Finnish industrial metal pioneers TURMION KÄTILÖT proudly announce the release of their highly anticipated twelfth studio album, Resodance, out today via Nuclear Blast Records. The new record marks another milestone in the band’s evolution, seamlessly blending their signature electronic-infused metal chaos with deep, conceptual artistry.
Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, Resodance masterfully captures the raw intensity and immediacy of Turmion Kätilöt’s legendary live performances. At the same time, it introduces a carefully constructed conceptual framework that sets it apart from traditional releases.
As vocalist and co-founder MC Raaka Pee describes it:
“Resodance completes a circle while continuing an endless cycle, much like the Ouroboros – the eternal serpent devouring its own tail. Every song represents an hour, every note its own colour and character. Across twelve tracks unfolds a continuous dance of resonance, where every moment finds its own distinct tone.”
This overarching philosophy runs deep throughout the record. Rather than simply delivering another collection of individual songs, Resodance presents a dynamic, 12-track journey where tension, melody, and heavy industrial rhythms constantly interact. The result is a sonic experience that feels both grandly cinematic and aggressively immediate.
To celebrate the global release, the band has also dropped an epic, visually stunning music video for the new focus track, ‘Näe Minut’.
The album comes in following formats: CD jewelcase 1 LP sleeve red & black marbled vinyl 1 LP sleeve transparent red & black marbled vinyl
Tracklist: Nostajat Kunnioita Pöytäviinaa Ja Pimeitä Naisia Amon-Ra Hallelujah! Näe Minut Lunastakaa Karma Levolle Laske Teloitus Raivotarjonta In Our Dreams (to be continued 1)
The Ultimate Live Spectacle: Colossal Disco
The strategic release of Resodance serves as the perfect fuel for the band’s most massive headlining milestone to date.
On October 24, 2026—just one day after the full record drops—TURMION KÄTILÖT will host their monumental “Colossal Disco” event at the legendary Helsinki Ice Hall (Helsingin jäähalli).
Several thousand fans are set to pack the arena, ready to bring the ice-ring to a definitive boil.
To further support the new release, the band will take their legendary, high-octane live show across Europe in February 2027. The tour promises to bring the industrial dance floor to life, featuring a mix of brand-new tracks from Resodance alongside fan-favorite anthems.

Finnish disco-metal pioneers TURMION KÄTILÖT have unleashed ‘Amon-Ra,’ the explosive third single from their highly anticipated upcoming album, Resodance, which will be released on October, 23 via Nuclear Blast.
The track arrives alongside a cinematic, high-energy music video and the official announcement of the band’s European headlining tour kicking off in February 2027.
Known for their signature blend of crushing metal riffs and relentless electronic beats, TURMION KÄTILÖT deliver a true club banger with ‘Amon-Ra.’ The single raises the stakes for Resodance, showcasing the band’s unmatched ability to fuse dark, aggressive themes with infectious, danceable rhythms. The accompanying music video matches the track’s intensity, offering fans a visually stunning and characteristically chaotic spectacle.
Vocalist Shag-U comments on the track: “Amon-Ra brings out that delicious sense of twistedness that is absolutely essential to our music. Everyone must find their own interpretation of the world this ritual leads them into. This is a prophecy – the final omen before the album is unleashed.”

THE GHOULSTARS, the Finnish horror punk supergroup behind this year’s debut album The Dark Overlords of the Universe, have been confirmed as the opening act for TURMION KÄTILÖT’s Resodance Tour 2026. The band will play six dates across Finland between December 3 and December 19, 2026, hitting Jyväskylä, Joensuu, Seinäjoki, Oulu and Turku.
Before releasing a single track, The Ghoulstars had already built a reputation on the strength of their live shows, sharing stages with established acts and headlining gigs on the back of word of mouth alone. The Resodance dates mark their first extended run since the release of their debut, giving audiences a first look at how the album’s mix of metal riffing, punk rock choruses and B-movie theatrics translates to the stage.
The Ghoulstars x Turmion Kätilöt — Resodance Tour 2026-2027: 3 December: Jyväskylä, FI @ Lutakko 4 December: Jyväskylä, FI @ Lutakko 5 December: Joensuu, FI @ Kerubi 11 December: Seinäjoki, FI @ Rytmikorjaamo 12 December: Oulu, FI @ Tarkastamo 19 December: Turku, FI @ Teatro
The tour follows the May 15th release of The Dark Overlords of the Universe via Season of Mist, mixed and mastered by V. Santura of Triptykon. Opening for Turmion Kätilöt puts The Ghoulstars in front of one of Finland’s biggest cult live draws, a natural pairing for a band built on theatrical, genre-blurring performance.
The Dark Overlords of the Universe remains available now across digital download, CD digipak and 12″ vinyl gatefold, including a coloured yellow, red and white marbled pressing. With the Resodance dates approaching, there’s no better window to catch up on the album before hearing it live.

