Turmion Kätilöt mark an important milestone in their career as they now announce their twelfth studio album, Resodance, to be released on October 23, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. The news is accompanied by the release of the single and music video Raivotarjonta, offering fans a strong glimpse into the album’s new electronically charged direction.
Resodance: Turmion Kätilöt’s Most Electrified Sound Yet
According to the band themselves, Resodance is their most electronic album to date – a clear step forward in both sound and production. The record is produced in collaboration with Mikko Tegelman and develops Turmion Kätilöt’s characteristic, uncompromising industrial metal with even deeper elements of powerful synth arrangements. The transformation reflects the band’s persistent desire to renew and challenge themselves, something that has permeated their more than 20-year career.
The single Raivotarjonta sets the tone for the album with its influences from late-90s and early 00s electronic music, infused into the group’s distinct heavy expression. The track carries restless rhythms and stripped-down harmonies, where simplicity, contrast, and the massive soundscape deliver tangible intensity.
Lyrically, Raivotarjonta explores the power of words – and the mental wounds words can leave, especially in today’s social media landscape. Vocalist Shag-U’s portrayal revolves around a person pushed to the breaking point by repeated verbal attacks, highlighting the importance of mental health and personal well-being.
MC Raaka Pee describes the song as a living entity with driving, restless rhythms and minimalist, cold harmonies. The music is anchored in old-school machine music and simplifies the expression to increase tension and impact – a clear example of the album’s thematic and musical direction. In this way, Resodance becomes accessible to both loyal listeners and new fans.
The music video for "Raivotarjonta" provides a sweaty, breathless visual interpretation capturing the song’s high tempo and emotional power. The direction effectively interacts with both lyrics and music, further strengthening Turmion Kätilöt’s reputation for always delivering energetic and expressive visual productions.
Besides the album, the group is also preparing for an intense concert season in autumn 2026. A highlight is the large-scale Colossal Disco concert at Helsinki Ice Hall on October 24, 2026 – the most extensive show in the band’s history. The event is almost sold out, but a small number of tickets are still available for those who want to experience the spectacle live.

With their uncompromising mix of provocative themes, boundary-crossing innovation, and explosive live shows, Turmion Kätilöt have cemented their place in modern industrial metal. Resodance carries the band’s legacy forward by addressing current social issues and pushing the boundaries of the genre. With "Raivotarjonta" they mark a new, more electronic era, and much suggests an exciting autumn for both the band and their audience.
