Finnish metal band Post Pulse makes metal music from Helsinki. In
the north, it's common to think about death, loss, sadness, and pain
when the months get dark and cold.
As the world experiences an extreme level of death, Post Pulse has
written an anthem about those lost and what it's like to deal with that
loss.
Listen to the EP:
FIGURES ON THE SAND is an epic track that combines the elements of
doom, punk, and death metal in a way that is a signature sound of Post
Pulse. The lyrics are about pain, loss, and dealing with death in a
sincere and human way. While Post Pulse doesn't shy away from producing
emotional music, FIGURES ON THE SAND is by far the most emotionally
intense song in their repertoire so far.
SCORCHING THE SKY takes a broader view of the world, our times, and
the speed at which we seem to be extinguishing humanity. We know that
human life has a time limit in the lifespan of our universe. This song
shares our feeling about how humans seem to want to accelerate our
extinction. The music is much more upbeat and aggressive, with a few
progressive elements used tastefully throughout the track.
With titles like FIGURES ON THE SAND and SCORCHING THE SKY, it only
made sense to guitarist Antti Karhu to create an EP cover with an
earthy feel. Compared with some other Post Pulse cover artwork, this
straightforward image speaks perfectly to the feeling you can expect
from this release.
The lyric video for FIGURES ON THE SAND was conceptualized and
produced by bassist Sam Roon and guitarist Antti Karhu. Using a video
manipulation tool to create various glitch effects, timed with different
instrumental parts of the song, there is a consistent pulse to the
overwhelming visual display. Lyrics are layered on top of the
manipulated image, so they are possible to read.
