THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VELVETCUT HONORS THE 90s GRUNGE ERA WITH THE GREAT CHAMELEON (NEW SKIN)
REVITALIZED ALBUM DROPS NOVEMBER 21, 2025 VIA ROCKHOPPER MUSIC

Finnish alt-rock torchbearers Velvetcut are gearing up to unleash The Great Chameleon (New Skin) on November 21, 2025, a fully reimagined edition of their 2025 comeback album The Great Chameleon. This new version digs deep into the dirt and heart of the 90s grunge era, celebrating its rawness while pushing Velvetcut’s own evolution forward.

The Great Chameleon (New Skin) expands the original record with two previously unreleased tracks that shine a brighter light on the band’s range and roots:

• Carnival Of Lust – A heavy-grooved, hypnotic grunge crawler that even features spoon playing as a sly, respectful wink to Soundgarden’s iconic “Spoonman.”
• Rabbit Holes – A mellow, atmospheric dive into Velvetcut’s introspective side, showing the band’s talent for dynamic mood and texture.

The album also includes three songs originating from Velvetcut’s early 90s writing sessions. One standout is Run Rabbit Run , their newly recorded take on the cult classic originally performed by Finnish rock legends Smack . Smack left their fingerprints all over the late 80s West Coast underground, catching the ear of Kurt Cobain himself; early Nirvana even covered “Run Rabbit Run” live, with rare footage still floating around online for the diehards.

Velvetcut has long been known for blending grunge grit with melodic weight and atmospheric depth. After releasing three albums and stepping back in 2012, the band made a triumphant return in 2025 with The Great Chameleon. Now, New Skin gives the record a second life, honoring the band’s origins while sharpening their modern identity.

The album was engineered and mixed by Topi Wiio and mastered by Svante Forsback (Chartmakers) . Velvetcut is managed by Rockhopper Agency and released through Rockhopper Music .

The Great Chameleon (New Skin) lands on all major digital platforms November 21, 2025.
