I HELVETE RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "PÄÄTÖSMATKA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

i Helvete’s third album is getting closer while the release date is set to 6th of November 2026. The band has released the third and last single from the upcoming album "Halla". Combining melodic black and death metal, i Helvete’s new song "Päätösmatka" includes various instruments like violin, piano and vibraphone but also a massive choir in the choruses. 

The album’s first single Nälkätalvi was selected as one of Metal Hammer’s Tracks of the Week alongside 11 other songs.

"Halla is a theme album about old times when surviving against nature was a daily life struggle. Halla is a Finnish word and lazily translated means "frost". It is a phenomenon, but in Finnish mythology it is also a fairytale character that destroys the fields with its coldness. All the single and album covers draw inspiration from the works of the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), whose art also inspired us in our songwriting and composition process.” The band comments.

Finnish melodic black/death metal band i Helvete will release their third album, "Halla", on November 6th, 2026. The self-released album will be available digitally.

"Halla" brings together the atmospheric side of i Helvete with the intensity that has remained central to the band's black metal roots. Across six tracks, the album makes use of a broader range of instruments, with session musicians also contributing to the recordings.

The material itself was completed in 2024, but line-up changes during that year delayed the production process. The finished record now arrives as the band's third full-length.

The album was recorded by i Helvete and mixed and mastered by Jari Prinkkilä.
