Finnish 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking rockers THE RASMUS (@therasmusofficial) have teamed with Theory of A Deadman’s lead singer Tyler Connolly to release an exciting new version of THE RASMUS’ powerful outsider anthem “Creatures of Chaos.” Out today (October 10), this notably marks THE RASMUS’ first US rock radio single. Listen to the song HERE and watch the lyric video HERE.

Back in March, THE RASMUS—Lauri Ylönen (vocals), Emppu Suhonen (guitars), Eero Heinonen (bass), and Aki Hakala (drums)—originally released “Creatures of Chaos.” The track was the second single from their 11th studio album, WEIRDO, which arrived September 12 via Better Noise Music (the band’s first for the label) and Playground Music. The album, as well as limited-edition merchandise bundles, are available now HERE.

”Tyler [Connolly] is an amazing singer and he added a new dimension to the song,” says frontman Lauri Ylönen. “This song is one of our best from the new album and it’s so cool that it gets some spotlight now.”

Tyler Connolly shares: “I got asked to guest sing on this Rasmus song and once I heard it, I was like, ‘Heck Yeah’!  Loved the track and love the band! Really enjoyed the back-and-forth verses between us, and it truly rocks! Now I got to get myself to Finland!!!”

Lauri explains that “Creatures of Chaos” is a “global shout out and an invitation to all misfits and anyone out there who’s ever felt like an outsider to join us! It was one of the first songs, and that’s kind of how the album title came about. It’s also about accepting people as they are, which in this world is getting much harder for people to do. For me, it’s more personal: I sing like I could have been a soldier, but I’m afraid of guns. I could have been this or that, but I wasn’t strong enough to be those. My job is to do this. And I’m singing to one fan in the front row, giving her or him strength to carry on. It’s another kind of hero.”

“Creatures of Chaos” is “also about the pressure of social media,” elaborates Lauri. “People feel like by 25 they need to have money, investments, be somebody. A lot of people are scared of growing up. I’ve always gained strength from being the underdog, and I love that. It keeps me going.”

Meanwhile, earlier this summer (on July 19), THE RASMUS performed as the headliner—and only foreign artist—of the Atlas Festival in war-torn Ukraine. They became an ambassador for the Good Donations charity fund, and along with the Atlas Festival and Blockbuster Mall (where the festival was held), they ultimately raised over 3.5 million hryvnias ($84,000) which was turned into a donation of special surgical instruments for the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialized Hospital. The funds were used to order and purchase modern, high-quality surgical kits from Germany. This equipment has already been delivered to Ukraine and handed over to doctors at the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialized Hospital. THE RASMUS released a short documentary film, “The Rasmus in Ukraine,” about their time in the country on September 26. Watch it HERE.

THE RASMUS are known for their artful mix of musically dark atmospheres, catchy modern pop stylings, and stadium-sized guitar crunch. They marked the September 12 release of WEIRDO by teaming up with The Funeral Portrait singer Lee Jennings for the title track and accompanying video.

Static Noise Mag called WEIRDO “…one of their best records yet. There are so many layers to this record, it blends a modern rock edge with flashes of 80s-inspired synths, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh…Taken as a whole, WEIRDO is solid from start to finish, an album that fuses nostalgic echoes of THE RASMUS’ early 2000s sound with modern rock production and flashes of ‘80s-inspired synth. Every track feels alive with creative, sharply written lyrics and the kind of emotional depth the band has always excelled at. It’s a record that proves THE RASMUS are still evolving while staying true to their roots, and it leaves you immediately wanting more.”

THE RASMUS will bring their unforgettable stage show to audiences worldwide throughout 2025 on the “Weirdo Tour”; shows for 2026 are starting to be confirmed. The band recently concluded a month-long U.S. trek with The Funeral Portrait and their own North American headlining tour. Tickets are on sale now for its European leg (9/12 – 12/6), as well as their 2026 shows; see the full dates listed below.

With WEIRDO, THE RASMUS once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with in the rock world. In their native Finland, where they are the reigning #1 rock band, THE RASMUS stands at #1 on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Deezer as far as followers, views, likes and streams. It is often said that the best bands are the ones which keep surprising you time and time again, in the most thrilling of ways. This is something that the 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified band have been doing since their major label debut and a creative responsibility they take great pride in. If you’ve listened to any of their albums, you’ll be able to hear a kaleidoscopic collage of heavy guitars against futuristic electronics, as well as pop hooks that can find their way into the heart of any kind of music fan. As a direct result, they’ve become one of Finland’s greatest musical exports, selling millions of records worldwide and winning award after award.