Old crusty metalheads can be stuck in their ways, but THE GHOULSTARS are a fresh—and frightening—blast from the past. Since invading the land of the living back in 2021, the horror punk supergroup has captivated press and tantalized crowds in their native haunt of Finland without releasing a single bloody track. Until now! Evil mastermind Markus “Daddy Ghoul” Laakso and his fellow pop-culture junkies are raising the cobwebbed curtain from their blockbuster debut album. On The Dark Overlords of the Universe, no tome is too sacred for these ghouls to summon back to life!
“The Dark Overlords of the Universe is a love letter to our fifteen-year-old selves”, Laakso says. “It’s crammed with headbanging metal riffs, shout-along punk rock choruses, B-movie easter eggs, ‘80s aesthetics, surprising curveballs and the sheer joy of all the pieces falling into the right places. Move over, Rover, and let the ghouls take over!”.
Despite their ghostly appearance, The Ghoulstars are a collection of real talent. Axeman Laakso and goose-bumping drummer Toni “Ghoulio” Ronkainen shared a past life together in the Top Ten charting Finnish death-doom band Kuolemanlaakso. Bassist Markus “Hella Ghoul” Makkonen formerly haunted the low end for Season of Mist labelmates Hooded Menace while moonhowler Arthur “LL Ghoul A” Thure croons for the stoner rockers Thermate.
Banding The Ghoulstars together is a freaky obsession with the classic metal, punk and movies that blew their minds as kids. The Dark Overlords of the Universe is named after the many-teethed mutants from the 1986 cult classic Howard the Duck. “I grew up during a time when movies in Finland were censored, so my hobby was collecting uncensored VHS tapes of horror and sci-fi movies any way I could”, Laakso reveals. As a young skeleton, he frequently raided European record store crates for The Misfits, Bad Religion and obscure metal finds though the album’s lead single spun off from his schooling in the U.S. With Mötley Crüe’s pomp and the can’t-do attitude of Twisted Sister roaming its halls, lead single “Too Ghoul for School” is jam-packed with more fun-filled ‘80s antics than Saturday afternoon detention.
“Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Lost Boys and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are some of my favorite movies”, Laakso applauds. “I love the cliched characters: the nerds, the jocks, the cool kids and the rebels. They remind me of my junior high school days”.
To bring their ingenious creation to life, The Ghoulstars summoned V. Santura of the mighty Triptykon for the mixing and mastering of The Dark Overlords of the Universe. “Graverobbers from Outer Space” pays homage to Ed Wood’s B-horror classic Plan 9 from Outer Space with a straight-up headbanging chorus, though not many clear-cut punk rippers are enlivened by a doomy C-part and güiro. “That’s one of my favorite moments on the album”, Laakso recalls before relishing the song’s death metal finish. The Wolfman, a zombie apocalypse, the brain that wouldn’t die and other cultishly beloved touchstones jump out during the album’s crisp 34-minute runtime. Though the band also enter original plots to horror’s hallowed crypt. Set amidst the cruel unfeeling world of the Wild West, “The Dead in Purgatory” rides a galloping melody after Morricone’s heart into a sunset that’s colored by the fifty shades of Volbeat.
“No spoilers, but all cowboy hats aside, that song deals with feeling hopeless and abandoned by someone close to you who needs but refuses your help”, teases Laakso.
The Ghoulstars may be undead, but there’s nothing pale or lifeless about The Dark Overlords of the Universe. The title track crosses surf beats, heavy riffing and a hair-raising transition into a chorus that’s absolutely to die for. “We can’t wait to unleash this delightful horror upon the world”, Daddy Ghoul says with an ominous glint in his bloodshot eye. “As V. Santura told me: ‘The record is unique, catchy and a really fun listen’”.
With The Dark Overlords of the Universe, The Ghoulstars direct a monstrously catchy mash-up between metal, punk and B-horror.

