The Rasmus release new music video for ‘Venomous Moon’

THE RASMUS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Venomous Moon, is the brand new single from the Finnish alternative rock band and follows on from the release of their last single, Bones, which was released back in May. The new single features a guest appearance from Finnish cello rock band APOCALYPTICA.

The new song is the second song to be lifted from the band’s upcoming new album, which was recorded during the pandemic, with the band members being stranded in Hawaii, Helsinki and Sydney and with the producer Joshua in England. It is co-produced by Martin Hansen who has worked with the band on four albums, including their breakthrough single In the Shadows. Hansen has also worked with APOCALYPTICA before, who contribute their cello riffs to the track. THE RASMUS’ singer Lauri Ylönen and APOCALYPTICA have previously worked together on the songs Bittersweet and Life Burns.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Lauri Ylönen says, Venomous Moon is about isolation and being separated from the world, but I wrote it before the virus came along. I must have caught a glimpse of the future, which then added a whole new layer of melancholy to the song.”
