Finnish black metal band Luusäkki is set to release a self-titled debut album which will be out via Inverse Records on October 17th 2024. Fifth of the Fifth Columns is the first single from the album, which was written and recorded in Helsinki in the fall of 2022. Fifth of the Fifth Columns is the fifth track of the upcoming debut album, yet it is a mirror of the whole album’s expression. It came out on July 31st, to give a taste of what’s to come.
MS comments:
“Fifth of the Fifth Columns is a multi-phase progressive black metal piece. The song deals with emotional distancing, political tensions, and societal decay. The lyrics convey a strong sense of disappointment in both personal and collective actions. Mentions of the ‘fifth column’ refer to recurring betrayals against humanity.”
Luusäkki is a Finnish one-man project combining black metal, death metal and ambient music. The unstable atmosphere of 2022 gave impetus to the creative process that gave birth to this amazing band.
