Five members and a lot of fun. The band was originally formed in 2016 but took it shape around 2021 when three new songs saw the darkness. After that band has released second ep &#8220;As A Unit&#8221; and did punch of gigs and minitours domestically in Finland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Early 2022 band locked itself in the studio and after couple of years (and other things) later the debut album &#8220;Mentes Reae&#8221; was released in physical form in may 31. and digital version at the end of september 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hagalas is:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kalle Korhonen, vocals<\/p>\n<p>Antti Huovila, guitar<\/p>\n<p>JM Helenius, guitar<\/p>\n<p>Ville Uimi, bass<\/p>\n<p>Teemu Kankainen, drums<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2018 Crimson Tide -ep<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2021 Ascendant -single<\/p>\n<p>2021 Catalyst -single<\/p>\n<p>2021 Monochromatic -single<\/p>\n<p>2022 As A Unit -ep<\/p>\n<p>2024 Mentes Reae -full lenght album<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album opens with the instrumental track &#8220;Mens Rea,&#8221; setting the tone for the entire album with a fitting beginning. Next in line is the explosive track &#8220;Meta Self,&#8221; addressing contemporary social media culture and the hedonistic, egocentric worldview it creates. The third track, the powerful &#8220;Hope Is a Lie,&#8221; with its catchy chorus, delves into the misery of life, destiny, and the futility of resistance. Following that is &#8220;Succession,&#8221; the fourth track, narrating the lengths a person is willing to go to reach the top. Halfway through the album, the magnificent &#8220;Remembrance Fades&#8221; resonates, telling the story of a person who, in their last thought, understands the meaning of life amidst all its meaninglessness. The sixth track, &#8220;Insanity Hubris,&#8221; is a cry on the brink of violent madness. The seventh track, titled &#8220;Domesticated Violence,&#8221; addresses domestic violence and the resulting trauma. The eighth track is named &#8220;Derelict,&#8221; depicting the awakening to reality and the ease of denying it. The ninth and final track is called &#8220;Reprisal Scars,&#8221; a concluding tale of a person who has been exploited by a trusted individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digital version of the album will be available for listening in its entirety in early September. An interesting aspect of the release is that fans can pre-order the physical version to be delivered to their homes on the release date of May 31, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We believe albums are enjoyable to listen to \u2013 and have traditionally been listened to \u2013 as complete entities. In these times of playlists and single-song golden ages, understanding album compositions in the form of sporadically released songs is quite impossible. Therefore, we want to offer fans and other enthusiasts the opportunity to dive into a complete album in the old-school way earlier, and the digital release will follow in a more modern way with single releases in the fall.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Order your copy:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inverse-records.myshopify.com\/products\/hagalas-mentes-reae-cd\">Inverse Shop<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levykauppax.fi\/artist\/hagalas\/mentes_reae\/#923846\">Levykauppa \u00c4X<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you wish to buy something to wear, visit our just opened <a href=\"https:\/\/mainosjane.fi\/tuote-osasto\/asiakkaiden-kaupat\/hagalas\/\">webshop<\/a>.
