Dark Matters (Box) (Ger)

2017 is the year that The Rasmus have set themselves for a big international comeback. The single "Paradise", showed that the band is not resting on their laurels or former accomplishments. "Paradise" sounds fresh and modern, but still strikes that chord of familiar Nordic melancholia that resonates with the group's hundreds of thousands of fans. The new album Dark Matters was recorded and mixed in Stockholm, produced by the very successful Swedish team the family. "The thinking behind our new songs was to create the kind of music we would like to listen to. We haven't abandoned our signature northern melancholy but you can hear a wide range of influences in our new compositions. The new album is like a rollercoaster with many different emotions and personal feelings. Our music is at times dark, speculative, melodic and sometimes even sad," singer Lauri Ylönen explains. Despite all the new innovations, The Rasmus don't deviate so much from the familiar sound so welcomed and loved by their fans. The Rasmus have released eight studio albums between 1996 through to 2012 in more than 50 territories worldwide. Dark Matters is available in four formats: standard CD (PGM 093CD), limited digisleeve CD with a bonus track (PGM 931CD), standard LP (PGM 093LP), and limited edition transparent vinyl LP (PGM 931LP).
