs was finished just couple of weeks before we hit the studio.
