Jyväskylä, Finland – Experimental hard rock explorers WARCHIEF have officially joined the Octopus Rising roster, the (un)parallel label of Argonauta Records. Known for their unique fusion of stoner, doom, sludge, grunge, 90s alt-rock, progressive rock, and AOR, the Finnish outfit is set to release their long-awaited sophomore album, "Toil & Trouble", later this year. To celebrate this new chapter, WARCHIEF has unveiled the first taste of their upcoming record with the release of their new single, "Ghost Egg". The track showcases the band's signature dynamic interplay between crushing heaviness and intricate, exploratory melodies, solidifying their reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the heavy rock underground: https://youtu.be/HdiE40HibvA Since their inception, WARCHIEF has continuously evolved, pushing the boundaries of their sonic identity. Their journey began with the "For Heavy Damage" demo in 2011, followed by their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2015, released on Phonosphera Records. The band gained momentum through extensive touring, sharing stages with heavyweights like Bongzilla, Mars Red Sky and Pentagram. Their 2019 EP "Morning Home" further expanded their musical horizons, incorporating more progressive and atmospheric elements into their signature doom-laden sound. With "Toil & Trouble", WARCHIEF embarks on yet another sonic voyage, deepening their exploration of contrast and complexity. The partnership with Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records marks a significant milestone, ensuring that the band's artistic vision and relentless forward momentum are fully supported. "A lot of effort has gone into ensuring the quality of this release, as well as our artistic development," the band states. "Finding a partner that values and supports that growth is paramount, and we believe we've found that in Octopus Rising. We share a lot of DNA with other bands on the label, but we also bring something entirely unique to the scene." Stay tuned for further details on "Toil & Trouble", coming soon via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
