The Rasmus is a Finnish rock band formed in 1995 in Helsinki. The original band members Lauri Ylönen (vocalist / songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Pauli Rantasalmi (guitar) and Janne Heiskanen (drums). Heiskanen left the band in 1998 and replaced by Aki Hakala. In 2017 they are planning to release their ninth album called Dark Matters wich will include previously released single Paradise.
3 songs were leaked but nobody seems to know it….
Which songs?
crystaline, wonderman and something in the dark
Nothing was released. There are previews for Dragons Into Dreams, Delirium, Black Days, and Empire.
Less than 2 weeks and no leaks… Crazy. Sucks too… The album is shaping up to be epic.
What a disappointing album. This band has absolutely lose its identity. It’s like they got together in the studio and said, “ok, what’s trendy nowadays, what’s the music that sounds on the radio and the club? Let’s do exactly that.” They are literally selling a product. Paradise and Wonderman were somewhat interesting, specially Wonderman because it made you think there were going to be more metal songs in the album. Absolutely no. It’s all electronic, plastic and void. Every song is the same, they take the song title and repeat it at least twice. It’s really shocking to see a band going to this length for whatever reason they have. It’s unbelievable that these are the same people that did albums like Into, Dead Letters, Hell of a Tester and Black Roses.
