Inferno is hosting the exclusive full-album premiere of QWÄLEN’s upcoming third record, “Veri Virtaa Edelleen”, set for release on March 6th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records. With this new work, QWÄLEN push deeper into their raw and confrontational domain, merging scathing black metal intensity with the urgent drive of punk. The result is a relentless yet atmospheric statement that sharpens their identity without sacrificing the primal essence at the core of their sound. “Veri Virtaa Edelleen” explores the decay of human reality, the dismantling of kings and gods, and the cyclical nature of fraternal violence. Rooted in the spirit of black metal while refusing its narrow confines, the album stands as QWÄLEN’s most direct and uncompromising chapter to date. Blood continues to flow.

Kuolleet jumalat Preorders: https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/qwalen-veri-virtaa-edelleen https://qwaelen.bandcamp.com/album/veri-virtaa-edelleen Formed in 2017, QWÄLEN channels the raw musical backgrounds of its members – active in bands such as Kürøishi, Viimeinen Virhe, Letterbombs and Hoc Est Bellum – into a distinctive interpretation of black metal built on simplicity, rawness, speed and honesty. These foundations shaped their debut, “Unohdan sinut”, which explored self-portrayal, loss, rebuilding, abandonment, misanthropy and Satan. Their second album, “Syvä hiljaisuus”, turned its gaze toward humanity’s sheep-like nature, the inevitability of destruction, the acceptance of flaw and the surrender to greater forces. The new album continues in this vein, embracing the decay of human reality, the fall of kings and gods and the sinister repetition of brotherly violence – motifs that, for QWÄLEN, mean nothing and yet define everything. As with their previous record, the album was tracked at Waiting Room Recording Studio in Tampere with Mikael Neves, who also handled the mixing. Mastering was completed at Enormous Door by Jack Control, while artwork and layout were created by the always formidable Jussi Pohjanen. Line-up: Eetu Viita: Vocals
