The Rasmus Unleash New Single ‘Creatures of Chaos’

October 14, 2025 rocknews

Finnish rock trailblazers The Rasmus are cranking the chaos with a powerhouse new version of their outsider anthem ‘Creatures of Chaos’, featuring Theory of a Deadman frontman Tyler Connolly. Dropped October 10, 2025, via Better Noise Music, this collaboration—blending Lauri Ylönen’s brooding vocals with Connolly’s gravelly grit—marks the band’s first-ever US rock radio single, thrusting their dark, hook-laden sound into American airwaves. As the second single from their 11th studio album Weirdo (out September 12), it’s a global rally cry for misfits, outsiders, and anyone bucking the social media grind. With the Weirdo Tour storming Europe through December and 2026 dates locking in (including Australia in Jan-Feb), The Rasmus are proving why they’re Finland’s #1 rock export—6x Platinum, 8x Gold, and millions sold worldwide.

From the lyric video’s shadowy vibes to Connolly’s “Heck Yeah!” enthusiasm, this track is a fresh dimension on Weirdo‘s synth-crunch fusion. Stream it now, snag album bundles, and lock in tour tickets before the chaos sells out.

‘Creatures of Chaos’ (feat. Tyler Connolly): A Misfit Anthem Reloaded

Originally dropped in March as Weirdo‘s second single, ‘Creatures of Chaos’ is The Rasmus’ subversive call to arms: A “global shout-out and invitation to all misfits and anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider,” per frontman Lauri Ylönen. With Emppu Suhonen‘s stadium-sized guitars, Eero Heinonen‘s bass pulse, and Aki Hakala‘s driving drums, the original (952k+ video views) fused ’00s emo-rock nostalgia with futuristic electronics. Now, Tyler Connolly‘s back-and-forth verses add raw edge—”I got asked to guest sing… once I heard it, ‘Heck Yeah’! Loved the track… Now I got to get myself to Finland!!!”—elevating it to US radio fodder.

Ylönen elaborates: “Tyler is an amazing singer and added a new dimension… It’s one of our best from the new album.” The track digs deeper: “About the pressure of social media—by 25, you need money, investments… People are scared of growing up. I’ve always gained strength from being the underdog.” It’s personal heroism too: “I sing like I could have been a soldier, but I’m afraid of guns… My job is to give one fan in the front row strength.” Chaoszine calls it “taut grooves and stadium-ready choruses,” while Noise11 hails the collab as “a natural fit” for its bruising, sing-along power.

The Rasmus: Finland’s Rock Royalty, Still Evolving

Since 1994’s debut, The Rasmus—Lauri Ylönen (vocals), Emppu Suhonen (guitars), Eero Heinonen (bass), Aki Hakala (drums)—have shattered records: #1 on Spotify/YouTube/IG/Deezer in Finland, millions sold globally. Dead Letters (2003’s “In the Shadows”) went 6x Platinum; now, Weirdo evolves their sound—”heavy guitars against futuristic electronics… pop hooks for any fan.” AntiMusic calls them “record-breaking rockers,” while Heavy Mextal praises the Connolly collab as “emocionante nueva versión.”

X is electric: “The Rasmus x Tyler Connolly? Misfit anthems just leveled up!” With 2026 Aus dates locked, they’re proving underdogs rule.
