It was confirmed by The Rasmus’ Finnish website what most of us has known for months: that TR’s secong single off BR will be Justify. Here’s the report posted at their site:
The Rasmus are right now in Mexico doing some promotion and live shows (check out the tour section for more details). They’ll go to Greece and Germany in the upcoming days, also.
At the end of October they will be shooting a video for the next single from “Black Roses” that will be “Justify”; the single will be released in Finland in December, and at the moment there isn’t any information about the release of the single in other countries.
We can expect a January release, I would guess, for most of the other countries? I hope so. In the meantime, the song is already playing on their MySpace profile. So, the video is probably being shot as of right now. What do you expect from it??
We are extremely proud and happy to announce that with a short time selling, The Rasmus’ latest album, Black Roses, is already a GOLD record in their native Finland! Not only this, but also the single Living in a World without you is number one in three separate charts in finland, and throughout Europe and Latin America. Definetly this shows how important and relevant the band is not only in their home country, but in all of Europe (and may I say the world?! haha). Here’s the note on The band’s official site:
Having released their 7th studio album “Black Roses” on September 24th, the Rasmus went straight in at number one on the official Finnish Album Chart this week.
Not content with that the band also topped the official Finnish single and download charts this week with “Livin’ in a world withou you” as well as being quite happy to spend their 6th week on the #1 spot of the Music Control radio chart.
The Rasmus are also to be awarded with a Gold disc for sales on Black Roses in Finland as they commence the Dynasty tour together with Finnish disco-pop sensation Mariko and progressive rocksters Von Hertzen Brothers.
Congratulations to tbe band! We are extremely happy and proud of their achievement. What do YOU think about it?
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!

FINALLY, our prayers were heard, and the new Rasmus video is out! The single, as reported earlier by the band is Living in a World Without You. Here’s the video, and the lyrics:
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 →