Following the massive wave of anticipation sparked by their recent album announcement and the chaotic first track “Raivotarjonta,” Finnish industrial metal pioneers TURMION KÄTILÖT are doubling down. Today, the band strikes again with ‘Lunastakaa,’ the fiercely energetic second single from their upcoming twelfth studio album, Resodance, arriving globally on October 23, 2026, viaNuclear Blast Records.
Known for blending heavy industrial metal, pulsing electronic music, and wicked dark humor into a genre completely their own, the band continues to push creative boundaries with ‘Lunastakaa.’ The high-octane track arrives with an epic, visually striking music video that reflects the band’s trademark theatrical intensity and unmatched ability to turn extreme metal into a relentless dancefloor party.
Composer of the song, RunQ, comments: “Various demos have usually ended up waiting for the right moment to be released. When I was doing this, I immediately felt that this might not end up on the waiting list, at least not for a very long time 😉 “
Shag-U adds: “I often write songs by looking in the mirror, but with ‘Lunastakaa’, the mirror became a window. The lyrics grew out of news stories about the abuse of power and exploitation, and questions about how deeply a person can be broken and whether there can ever be justice or compensation for what has happened. I love the contrast between the song’s upbeat, energetic feel and the way the lyrics twist that world into something grotesque – that’s one of the things I love most about Turmion Kätilöt. Later, someone also found a more self-ironic interpretation in the lyrics: artists turning themselves into commodities in exchange for money, visibility or approval. That fits this world frighteningly well, too.”
The album comes in following formats:
CD jewelcase
1 LP sleeve red & black marbled vinyl
1 LP sleeve transparent red & black marbled vinyl

High-octane Finnish industrial metal masters TURMION KÄTILÖT have officially announced their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Resodance, scheduled for global release on October 23, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, the upcoming record perfectly captures the ferocious, raw energy of the band’s legendary live performances. Musically and lyrically, Resodance dives deep into sonic experimentation, exploring dark, interconnected themes of universal cycles, resonance, and personal transformation.
To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed the album’s fierce first single, “Raivotarjonta,” accompanied by a high-octane, sweaty, fast-paced music video. The track serves as a perfect blueprint for the album’s overall direction: crushing guitar riffs meet pulsating electronic beats, while aggressive vocal deliveries collide head-on with unforgettable melodic hooks.
The album comes in following formats: CD jewelcase, 1 LP sleeve red & black marbled vinyl, 1 LP sleeve transparent red & black marbled vinyl
Vocalist Shag-U comments on the single: “ The lyrics started from the saying, “It can’t really hurt if it doesn’t even draw blood,” which took on a life of its own as I watched the strange world of social media and the way people speak to one another. The idea that words can’t destroy someone is absurd. Most of us know, at the very least, of someone who ended up doing something irreversible because of them. From there, the story began to take shape around a person who finally snaps. Rage boils over from beneath despair as the situation hurtles towards its inevitable breaking point. Pain doesn’t need a face. All you have to do is look in the mirror. Add a touch of personal experience, the title Raivotarjonta suggested by MC Raaka Pee, and there it was.”
MC Raaka Pee adds: “Raivotarjonta doesn’t move forward – it breathes. Driven by restless rhythms and stripped-back harmonies, it draws inspiration from the cold, uncompromising machine music of the late ’90s and early 2000s, where simplicity becomes overwhelming through tension, contrast and sheer weight.”

Meet KING SATAN: Industrial metal heretics born from the heart of Finland’s underground music scene in late 2015. Presenting a genre-fluid extreme metal circus that melds electro-industrial, symphonic black metal and death metal elements together with raw energy of rock’roll on a stage existing somewhere between shameless shock rock and chaotic avantgarde theatre.
Founded in late 2015, this genre-fluid group is the brainchild of enigmatic artist Mr. King Aleister Satan (Henget, Saturnian Mist), which has evolved from its electro-aggrotech origins into a full-throttle industrial metal band over the years. The act’s vision of extreme metal brings forth an anarchistic blend of carnivalesque artistry, absurdist dark comedy, occult intrigue, and in-depth philosophical ponderings, served in an intoxicating blend of rocking dance beats, thought-provoking lyrics, mesmerizing melodies, and addictive hooks the band themselves have titled as ‘death metal disco’— a fusion fit for both dance floors and mosh pits. With all these elements, the band defies conventions and embraces controversy the way which should not really make any sense on paper – and yet, it has consistently helped to create always more buzz for the band wherever they go.
But KING SATAN is more than just a mere musical entity; Known for their infectious charisma and captivating performances, it’s a live experience that electrifies stages and captivates audiences. With a reputation solidified by three full-length albums and viral chart-climbing singles in Finland and Germany, they’ve graced renowned festivals like Tuska Festival, Nummirock Metal Festival and Dark Malta Festival. The group has also toured in Europe in several countries, headlining their own shows and supporting revered acts like Gothminister, Deathstars, Battle Beast, Hocico, Nachtmahr, and Turmion Kätilöt on the way.
The band’s 4th full-length album ”The Devil’s Evangelion” is set to be released world wide on November 8, 2024 via NOBLE DEMON RECORDS which will be previewed again with single releases and music videos following the motto of their ever-growing congregation: Chaos is the Law!
