The Odorants — “We Belong Dead”

Finnish melodic punk band The Odorants return with “We Belong Dead,” their latest single on Striped Records—a fast, hook-driven anthem that fuses classic melodic punk energy with a touch of dark cinematic flair.

The track’s title nods to Bride of Frankenstein’s iconic line, and that gothic undercurrent runs just beneath the surface. Guitars charge forward with tight precision, the drums punch through every bar, and the vocals balance grit and melody with effortless control. It’s darkly playful, not parody—punk that knows its roots but isn’t afraid to flirt with atmosphere.

Production-wise, “We Belong Dead” is crisp and direct. The sound is polished without losing edge, letting the hooks and harmonies shine. It’s a reminder of how The Odorants continue to evolve: still fast, still melodic, but now with a confident cinematic streak that makes the song stand out in their catalog.

Equal parts punk power and eerie charm, “We Belong Dead” proves The Odorants can mix melody, bite, and personality better than most
