Rotten Sound Premiere New Single & Music Video "Brave New World" From Upcoming New EP “Mass Extinction”

Finnish grindcore veterans Rotten Sound have confirmed that their new EP, “Mass Extinction,” will arrive on December 12th via Season Of Mist. Alongside the announcement, the band have unleashed a video for the new single “Brave New World.”

In a joint statement, Rotten Sound reflected on the release and its ferocity, commenting:

“This is one of the most aggressive songs on our new EP. ‘Brave New World‘ is about how misinformation, polarization, conspiracy theories and censorship has lead people into a state of distrust. Our strong sense of community has been replaced by skepticism and fear. The fight for coherent and reliable information is now a constant struggle.”

The creative process for this upcoming 8-song outing holds ties to the same sessions that birthed the group’s 2023 full-length outing “Apocalypse“. As for the overall vision for this effort, vocalist Keijo Niinimaa stated, “We like to make concise statements. Bringing about real meaningful change seems to take forever. Misinformation, polarization, conspiracy theories and censorship have made everyone more distrustful.”
