Finnish melodic heavy metal band Ikirouta has released a new song “Uusi päivä” (A New Day). This is the 19th single by this Kajaani -based band. On this tight song the band cut to the chase immediately and the first chorus strikes in after half a minute.
Guitarist and composer Teemu Kuosmanen tells about the song: “Uusi päivä is something quite different from our band but it still got the familiar Ikirouta-sound. We wanted to try some new stuff and we used some synth-bass, electric drum fills and mixed in a little bit of disco metal twist. Really big thanks to Janne Tolsa about the soundscape. Especially on the chorus got some traditional Finnish pop touch. And the length – I have never before written a song this short. It’s actually quite a challenge to push all the important elements into a three minute song. We are really excited to see how people will react to this!”
Ikirouta is hard working live band playing constantly all around Finland. The band is also active organizing popular Facebook -live streams from their rehearsals that have had over 10 000 viewers on most popular streams.
