Svart Records is set to release Kuolemankello’s debut album in October 2025, new single out now!

A blend of original proto-heavy metal and tough rock, Kuolemankello will release their debut album »Perkeet« in October 2025. Eemeli Lehtonen, Tomi Helomaa and Matti Kallio founded the band as a noisy counterbalance to the bleakness of the covid era.

Kuolemankello’s basis is to play loud rock in the spirit of old heavy metal, as if Black Sabbath and Finnish rock legend Tuomari Nurmio started jamming together. Sketchy songs baked around the screaming riffs, rolled up in full-body comping and marinated in a concrete bunker. An original band, with no clear plan or premonition.

The etymology of the band’s name reflects the finite nature of time and a certain kind of fatalism; life is short and the death clock is ticking, better to start a band now than tomorrow. Three years after the formation of the band, it’s time to set the debut album free.

The band’s latest single, the riff-driven »Haaskalintu« with its screeching guitars, is a good representation of Kuolemankello’s musical backbone and the bleak nature theme of the »Perkeet« album. »Haaskalintu« is the band’s favorite song to play live, and the intense video directed by animation artist Malakias creates a magnificent apocalyptic atmosphere.

Kuolemankello’s debut album »Perkeet« will be released on October 31st, 2025 on CD, digital platforms, and of course on three gorgeous vinyl editions, of which the limited-to-50-copies turquoise tinted transparent vinyl is only available at Svart Records’ webstore.
