SWEATMASTER, one of the aristocrats of Finnish garage rock, is making a big comeback with the release of their fifth album "More!" in January 2026. After the release of their 2010 album "Dig Up the Knife", the band took a break, which ended a few years ago with live performances both domestic and abroad. At the same time, new material began to emerge in the rehearsal room, and the band quickly found a common strategy for working on it.
"We were unanimous about the strengths of our band and decided to get to the heart of the matter. The main idea was to make straightforward songs carried by the vocals. The kind that would work well live with our aggressive playing style," says the band's drummer Matti Kallio.
Svart Records will release SWEATMASTER's fifth album early next year. "More!" is a sharp package of fourteen songs that has not been polished to death.
"We wanted a raw and electric sound for the new album, built tightly around the three of us playing. The aim was to stick to SWEATMASTER's original energy and not spread ourselves too thin. However, despite our efforts, the intervening years brought some new tones with them," guitarist Mikko Luukko explains the background of the new album.
The album's first single was released on September 19th, and according to singer-bassist Sasu Mykkänen, "Destroyer" is the essence of SWEATMASTER.
"The drum fill draws you into the pull of the electric triangle. The guitar taps at the ballads and wants nothing more than to drive the rhythm until the passionate vocals take over. The song doesn't lead anywhere, it's already there. 2 minutes, 37 seconds. Wham bam. Here you go."
