Bassist Henri Soisalo calls EVENT RELENTLESS’ new single ‘Light The Fuse’ ‘a snapshot of the band’s new sound.’ Released November 6, 2026, the track has an accompanying official audio stream and previews the Finnish modern metal band’s forthcoming full-length, expected in early 2027.
Vocalist and guitarist Juho Raita describes the song as pairing emotionally driven melodies with heavy riffs. It follows the previously released singles ‘The Last Chance,’ ‘Way to You’ and ‘Closer To The End,’ continuing the band’s combination of aggressive riffing and melodic hooks.
Max Morton mixed ‘Light The Fuse.’ The announcement cites his work with Jinjer, Ignea and Arch Enemy. Raita says: ‘Working with Max on this track was awesome. The mix brings out details we’re really proud of, from the melodic layers to the punch of the heavier parts. Max understood exactly what we wanted to achieve.’
The forthcoming album remains in progress, with one more single anticipated before the full-length release. Raita describes the writing approach: ‘For this record, we are focusing on heavy, hard-hitting riffs that make you want to move, combined with massive, catchy melodic choruses. That balance between raw energy and strong melodic hooks is at the heart of the new EVENT RELENTLESS sound.’
Raita adds that the band are putting everything they have into the new songs and are eager for listeners to hear how their sound has evolved.
Formed in 2013, EVENT RELENTLESS have played more than 150 live shows across 15 countries. Their music has been described as ‘hybrid metal,’ combining aggressive guitar riffs, technical musicianship and melodic choruses. Their earlier releases include a self-titled EP from 2018 and their debut full-length, Circle, from 2019.
The supplied lineup comprises Raita on vocals and guitar and bassist Soisalo.
