“Every drop of heart blood is squeezed into this album.” – Finnish metal band Black .44 released their second studio album »Bloodlines«!

Finnish metal band Black .44 released their second studio album »Bloodlines« on February 7th 2025 via Inverse Records. Their debut album “No Blanks” hit the Official Finnish Album Charts on position #19 in 2015. To celebrate the album release, the band also released a stunning music video »Aftermath« made by Anssi Korhonen.

Watch »Aftermath« music video HERE.

Life has taken the band members around the world since their debut album, and finally the next album will see the light of day. That’s pretty much the only daylight we’ll encounter with the release.

The band continues the theme of the first album with dark themes, because they too have to be confronted and overcome. Throughout the album, we deal with mental illness, extreme intolerance, political shenanigans and reflections on taking another person’s life along the tunes of tasty hard rock and stoner inspired metal.

The main themes of the album are the extreme difficulties of different parts of societies, the mental imbalance of certain individuals of humankind and the fundamental problems in humanity that pave the way of our race as a small grain of sand in the cold emptiness of the universe.

Our second album is a humble bow to the musical influences we grew up with to our respectable adult age, and we hope that these elements will also make our listeners smile and nod their heads along our music, because every drop of heart blood is squeezed into this album.
