Product Information

Bloodred Hourglass, also known as BRHG, is a metal band from Mikkeli, Finland. The history of the project roots back to 2005, when the first self-made demo was scratched together.

The band's accolades already before getting signed include a notable bunch of festival appearances at major Finnish festivals and even some radio airplay, the latter being a thing which in Finnish corporate media climate is about as common as encountering a snowbird in Hell.
The band’s first full length studio album “Lifebound” was released in 2012 with the help of the Finnish metal behemoth, Spinefarm Records. Due to unfortunate circumstances (changes in the label personnel) the co-operation was called quits soon after. Three years later, it was time for the band’s second outing: the crushing "Where the Oceans Burn" was released to critical acclaim via OneManArmy Records in October 2015.
Bloodred Hourglass combines elements and influences from various different musical genres, main focus obviously being on metal. Fast drum patterns, thrashy riffage among big guitar walls, a lot of melodic atmosphere due to keyboards together with growling and screaming aggressive vocals are the main architects behind the sound of this five man band. Despite the variety of influences and different type of elements you can hear in their material, the band feels their music is closest to be described as melodic death metal. Feet firmly planted on the ground the band’s lyrical themes are focused on individual’s experience of everyday life, as well as aspects of environmental issues.
In January of 2017 this year, BRHG finished the recordings of their next album titled "Heal", slated for release via Ranka Kustannus on October 20th. “Heal’s” lavish melodies and rif-your-face-off rifforama sees BRHG taking a progressive leap and entering the upper echelon of Finnish band ready for international breakthrough. Bloodred Hourglass anno 2017 is all set to give the genre greats a run.
