6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit THE RASMUS are excited to share their new track “Rest In Pieces” via Better Noise Music and Playground Music. Out today, October 25, digitally, the band have also shared its lyric video, seen streaming below or HERE. Listen now via your preferred streaming platform HERE.
“Rest In Pieces” is an irresistibly heavy, dark and melodic song, marking the start of the next chapter in THE RASMUS’ sonic evolution with a sense of fearless bravado and world-conquering intensity. Its hard-hitting and unapologetic lyrics stem from a place of anger and betrayal. Founder, frontman, and lead singer-songwriterLauri Ylönen shares: “This all started very organically, the story behind the music is that I was betrayed by a friend. I was sad and pissed off at the same time. I wanted to channel my frustration into the music and create what I call a ‘f*ck you song’ for revenge.”
“That’s usually the best thing for any artist or creator to do in that situation,” he continues. “You take the emotion and turn it into something powerful. There’s an impulse that comes through and you find the strength to capture it in the form of music to make art. It might seem negative at first, but I wanted this song to also feel empowering to anyone who hears it. There’s that uplifting thing that we do. I would say ‘Rest In Pieces’ is very positive amongst all the intensity.”
THE RASMUS will bring their unforgettable stage show to audiences worldwide in 2025 on the “Weirdo” global tour. Tickets are on sale now for its European leg (9/12 – 12/6), see full dates listed below. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for additional dates.
Grammy-nominated powerhouse Beth Hart is back with the release of her highly anticipated new album, You Still Got Me, out now via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. To celebrate the occasion, Beth has also unveiled a stunning in-studio video for the album’s explosive opening track, “Savior With A Razor,” which features a jaw-dropping collaboration with Guns N’ Roses’ legendary guitarist, Slash.
The track, a soaring rocker, erupts with Beth’s gritty vocals, as she snarls the powerful lyrics: “Dig my bad bones out the trash, sell my sick soul, keep the cash, kiss the preacher, kiss my ass, I’m a rager, like a savior, with a razor, I’m takin’ the devil down.” This Bond-like anthem thunders with nihilistic defiance, and Beth’s towering vocal performance guides the listener through the shadows, breaking through the ceiling with Slash’s electrifying guitar wrapping itself around the story. The two artists unite in a dynamic and intense performance that showcases their undeniable chemistry.
“Beth Hart is one of my favorite artists to work with,” shared Slash. “She is an incredible singer/lyricist on so many levels. But Beth is also as sincere and genuine a friend as they come. She’s amazing.”
“Slash is a real team player,” echoed Beth. “I’ve met some pretty incredible people in this business that are high profilers, and that dude is the best team player I’ve ever come across. He’s just a badass with zero ego and knows a lot about the razor’s edge. I got really lucky. I reached out and said, ‘Hey man, would you be at all interested?’, and he was absolutely down. He was totally into it, and I was just shocked.”
The accompanying in-studio video captures the raw energy of the recording process, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Beth’s intense vocal delivery as she sings to Slash’s electrifying guitar work. The video spotlights Beth’s powerful presence, bringing the song’s dark, defiant spirit to life, with Slash’s guitar adding an electrifying layer to the track’s bold and captivating sound.
Beth Hart will be touring the US and Europe throughout 2024 and into 2025. You can get tickets HERE.
