Pineland Moor is a melodic alternative metal quartet hailing from Lihti, Finland. The band started as three brothers and their best friend in 2023 and has now become a way for them to explore method music!
With a mix of different subgenres of metal and rock, Pineland Moor has created a sound that is unique and fun in its own genre. It's got a fun beat and fight lyrics, so it's definitely made its way onto my daily playlist. The lyrics skip over the "what if we don't resist" questions and have you amped to answer the question of how and where, instead of why or when.
This band uses their songs as a storytelling element. Their new single, "Resistance," is a story-song about fear, control, and conformity in society and life. It's a song about not following the status quo or falling into that lovely little spot I like to call a comfortable hell. This song couldn't have come at a better time for Americans like myself, who are craving music that matches what we're feeling and seeing in our day-to-day lives right now.

Heavier guitar with the strong vocals is a great vibe in some parts, while softer and toned down against the guitar in others, adding extra depth to the song. The duality from a few more sing-songy lines into harsh vocals and heavier instrumentals really seals the deal on how good this song is! It's not just a fight song; it's a piece of art hidden behind the themes of the lyrics themselves.
All around, "Resistance" is a solid song, and it goes hard beyond the message. The song holds up to the test of meaning and skill! Pineland Moor knew what they were doing with this song! They didn't just do the dang thing; they leveled it up! We need more anthems that don't just motivate the fight in us but still mean something and are good outside of a more political meaning.
I also highly recommend Pineland Moor's song "Effigy" as well, if you want to hear more from them! The guitar riffs in that give me the best hits of dopamine!
