Finnish Thrash Legends BLOODRIDE Unleash Studio Update for Their Highly Anticipated New Album!

Finnish thrash icons BLOODRIDE, fresh off their triumphant tour with Swedish metal juggernauts METHANE, are locked in the studio, forging the future of thrash metal. With a blazing determination, the band is crafting a sensational new album that promises to be their most powerful yet.

In a recent statement, the band revealed, "Despite our scattered locations around Finland, we're channeling our collective energy into eight incredible songs. Lyrically, we're tackling the raw realities of the world today—themes of war, destruction, hate, and deceit. Musically, expect the relentless thrash you love, with a nostalgic twist of old-school punkish speed metal in some tracks!"
