Finnish Progressive Metal act Pressure Points releases their second single from this autumn, titled “Shapeless.” The first one, “The Chase,” saw the light of day in September accompanied by a stunning music video directed by Teppo Ristola. These releases are a continuation to their critically-acclaimed third album, The Island, which was released in March 2023 through Art Gates Records.

In addition to the release, the group continues to concentrate on writing new material for their fourth album and continues touring. Hellsinki Metal Festival club show and a festival in Masters of Rock, Czechia, are already been booked for next year.
The founding member of the band and drummer Vili Auvinen summarizes his views of the song:
“Shapeless captures the wide spectrum of musical styles we explore. It transitions seamlessly from a mellow intro to arena-rock-inspired 80s metal riffs, and from groovy, hard-hitting death metal passages to catchy, pop-infused rock choruses. Blend all of this with the distinct Pressure Points touch, and you get a modern progressive pop-metal anthem.“
