Turmion Kätilöt announce new album ‘Resodance’

High-octane Finnish industrial metal masters TURMION KÄTILÖT have officially announced their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Resodance, scheduled for global release on October 23, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, the upcoming record perfectly captures the ferocious, raw energy of the band’s legendary live performances. Musically and lyrically, Resodance dives deep into sonic experimentation, exploring dark, interconnected themes of universal cycles, resonance, and personal transformation.

To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed the album’s fierce first single, “Raivotarjonta,” accompanied by a high-octane, sweaty, fast-paced music video. The track serves as a perfect blueprint for the album’s overall direction: crushing guitar riffs meet pulsating electronic beats, while aggressive vocal deliveries collide head-on with unforgettable melodic hooks.

Known for wrapping dark, heavy subject matter in an irresistible sense of rhythm and theatrical spectacle, TURMION KÄTILÖT promises that Resodance will be their most electrifying and transformative chapter yet.

Vocalist Shag-U comments on the single: “

The lyrics started from the saying, “It can’t really hurt if it doesn’t even draw blood,” which took on a life of its own as I watched the strange world of social media and the way people speak to one another. The idea that words can’t destroy someone is absurd. Most of us know, at the very least, of someone who ended up doing something irreversible because of them.

From there, the story began to take shape around a person who finally snaps. Rage boils over from beneath despair as the situation hurtles towards its inevitable breaking point. 

Pain doesn’t need a face. All you have to do is look in the mirror.

Add a touch of personal experience, the title Raivotarjonta suggested by MC Raaka Pee, and there it was.”

MC Raaka Pee adds:

“Raivotarjonta doesn’t move forward – it breathes. Driven by restless rhythms and stripped-back harmonies, it draws inspiration from the cold, uncompromising machine music of the late ’90s and early 2000s, where simplicity becomes overwhelming through tension, contrast and sheer weight.”

Formed in 2003, Turmion Kätilöt (Midwives of Destruction) have carved out a unique legacy as the undisputed kings of Finnish industrial metal. Melding fierce metal instrumentation with danceable electronic beats, the band has earned gold records, topped national charts, and built a reputation for delivering some of the most chaotic, energetic, and visually spectacular live shows in the European heavy music scene.
