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.
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-songwriter Lauri 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.
