Presents "Birth of Terror" - Prepare for a Ravaging Reissue!

Finnish heavy metal outfit METAL RIOT has joined forces with Wormholedeath Records to unleash a sonic assault in the form of their debut album, "Birth of Terror", on a re-release rampage set for November 15th, 2024!

Metal Riot, formed in Akaa, Finland, in 2015 and now based in Tampere, delivers raw and authentic heavy metal infused with traditional metal and punk influences. Founded by vocalist and former guitarist Joonas Myller and bassist Benjamin Sairamo, the band underwent several lineup changes before settling on their current members: Myller, Sairamo, guitarists Mika Takanen & Marcus Johansson, and drummer Joonas Kokko. Now with the plans to make a plethora of Songs not just speed or thrash metal in mind, the band has its pedal-to-the-metal on its way to the all-or-nothing. This lineup brought renewed focus and energy, culminating in the release of their debut album Birth of Terror in 2024, under Wormholedeath Records.

A Conceptual Masterpiece

"Birth of Terror" is not just an album; it’s an auditory and visual experience. The songs dive into myriad themes, from horror to real-life reflections, each track a journey into the band’s psyche. The cover art, conceptualized with the vision of a strong female protagonist, is a striking departure from the typical metal album imagery of zombies and monsters. Finnish artist Pauli Maronen was brought on board to bring this powerful character to life, embodying the band’s desire to break the mold and deliver something unique.

Overcoming the Odds

The path to Birth of Terror has been anything but straightforward. What began with fifteen songs had to be entirely reimagined due to lineup changes. Recording the album proved to be a test of endurance, with suboptimal conditions for drums and vocals, leaving only the guitars and bass to be recorded in a proper studio setting. Despite these hurdles, METAL RIOT has emerged stronger, with an album that captures their essence and energy.

A Stand Against Modern Trends

In a metal scene often criticized for its repetitiveness and the overuse of downtuned guitars, METAL RIOT stands firm in their commitment to a classic heavy metal sound. Rejecting trends that compromise the genre’s heaviness, the band draws inspiration from a wide array of sources—other music, personal emotions, nature, and the unexpected moments that life offers.
