Finnish Metal Group ELECTRIC DEATHBEAT Joins Sliptrick
Joining the ranks at Sliptrick Records:
Electric Deathbeat (FIN) Modern Metal | Melodic Death Metal
Electric Deathbeat is a modern metal band hailing from Oulu, Finland. The first full line-up of the group saw its daylight in 2014 and included two pair of brothers; Juha handling vocals, guitars and synths & Antti Väyrynen taking care of low-end frequencies. Joni Alatalo & Jiri Huovinen on guitars and Waltteri Väyrynen (Opeth, ex-Paradise Lost, ex-Vallenfyre, Bodom After Midnight etc.) behind the drums. The same line-up had earlier played years together also in local bands like Luna Tremensis & The Wargasm.
A second configuration saw minor changes as Jiri changed from guitar to drums due Waltteri having a bunch of projects going on already. A debut album Dead Echo Paranoia was released worldwide in 10th of July 2015. In Spring 2016, Electric Deathbeat was the co-headliner in European Tour "The Singularity Tour" with Danish companions from Raunchy. The tour included ten shows around Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland. A show in St. Petersburg, Russia with Amaranthe was played in October 2016.
In 2018, there was another line-up change when drummer Jiri decided to focus on his other projects. Oskari Haapalainen stepped in and the machine kept rolling. Jaakko Koskiniemi was also introduced in 2019 as a second guitar player to fulfill live shows.
Their second album A Ghost Triangle is waiting to be released worldwide through Sliptrick Records in 2023. The album includes 12 songs of pure Finnish modern, melodic and versatile metal.
