What?!?! LETTERBOMBS has more material?!?! You bet yer ass they do. On February 28th Tomb Tree and Mangoe Records will release two very limited runs of the new EP by Finland's LETTERBOMBS titled 'Väkivaltaisesti Sinun'. This follows their most recent split with In Wolves' Clothing and precedes a 4-way split cassette (releasing in April). Today I am premiering the sole single "Elämän jokainen hetki". Some info about the release:
"I met Laura for the first time at a premiere for a poetry zine in 2020. After that encounter, we stayed in touch, and she sent me the poems that can be heard on the release, and I just knew we had to get a wider audience to hear these. We recorded the spoken word parts first and had the accompanying music done soon after. I wrote the lyrics as a sort of response to the poems for a totally different perspective. We felt that we’d like to do our part for the victims of abuse and domestic violence, so we’ve decided to donate all profits to Ensi- ja Turvakotien liitto (The Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters)." – Eetu
"Roope took the lead on writing the music for the poems to fit the mood and emote certain feelings, which he managed to capture brilliantly. I co-wrote most of the actual Letterbombs tracks with Jussi. We wrote a total of five tracks, three can be heard on the release. In addition to having gone into new musical territories, we decided to take it even further by having an acoustic track and an experimental ambient/noise outro. Damián Antón Ojeda from Sadness did guest vocals, and they took the release to a whole new level. Despite having separate tracks on digital platforms, Väkivaltaisesti sinun “Violently Yours” is in fact a single track that is meant to be listened to in its entirety." – Chris

And they also had this to say about the track being premiered:
Elämän jokainen hetki (Every Last Moment) is portraying the poems from an antagonistic viewpoint, in which someone believes to have ownership and “permitted” you to experience your life. Till death do us part, which is the unfortunate reality for some victims of domestic violence.
We as a band, stand by the victims, and hope to raise awareness of this topic that affects so many globally. There is no room for theses heinous acts of barbaric brutality and toxic behaviour.
EMOVIOLENCE AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
To the track we go!!!
