Cerebrum have released Jacket Full of Malice through Inverse Records, the third song since they started again.
They formed in Turku in 1992, made two demos, turned progressive on the second one and then disappeared in 1996 without releasing an album. That is the whole first life. Four of the original members came back in 2023 at the Finnish Death Metal Maniacs festival and have been working since, with Tuomas Virtanen added on keyboards.
Mikko Suomi, who sings and plays bass, wrote the song and the words. It is about everything a person pushes down and the moment the coat splits, which he describes as a cleansing fire that leaves nothing good behind. He also warns that it is the most straightforward thing on the coming EP, which means the rest of it is not.
Virtanen mixed it and Niklas Jussila mastered it at Finnvox. The EP arrives later in 2027.
Memento Mori collected the nineties material last July as Vestiges of an Evoked Past, so the first life is finally on a record too.
