Finnish Psychedelic Metallers HUNDRED HEADLESS HORSEMEN Share "Breath Of Death" Performance From Debut Album Release Livestream Show

Hundred Headless Horsemen is a psychedelic death metal band hailing from Helsinki, Finland signed to Inverse Records. Although the band members prefer to remain anonymous, they have shared a live performance clip for "Breath Of Death", shot during their Apokalepsia album release livestream concert back in May.

"No Longer Human" is the third single from Hundred Headless Horsemen's first full length, a concept album titled Apokalepsia that was released on May 21st. Check out the visualizer for the track below.

"What to do when you do not recognize yourself anymore? You fear that others will note what is happening to you. You do everything in your power to hide it from their eyes. But the transformation is oblivious to your will, fears, needs. You already bear its marks for everyone to see."

The band blends together different subgenres from the past and present to create a unique brand of psychedelic death metal. Their musical approach mirrors the narrative of the album, that moves in multiple time and space dimensions based on fragments of articles about a formerly unknown psychoneurological condition.

"We were so sure of ourselves. So sure we were in control that we forgot we all were, first and foremost, biomass. Biomass that consisted of trillions of bacteria inside our own bodies whose sole reason for existence was to continue existing. We should have learned ages ago that we were never unaffected by the needs of what was living inside of us. In fact, how could we tell which of our desires were our own and which of them were born out of the other living mechanisms inside us?

If the larger biomass we all are a part of decided that it was time for us to self-destruct, would we wilfully do so? Although ecosystems do not decide things, they merely strive to survive. Why did we think we were above all these mechanisms, even if turning a blind eye to them proposed a direct threat to our existence?”

Step into the realm of Apokalepsia. HIC SUNT DRACONES."

Apokalepsia was recorded at Sir Näs Studios in Helsinki, Finland and mastered by Magnus Lindberg Productions in Stockholm, Sweden. Check out the band's official Facebook page here.
