History
Bloodred Hourglass, also known as “BRHG”, is a metal band from a small & cold city of Mikkeli, located in the eastern part of Finland. Originally formed in 2005 by Hyvönen (drums) & Koukonen (vocals), and soon joined by bass-player Moilanen and guitarists Nenonen and Tiilikainen, Bloodred Hourglass quickly gathered the knowledge of Finnish metalheads by a few self-released demos and fairly decent amount of gigs played as a non-labeled act. After six years of consistently working on music and destroying the audiences, the time was set to record the very first full-length album, later titled as “Lifebound”.
“Lifebound”, which was recorded at Ansa Studio, Ulvila, Finland, instantly got the attention of various record labels and in April 2012 Bloodred Hourglass signed a deal with Spinefarm Records. Released in August 24th 2012, “Lifebound” received very warm welcome around the world and reached #22 in the official Finnish album chart. It was later released digitally in the US on November 2012.
