Vocalist Jussi Matilainen Comments: 
“First of all, I need to explain what ‘Rahko’ means. It is a malevolent night spirit from Finnish mythology that paints the moon black. Imagine if the moon is the only lantern in the dark that keeps the beasts at bay. What happens when even that light is taken away? ‘

Rahko’ and the other songs on the album are based on Finnish and Nordic mythology, which we use as metaphors. We focus on the dark aspects of the human mind and how they can take over. Rahko depicts the full power of the night’s horrors and the threat of dawn. The song gives a taste of what adrenaline-filled death/black metal from Where’s My Bible offers while maintaining melodicism. It also feels dangerous to write such songs because I always strongly empathize with them while creating them and try to infuse the emotional state into the music. I am pleased with the result and the way I used my voice brutally and diversely. And all of this is just a glimpse into the song and the overarching theme of the entire album, which unfolds like a story. I would love to share it all with you, but we need to arrange an interview separately so I can elaborate on the whole concept in detail.”

“’Rahko’ was the second to last song I wrote on the album. I had a feeling that the album need’s a fast and massive song where Jussi can also show off his talent. And when i started to record ideas at my home studio it was that magical moment as a composer when the whole song came out from one sitting as it is now.” Says guitarist Pasi Löfgren

Rahko Music video maker and the band’s drummer Teppo Ristola concludes:
“‘Rahko’ was the first video I got to make for our band. Creating it was an amazing experience, but also a significant challenge due to the tight schedule. The previous videos were made by the talented Olli Tiainen, who has been responsible for our earlier visuals. The videos for ‘Fenrir,’ ‘Creator Of Abyss,’ and the album’s title track are also his work. His incredible work set the bar high, but I hope we managed to bring our unique vision to this project.

We filmed in North Valkeala, in the landscapes of Repovesi National Park. It’s hard to get closer to a quintessential Finnish landscape than this.

The band had several ideas for the ‘Rahko’ video, so I tried to combine everyone’s thoughts into one cohesive piece. The song is aggressive, fast, and brutal, so I felt that quick cuts and a dynamic, expressive shooting style suited it perfectly, highlighting what the song is all about. Jussi also delivers impressive vocals, so it was great to support that visually, especially in the bridge section of the song.”

Vocalist Jussi Matilainen Comments: 
“The lyrics are a combination of the human mind and Nordic mythology as a metaphor.

In the song ‘Fenrir’ we focus on bringing the story to life with theatrics adding a poetic style of narration to it, like in the old days.

The song is about Fenrir the wolf eating the sun when Ragnarok starts and thus setting an end to an era and launching a mythical apocalypse.

The main idea behind this story is; what is your Fenrir? What is the big bad beast to destroy your own world? Fenrir can be a real thing and alive because of your own creation. It can be an unsolved problem in your life you never took care of and it haunts you in the dark of night.

In this song, we included nearly a thousand-year-old instruments such as the kravik lyre (which is self-made) and the tagelharpa to enhance the narrative and its mythical essence.

The theme of the album itself revolves strongly around Nordic mythology and the human mind, especially during the night time. We will open this concept more later on but now is a great time to follow us.“

Guitarist Pasi Löfgren comments:
“The upcoming album follows musically the same path of style as the “Circle” EP by bringing it to an even deeper level.

On Fenrir I wanted to include more of our technical playing combined with beautiful melodies and heavy riffs. And I couldn’t be happier how it turned out. With new added elements like kravik lyre and tagelharpa at the end of the song makes a great mix of technicality, melodiousness and heaviness and it is a perfect first taste of what you can expect from the album.” 

Olli Tiainen comments:

(Video director)

“Although it’s just about music videos, I feel that when making Where’s My Bible’s videos, we’re always dealing with something significant and meaningful, and Fenrir is no exception.

From my perspective the story is trying to convey a message where our minds can lead us to imagine problems and fear the worst. Even though these things exist only in our minds, over time, they grow and begin to affect our experience of reality. The inner world cannot be escaped; it must be confronted; otherwise, our fears will chain us in darkness.

Where’s My Bible’s videos are not just gloominess for the sake of gloominess, but there’s always a greater message in the background.”
