Post Pulse release new single from upcoming album – “Incredible Creatures” showcases the band at their most massive
Post Pulse, who will release their third album in May, have unveiled one more single from the upcoming record. ”Incredible Creatures”, the final single from the “Lupaus” album, presents the band at their very best: the track grooves heavily, sounds massive, and offers strong melodic hooks. The track is also accompanied by a music video.
The band’s main songwriter and guitarist Antti Karhu comments:
“’Incredible Creatures‘ is one of the highlights of the album for me. The song feels especially meaningful, partly because it was still very different just a couple of weeks before we entered the studio. Even though all the elements seemed to be in place during pre-production, the track always felt like it was missing something, and that missing piece was brought in by our bassist Sam Roon during our final rehearsals before the drum recordings. Our drummer Anttoni Välimaa quickly picked up the new patterns, and suddenly an old song felt fresh again. The final result was crowned during the vocal recordings, where Tapani brought entirely new shades to the performance, both in the aggressive and clean parts. This song felt like it knew what it wanted — it revealed itself to us little by little, and we simply followed where it led.”
Post Pulse vocalist Tapani Rantanen found inspiration for the lyrics in the way Antti described the song’s contrasting moods:
“Antti told me about a great idea he had, combining beauty and danger within a single character. I really liked the concept, so writing the lyrics based on that idea came very naturally.”
