Finnish industrial metal band Resolution 13 is currently in the final stages of releasing its upcoming sophomore album, Derelict, in collaboration with Sliptrick Records. Yesterday, the band shared a cover version of Massive Attack's "Paradise Circus", along with an accompanying lyric video, featuring Ville Tuomi (Kyyria, Suburban Tribe, Leningrad Cowboys, Raskasta Joulua, etc.) as co-vocalist.
Started in 2010, Resolution 13 is a project of Marko "Dallas" Lehtinen, Tony Buckman and Nico "Hardtone" Hartonen. The band is forged from experienced musicians from well-known and respected bands and projects on Finnish grounds, like Drive, Godsplague, The Black League, Grendel, Dimebag Beyond Forever and underground stoner rock band Dope Tribe Devils. The band's debut album, Colossal, was well-received globally in 2015, and they are now putting the final touches on their follow-up. Resolution 13's music and sound are characterized by hard down-tuned guitar riffs, ultra-low bass frequencies, supersonic synths, and war-battalion-like drumming. In 2019, the band won the regional award of Emergenza Finland, came in second in the Finnish finals, and also won the award for the best singer. Resolution 13 is known for its hard-smashing live performances and the ability to create a balance of hard-heavy and beautiful harmonies in industrial-like music.
Vocalist Nico Hartonen on "Paradise Circus": "'Paradise Circus' is a rare gem. It has a kind of 'post-apocalyptic' feel in it, but in a way like the mind of a playing child, you know? I mean, as an adult you start thinking about life like a kid... It is growing towards the end and so do your feelings. I know this sounds crazy, but hey... It's a twisted world where we live in".
About the process of the new album Gábor Dancs comments: "The summer has been busy for everyone, but now we can finally focus on releasing this record. Unfortunately, the pandemic and the fact that we were forced to find a new sound engineer during the album production greatly delayed any publishing. However, we were extremely lucky when Euge decided to take this project under his wings and finished the rest of the mixing with light speed, yet creating the sound we dreamed of. No detail was left unchecked, and we don't do filler tracks. When the time comes, this record will be crushing. This was also the first time we collaborated with Ville, and there will be more of him also featured on another few tracks on the record. It was really nice to see and hear how he puts his heart into every take. His passion inspired us, and their voices completed each other really well with Nicos".
Derelict was recorded in Dallas Studios, Helsinki, Finland, in 2022; mixed and produced by Euge Valovirta and mastered by Jacob Hansen. Stay tuned for more, and now: Resolution 13's version of "Paradise Circus". Link
