Finnish progressive metal act Pressure Points will release two new singles this autumn. The first one, ‘The Chase’, saw the light of day today, accompanied by a stunning music video directed by Teppo Ristola. This release is a continuation to their critically-acclaimed third album, The Island, which was released in March 2023 through Art Gates Records.

The second single Shapeless will be released on 18 December 2024. At the same time, the group is concentrating on writing new material for their fourth album and continuing to play shows. A festival in the Czech Republic has already been booked for next summer.
Veli-Matti Kyllönen, the main composer and lyricist of the song, shares his insight:
“Chase is a bit of a departure from Pressure Points’ usual sound, and not just because it’s shorter than our usual length. It’s the first piece of music I wrote after wrapping up our last album, and the band loved it right away. Given our shared love of melodic death metal and epic melodies, that wasn’t a big surprise. I hope you enjoy it!”
