FINALLY the day we were all waiting for, the release date of Black Roses! The album is now out in Finland and Germany, and will be out on monday worldwide! Support The Rasmus and buy/order your copy NOW!
A whole three years have passed but now the Finns are back with their seventh studio album Black Roses. Despite a seemingly dark title, The Rasmus venture out of their own shadow, showing what is to date their brightest and friendliest side.
Be surprised as no one less than the song writer and producer legend Desmond Child (Alice Cooper, Kiss, etc.) done his part to create this album. With his customary clear, slightly reserved voice, Lauri Ylönen sums up the mood at the 2008 Rasmus camp: “We are inspired again and feel super, insanely energetic and really excited about what you will think of ‘Black Roses’…”The stone rose on the self-designed cover resembles a compass with five directions. One stands for the unknown, which is exactly where The Rasmus are headed in a good mood and with a thirst for action.
Still can’t get it? It’s ok, in the meantime, check the songs out on THE RASMUS WIDGET. They all have commentary by Lauri himself!
The Rasmus’ Fans over at the Rasmus Community asked some questions, and the guys kindly answered! Check out this very cool interview, released a couple of weeks ago. Hadn’t posted it because it wasn’t on youtube yet

It’s hard to believe it came to this
You paralysed my body with a poisoned kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you Read the rest of this entry →
