Finnish heavy metallers DEMONESSA are back with their brand new 2-song single ‘Taste Of Blood” (+ bonus track), coming just in time for Halloween, on October 31st!
“Taste of Blood” is a more horror-themed release for Halloween, featuring two brand-new songs that were written around the same time as the debut album Wild ‘N’ Loud. While they were ultimately left off the album, their darker similar themes made them a perfect fit for a new Halloween release. As a bonus track, there’s also a shortened version of the opening track of Wild ‘N’ Loud, “Till Death Do Us Part”, without the minute-long acoustic intro, so listeners can get to the meat of the song faster.
After Jones Tervas’ departure from the band, a man with steel calves, known as Jerry Iron, quickly decided to hop on the stool of heavy metal behind the drum kit and gave a thunderous performance that was mixed and mastered by an old familiar name, Aleksis Pelli at Mix Studio 1101, who also worked the magic on the debut album. The new drummer, new drums, new mics, and new recording space all came together wonderfully, providing an excellent next step for the sound the band is going for.
The main parts of the new songs were once again written by guitarist John Creweholm, with input and ideas from the other band members. The singer S3nsku wrote the lyrics and came up with the vocal melodies.
To give the release a proper visual counterpart, and to show off the filmmaking skills, the release will be accompanied by a music video for the song “Taste of Blood”, which is inspired by old horror movies. Instead of just showing the band playing in the dark woods, there’s also a proper vampire-themed storyline about a vampire whose bloodlust ultimately becomes her downfall.
After attacking her victim in the woods, she becomes so lost in the ecstasy of the kill that she fails to notice the sun rising until it is too late. The story was written by John Creweholm, who also handled the main directing and editing duties, while S3nsku filmed the two beautiful actors, Fiona Fyhr and Sakari Mattila.
