June 12, 2020, 4 years ago
Helsinki-based hard rock band Flat Earth, featuring former HIM members Mikko "Linde" Lindström (guitar) and Mika "Gas Lipstick" Karppinen (drums), as well as bassist Niclas Etelävuori (ex-Amorphis) and singer Anttoni "Anthony" Pikkarainen (Polanski), have released a new lyric video for "Neverhappy".
Pikkarainen states about "Neverhappy": "A song about people who don't ever let themselves be happy. Overwhelming negativity seems to be a goddamn culture these days, and poor are the ones who think life is about contemplating your own insignificant problems. I'm sure the simplicity of life has added greatly to this phenomenon — people are sick for not worrying about real-life problems so they think they can elevate to have unrealistic expectations about their lives. Rightfully life will bring everyone of us to our knees sooner or later."
Heavy, melodic and passionate, Flat Earth produces heavy riffs, blasting beats and cinematic chords that combine to create an unforgiving, passionate, and dynamic sound.
The band’s debut single, "Blame", premiered on Radio Rock in 2018, immediately gaining popularity, throughout Finland and the rest of Europe. The single "Cyanide" followed in the footsteps of the debut single, gaining public recognition and earning them a spot opening for Alice In Chains, in Helsinki. To date, they have over half a million streams on Spotify, alone.
In the beginning of 2019, the band entered the studio to record the follow-up to their debut album, None For One. This time with legendary producer Tim Palmer behind the mixing desk. With the album now complete, the band are ready to hit the road once again and unleash their finest creation to the world.
Flat Earth’s second album, is coming out in the fall of 2020.
